A Christmas Story
On the Sunday before Christmas my Mom and Dad took my young brother and me into town to see the Christmas lights and the Switzer's windows.
We were looking at the windows when Mom realised that my little brother was missing. Mom stayed with me holding my hand while Dad started looking for Daire. Mom was very upset and wanted Dad to go to the police. Suddenly we heard people laughing at the window beside us. Dad went to have a look and who was inside the window but Daire. The window scene was Daire sitting on Santa's head trying to push the plump, jolly figure down the chimney. It was very funny and everybody was laughing except Mom. She was very embarrassed. Dad had to bribe Daire with chocolates to get him down out of the window.
