I'm Alisha, just in case you didn't know, because it doesn't say in my user name :slight_smile:
This is a little lame, but it's my best shot, so here goes:
'Go to bed darling, it's getting late.' Alisha told Laroleigh, as Christmas eve grew deeper.
'But mother, I want to wait up and see Santa Claus.' Loraleigh replied as she looked at her new owner lovingly.
' Don't you know..' Alisha began. 'that Santa only comes when everyone in the house is asleep?'
'Really? Does he? Oh okay then Mum.' Loraleigh agreed as she slumped up the stairs of her marahome, taking one last glance at the mince pie and milk which she has previously prepared. 'They will still be there in the morning.' She muttered under her breath as she got tucked up in bed.

'Loraleigh, what do you think you're doing? Get back to bed now!' Alisha interrupted.
'But mum I have something important t-' She started again.
'No if's no but's, what if Santa had been here?' Her mother interrupted a second time.
'Mum just LISTEN! Santa wouldn't have been here because you're still awake, and you told me that Santa only comes when everyone in the house is asleep.' Loraleigh explained. Alisha was silenced upon being outsmarted. 'So mum, Santa comes down the chimney, and delivers the presents, and eats the milk and minced pies, right?' Her mother nodded. 'But we don't have a chimney! Santa is never going to com
