We usually don't sing carols, but
sometimes we do. I usually try to tie a bow
on our cat, it hardly ever stays on him.
In the morning my little brother and I get
up. We go into Mom and Dad's room and
practically need a tow -truck to get them up,
when we finally get them up we go out to the
tree and open our presents. After that we
have breakfast. -Krista Kraft, Gr. 7, Blyth
