For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November. My sister and I sat down and wrote a letter 1 Father Christmas telling him about all the 2 (present) we wanted.
With December our 3 (excite) grew each day. On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate the house. Before going to bed, we put our stockings at the end of our beds. We tried to stay awake as long as possible 4 (see) Father Christmas but the next thing was Christmas morning!
At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of small presents and sweets. After church, my cousin and I played with our new presents. Lunch was always late, but what a lunch! 5 big turkey with all the vegetables 6 (follow) by Christmas pudding. I put so much food in my mouth sometimes 7 it was hard to swallow. We sang Christmas carols 8 (happy) and laughed at jokes.
After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas while we all played cards. Then we 9 (have) tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen. It didn’t seem possible, but we carried on eating. By bedtime we were very 10 (tire). As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, happy sleep.
