My Christmas.
The night before Christmas my mother told me to hang up my stocking so that Santa Claus would see it.
Christmas morning when I got up I found my stocking crammed full of candy and oranges. I also had a new wagon, a drawing slate, a blackboard, two pencil boxes, a book, set of Erectors and a printing outfit.
During the day I went sliding and after dinner went skating. We built a huge bonfire on the ice and stayed until about six o'clock.
After supper I played with my games and after pulling the chicken's wishbone went to bed and dreamed all night.
