A Mystery Present

“Gem! Gem! Wake up! Wake up!” shouted Kayleigh. “Santa’s been! Santa’s been!” she yelled as she jumped up and down on Gem’s bed. Gem glanced over to her clock at the side of the bed. The red numbers on it told her that it was 4.30am.

“Go back to bed Kay.” murmured Gem groggily. “Get away back to bed.” With that she turned over and closed her eyes again. But Kayleigh did not go away. Instead she was all the more insistent that Gem get out of bed. “Go and annoy mum and dad.” Gem muttered.

“I HATE YOU” Screamed Kayleigh and ran out of the room.

Thank goodness for that thought Gem. And she promptly fell asleep. When she woke up again it was 9.00am. She got up, pulled on her dressing gown and trudged down the stairs. When she got to the living room, she found Kayleigh, Mum and Dad chatting happily to each other amongst a heap of torn wrapping paper. Gem felt a bit upset at this.

“Morning” she mumbled.

“Good morning darling.” said her mum. “Come and open your presents love.” She sounded far too cheerful for that time of the morning.

Gem sat herself on the sofa next to a pile of presents. There was the CD that she had asked for, the DVD she had been after for ages and a new make up set. She had needed a new lipstick for quite a while. Once she had opened all of her Santa presents, she started to open the ones under the tree. She pulled out the first one. ‘From Granny Jean’ it read. She ripped off the wrapping paper and out fell a pair of shocking pink socks with yellow polka dots on them. She opened all the ones from her family – nothing too exciting. Finally there was only one present left. It didn’t have a name on it. ‘To Gemma’ said the label without a clue who it was from. She opened it curiously and there, out of that small packet was the most magnificent and splendid present she had ever received.
