[00:00.00]We tried to stay awake as long as possible
[00:03.15]to see Father Christmas,
[00:05.18]but the next thing we knew it was morning.
[00:08.09]Christmas morning!
[00:09.57]At the bottom of the bed was the stocking,
[00:11.87]now full of all kinds
[00:13.27]of small presents and sweets.
[00:15.93]Christmas morning was bright and sunny,
[00:18.07]and after church,my cousin David and I
[00:20.55]went out into the garden to play with
[00:22.54]our new presents.Lunch was always late,
[00:25.85]but what a lunch!
[00:27.39]A big turkey with all the vegetables followed
[00:30.30]by Christmas budding.
[00:32.40]We sang Christmas carols happily,
[00:34.81]Laughed at jokes,
[00:36.16]put on silly paper hats and laughed again.
[00:39.95]After lunch,
[00:40.91]the adults slept on the sofas in front of
[00:43.23]the Queen's speech on television,
[00:45.47]while we all played cards.
[00:47.77]Then we had tea,
[00:49.04]with a huge Christmas cake
[00:51.00]covered with snowmen and polar bears.
[00:53.99]It didn't seem possible,
[00:55.34]but we carried on eating.
[00:57.32]By bedtime all of the children were very tired.
[01:01.09]As soon as we turned off the light,
[01:02.73]we all fell into a deep.happy sleep.
