with my mum. My dad was out late at work so we had to do it on our own.

"Do you know your lines for the nativity play?" she asked.
"Well of course, who doesn't? It's been three weeks," I replied.

At school, my friends were whispering about Christmas . Katlin whispered to Lisa about something, then Lisa shouted out, "Amy's getting a mobile phone?"
Amy looked at her really confused. "Huh?"
"LISA!" Katlin screamed.
