As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be sent, and rooms to be cleaned. Parents are 1 with difficult jobs of hiding presents from 2 young children. If the gifts are large, this is sometimes a real 3 . On Christmas Eve, young children find the 4 almost unbearable. They are torn between the wish to 5 up late so that they Mil not miss the fun. The wish for gifts usually proves stronger. But though children go to bed early, they often lie 6 in bed for a long time, hoping to get a short 7 at Father Christmas.

　　Last Christmas, my wife and I 8 managed to hide a few large presents in the store room I 9 the moment when my son, Jimmy, would ask me where the new bike had come from, but 10 he did not see it.

　　On Christmas Eve, it took the children hours to go to deep. It must have been nearly 11 when my wife and I went quietly into their room and began 12 stockings. Then I 13 in the bike for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree. We know we would not get much 14 that night, for the children were sure to get up early. At about five o'clock the next morning, we were 15 by loud sounds coming from the children's room--they shouted excitedly! 16 I had time to get out of bed, Jimmy came 17 into our bedroom on his new bike and his sister, Mary, 18 close behind, pushing her new baby carriage. Even the baby arrived, he moved on the 19 and knees into the room dragging a large balloon behind him. Suddenly it burst. That woke us up 20 . The day had really begun with a bang.
