Liam walked into the living room and saw twinkling lights, cookies on a plate, and a half-empty glass of milk. His eyes widened and he smiled.
He just remembered he left the lights on all night.
He was surprised because he forgot it was his birthday.
He was excited because he saw signs that Santa had visited.
He was happy that he could eat all the cookies himself.
Emma woke up to the sound of jingling bells and rushed to her window. She saw fresh snow and tiny boot prints on the roof. Why did Emma run to tell her brother?
She wanted to play a snowball fight.
She thought Santa had come during the night.
She was afraid someone was stuck on the roof.
She remembered she left her shoes outside.
