The Mall was crowded,...very crowded. Max and Daisy were so excited by the Christmas decorations
I thought they might burst!
"It's Christmas!" says Max.
"Is chwigmaz!" says Daisy.
"Not yet," I say hoping they would listen.
They don't.
"We need to get home daddy before Father Christmas comes!" says Max
"Well Max, it's not Christmas yet so Santa's not coming tonight," I say.
"Why don't you tell Daisy about what happens on Christmas eve?" I say ready to hear about the reindeers, presents and the fireplace with milk and cookies.
"Daisy, Father Christmas lives in a gingerbread house in Laughland," says Max.
"You mean Lapland Max," I say.
"No La...ugh...land! Laughland" says a very certain Max.
"And on Christmas eve he wakes up and puts on his suit...a red suit like daddy's!," says Max
For the record, I don't own a red suit.
Elves and reindeer and faires live there too," says Max.
"and when Father Christmas went down stairs in the morning, he found the elves in the sitting room."
"Did you know Daisy, the elves are very naughty," says a serious Max.
"Yah!" says Daisy.
"Naughty?" I say.
"Yes. They throw and break things in Father Christmas' house!" says Max.
"Really?" I say. "What did Father Christmas do?"
Max then said in his deepest voice "Don't break my things elves! Fairies, take them to the dungeon!".
"He didn't make them clean it up first?"
"No daddy. The reindeers cleaned it up and then they put the toys, pumpkin..."
"and horse into the sleigh."
"Boo!" says Daisy
"He didn't go inside?" I say wondering what will come next.
"No because he had to go to his most favourite places!" says Max. "The zoo..."
"and dinosaur park!"
"Um, wouldn't the dinosaurs eat Father Christmas?" I say.
"Yes....
"Um no, because Father Christmas would call his fairies to take the dinosaurs away to the dungon,"says Max.
"Then Father Christmas goes home with the animals and dinosaurs."
"Then they have a big party with lots of cake and wine!"
"Isn't that just great Daisy?"
"Yahhhhh!" says Daisy
We may have peaked too early....
