I thought it was going to be the best Christmas ever I woke up very very early and sat up as slowly as I could , tring not to shake the bed. I didn't want vita or Maxine to wake up. I wanted to have this moment all by myself. I wriggled down to the end of the bed, carefully edging round vita. She was always curled up like a monkey, knees right under her chin.it was so dark I couldn't see anything, but I could feel the stripy socks at the end of the bed and could feel how many presents where there Maxie and vita left a mince pie and a carrot stick for Santa and the reindeer and written teeny letters to him so I did some to.
