There is something wrong. My eyes are open but all I can see is white. There is white falling outside the window. It's snowing. I suddenly remember last night and all those bright sparks falling from his fingers. White sparks like snow. . . It's snowing!
'IT'S SNOWING!' I yell and I sit up in bed.
'Jin-gle bells, jin-gle bells, jin-gle al the way,' sings Dexter the computer, except it does not sound much like singing but I don't like to tell him this.
'Happy Christmas, Dexter! The garden's full of SNOW!' I can't even see where Mrs Next-Door's specially reinforced concrete wall is.
'Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse o-pen sleigh-heh,' Dexter makes it sound about as much fun as eating cabbage. But I don't care-last night I saw Father Christmas.
I hear the noise of the vacuum cleaner singing. It's tuned to a classical radio station-Mum and Dad have opened their Christmas present already! And it works! YIPPEE!!

I like it when it snows, biut it never snows like it did when I was a child. I used to spend all the days when it snowed sledging down Rodborough Common from the fort. Once I was going so fast the sledge collapsed under me.

Thanks, Angus. Lots of old people say that it used to snow ALL winter when they were young.
Rodborough Common looks great-thankyou.

And all things considering, Happy Christmas, Wilf!
Thanks, Susan! I know it's odd being all about Christmas but I wanted to let everyone what my family was like!

That's cool, Wilf. Just let me know when it's time to pack up the tree and if you have any extra pressies on the sly...aha...here's hoping.
Oh Chrsitmas is such a winner. It reminds of childhood. Enjoyable read, as always, Addy/
