On Christmas day, Emma and her brother, Chris, woke up and went down to the first floor where the Christmas tree was. There were lots of presents under the tree. The presents were from Santa, their relatives, and their father and mother. Since these were for two people, there were inevitably a lot of them. They were delighted to see so many presents. Their happy voices were heard and their parents and dog came over. The smell of the candles, treats they made together, and the smell of winter mixed together to create a happy space.
