Christmas Story

by Margaret Kelbrat

My brother will decorate the house outside with the red and green Christmas lights. My cat Bucky will play with the balls on the Christmas tree.  

This will be the first Christmas with my dog Taffy for our family. Taffy will steal all our Christmas treats. My mother is doing all the baking of the cookies and cake. My sister will help cook the yummy turkey dinner. I will help by washing the dishes. On Christmas day I will go to church and then open my Christmas presents.  Merry Christmas!
