December Challenge - "An unexpected gift from a secret Santa arrived."

A package adds a grisly twist to Christmas

An unexpected gift arrives at the Morisson's and a little witch, named Asha, is ready to solve the mystery. Then, her little brother, Norman, tangles along and helps Asha throughout their fascinating adventures. Would you be interested in contributing in the exciting story of Asha and Norman by reading it?

An unexpected gift from a secret Santa arrived. My hands shook with a light tremor as I unravelled the satin ribbon and opened the box. There it was. Lying on a white cotton kerchief, the very knife I used to stab a certain Mr. Victor Carroway. 

A seven-year-old fumed as she saw the gift sitting on her bed, and ruthlessly kicked Santa out of her room. Why? Obviously I am going to leave you hanging so you’ll read and find out. Featuring an angry child, a lame Santa and a Rudolf.

An unexpected gift from a secret santa had arrived, and only one person knew how it had gotten there. It was the weekend before Christmas and as usual the family tradition was that everyone gathered in the home of George and Hettie Ivory. Sons, daughter, grandchildren, cousins and sometimes the next door neighbour with their seven children. Hettie would spend the three days before preparing hams, checking her home made pickles and producing several trifles. Some contained Sherry for the adults and a less alcoholic one for the kids, although they never forgot the year when she had helped herself to a sherry while cooking got the trifles mixed up and the kids ended up slightly tipsy.

The tradition was that everyone had to arrive at twelve noon, and all had to bring food for the buffet. Normally it was the neighbours that arrived first. They always made a cake and provided the sausage rolls.

An unexpected gift from a secret Santa had arrived. It’s time to spread your wings and fly. Oh what a joy to be free. With joy in our hearts, we’ll chase the dreams that thrive. Santa can you hear me, I have only one wish this year.
