Mrs Dignam loved the descriptions in Liam's Christmas story. She decided everyone should read it. Well done Liam.
A Christmas Tale by Liam Breen
It was a lovely white Christmas morning. My dad was after making a cosy, warm fire. I loved the way the embers flew up so lively like a kid on a holiday. The crackle from the wood made a sound that said it was Christmas. My favourite time of year had come.
It was then, while I dived into a big present, that the phone rang. "Hello. This is James". It was my uncle Jamesy. The man who makes Christmas special. I could hear the phone line breaking up . Then we lost connection. I rang again. "Hi Jamesy. Can't wait to see you". "Pass me on to your mom, okay?" "Diane, can I talk to you?"."Sure". I won't be home this Christmas". "Wh... wh... what do you mean?" "Listen. I'm out in the middle of nowhere and my car gave up"."What shall I tell Liam?" "I don't know". I opened a small rectangular present. It was a PSP game!! How happu I was. It was great. "When's Jamesy coming home?" I asked mom half interested. "Wait there's still one more present". But before I opened it I read the card, From Jamesy. I knew mom you not be pleased if I opened it without Jamesy being there. I retreated away from the present.
I wolfed down my juicy turkey and stared out the window. My mom put her arm around me and said "Jamesy won't be here this Christmas". "Why, what happened?" Mom explained. I stormed upstairs and laid on my bed. I wished I could have my uncle James home. I slept for 3 hours and woke up and walked outside. It was Santa. He had my uncle Jamesy in his sleigh. It was a miracle!
