Dottie curled up on her soft blanket beside the Dressing up Chest and she listened to the whirring of Mum’s sewing machine. Mum was very busy making costumes for the school Nativity play. Pip was going to be a shepherd and Wilf was going to be an angel.
The children had been excited for a very long time. It wasn’t just because they were going to be in the school play it was because they were expecting a very important visitor. Not only were they going to celebrate the birthday of the most important baby king Jesus they told Dottie that Father Christmas would be coming whilst they were asleep to bring presents for them.
This all sounded very exciting but the most important thing on Dottie’s mind as usual was food and she knew that Mum had been doing a lot of cooking lately. Dreaming about all the wonderful food made her tummy rumble and Dottie began to wake up.
She heard Mum call “Dinner time”. Dottie yawned and stretched and thought to herself “I like Christmas time”.
I wonder what Dottie will dream about next time.
