W:1.One Christmas Eve I stayed up really late, waiting up to see Santa Claus.
W:Now I know you're not supposed to sit up and wait, but I had to and that's because:
W:we didn't have a chimney for Santa to climb down, there were locks on all the windows and the doors;
W:I kinda figured Santa would find his way in, but I wanted to be sure.
W:
W:2.It was getting rather cold, but I drifted off to sleep. I awoke much later in the chair;
W:but I wasn't cold at all, someone had tucked me in, and I thought Santa had been here.
W:I had a nice warm balnket wrapped around me, there were presents shining underneath the tree;
W:there were noises on the roof, sounded just like Reindeer's hooves, then I fell right back to sleep.
W:
W:3.The next thing I knew it was time to get up, and my parenets were smiling at me;
W:"Merry Christmas" they said, "We saw you weren't in bed, let's all gather around the tree."
W:Mom looked at the blanket that was wrapped around me, and she said, "I've never seen this here before."
W:I guess Santa gave me his, when he came in to our house, just to be sure I was warm.
W:
W:4.Now every year when the snow begins to fall, and I need an extra blanket for my bed;
W:Mom goes upstairs and gets this special blanket out, and says "Must be Christmas time again."
W:And on Christmas Eve I leave a note for Santa Claus, with some milk and some cookies by the tree;
W:I say "Santa I'm asleep, if you'd like to take a peek, in my bed with your blanket over me."
