CHRISTMAS WISHES (1,900 words) A family are sending their Christmas wishes to Santa by sending notes up the chimney. The young girl of the family feels that something is wrong but because she doesn't quite know what, she keeps quiet. She, and her brothers, and her Dad, send their notes up the chimney. How were any of them supposed to know what was about to happen, and how lucky it was that they were a pencil short so that Mum hadn't written her note yet? © Sarah Thiel
