Lesson 39 A merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
In a few days' time it will be Christmas Day. Sandy and Sue are so excited that they can hardly wait. They broke up on December 17th and since then they've been helping mother. Yesterday they decorated the living-room. Last night they went to Regent Street with Gretel to see the decorations. Mrs Clark has already bought all her presents and sent all her cards. She has made a large pudding and ordered a turkey for Christmas Day. Tonight Sandy and Sue are going to sing carols with their friends so that they may collect money for charity and Gretel is going to join them. On Christmas Day the family will exchange presents. Of course, Sandy snd Sue don't believe in Father Christmas any more, but they still hang up stockings beside their beds so that their parents will fill them with presents! The days are dark and short, but everyone is cheerful."Christmas is coming!" they say. |
