ONE morning Kate woke up and found that her mum was in a total rush "What's up mum?" Kate asked, puzzled.

"Kate haven't you realised it's the Crimbo party tonight?" her mum replied. "Yeah so" Kate was really confused now. "So, we've got nothing up at all, would you do me a favour and put up the tree and decorate it? OK, thanks its in the living room. I'll go and put up the lights outside.

Now, Kate was only 9 years old, so this was a big job for her. But she did it anyway. That night everybody had a great time, but Kate didn't know what lay ahead for her.....

That night Kate was tossing and turning (well, you would if it was Christmas eve) and then when she finally did get to sleep... She had a nightmare and woke up screaming.

Kate looked at the clock it was midnight, exactly. Suddenly Kate spied a crack of light coming from her wardrobe, she slowly and quietly walked towards it. She opened the door, but instead of her clothes she found a tunnel glowing golden, she stepped inside, immediately she felt a tingling sensation all over her. Kate walked and walked for what seemed like hours, around corners and dead ends, when at last she came to a golden door, she walked in and there was Santa. "Kate how did you get here? Never mind I've got something for you." And he gave her a gold ring. The next morning Kate woke up thinking it was all a dream but the ring was still on her finger........

The End.
