when i was about 7 or 8 every christmas eve it took me 4ever to get 2 sleep cos i was so excited and i used 2 lie up 4 ages n wenever i heard my mum or dad i would quickly pretend to b asleep. well one year i couldnt sleep so i was sitting reading a book and i heard sum1 coming up the stairs so i lay down and closed my eyes, then i heard someone with a bag come into my room and i was teriffied! i wanted 2 open my eyes to see if it was santa but i was 2 scared. wen the person left the room i opened my eyes and there was a present on my bed. to this day i dont kno who or what it was in my room that night.
