It was Christmas Eve and the snow was just starting to fall. I was listening to Christmas music when I heard a loud noise. It was my brother, Tom. He had broken a chair. When things went back to normal, I heard a louder noise. I went to my brother’s room again, to tell him that we needed the chairs, but Tom wasn't there. The only thing that I could see was a giant hole in the wall. I told my mum to come and see if I was seeing right! When she came, she started screaming. She took her phone and tried to call the police, but on the phone, she could only hear a ''bip-bip-bip-bip-bip..''.
We got out of the house and then we realised that the whole city had a power cut. My mum and I were so afraid that we went back in the house and locked the doors.
“We have to do something!'' she said. Then I remembered that dad had an old phone that cops used to talk to each other. I went to get it. When we turned it on, we heard a lot of people talking together… It was a chaos! Suddenly, we heard a man trying to talk to us. He asked what he could do for us. When we explained what had happened, he asked us another question ''Ok, but don’t you understand that all the city is flying and going to a big green thing?'' he said.
''No!!!'' ,
''You silly people'' he said. ''Tell me if you have lit a fire in the fireplace?”
.We said, “yes”.
“'That's why! You have to know that we are not humans but we are Santa's elves. But you, you mum and your brother had lit a fire in the fireplace before it was the time to light it! And now, you have become humans''.
At first we didn't believe him. ''Go and turn on the lights on your Christmas tree, and then you wil become elves again''.
''What about my brother''. I said.
''Your brother did not believe in Christmas. That’s why he is not in the house. He is helping Santa to deliver the presents to the children all around the Globe. Now, turn on the lights of your Christmas tree'', he said.
The last thing That I remember is me waking up in my brother’s room
