Christmas Memory

One Christmas morn Alyssa joyfully woke. She ran and tried to wake her father. Her father, replied groggily, and said “Five more minutes. She tried to wait, but she simply couldn’t. Her and her sister devised a plan to find out what they got. They realized that they could unwrap their gifts and then rewrap them.
They put their plan into action. The two unwrapped, opened and rewrapped their gifts. Finally their dad woke up and they went to “unwrap” their gifts. Alyssa was a little worried that her dad would find out. Their game started. They both acted very surprised. Later on her father did find out, but her plan did work.
