Today is Christmas. I'm happy. The instant I woke up, I went downstairs quietly. There, under the Christmas tree, were 4 presents. I looked at the first one. It had a small card that said: "Hannah, find your lucky penny. Ho ho ho. Merry Christmas. Santa." The second one was a cylinder that also had a tiny card that said: "For Melody." The third one had an envelope that was addressed:
Melody
2003 Angel St.
Cloud City, Heaven 1002
(she was born on 10/02/2003) The fourth present said:
Hannah
1998 Happy Ave.
Sunnyville, Heaven 1021
(I was born on 10/21/1998) Santa sure had a good sense of humor that tickled my funnybone!
When my parents came down stairs (and Mel), I started to open my presents. First, I opened the addressed gift. It was a real sewing machine!! Then, I opened the "lucky penny" one. It was a kit that shows you how to be a cheer leader. But I didn't find my lucky penny until mom looked at the card. There was a mini stocking on the card. "Why don't you look in the stocking?" she suggested. Sure enough, a penny was in the stocking. And of course, it said on the penny: 1998.
Mel got a gigantic set of Playdoh and a box of Winnie-the-Pooh stuff: books, a music player with it's own discs, and even a small film-maker! Both of us had one gift that had a small box attatched. It was a box of Pop-Its. They look like dandilion seeds without the fuzz. It makes a loud popping sound when you throw it on the ground.
Santa seems like he's been using our snowflake wrappers again. That's what all the gifts are wrapped with. I found my Scotch tape on a present; he's using that too, AND a greeting card from my room!
Merry Christmas!

P.S. Lila and Mo meowed quite a bit this morning. Are they saying "A stranger came into our house last night!" ?

What a wonderful Christmas! While Santa does have a sense of humor, you have it too!
I am sure Santa will be surprised to find how observing you are and be more aware next time.
Santa who visited your place is sure a jolly old fellow with good sense of humor, and I am sure she(oops, I mean he) will be just cheerful to know that you get them all.
Merry Christmas, Ho Ho Ho!
Since I didn't find out until now, I forgot to mention that if you throw the Pop-It's at night, it'll spark like a firecracker once it hits the ground (or are they FC's?).

magical, isnt it. I have to say that Santa is a very understanding person full of whimsical imagination.
