Holly sat day after day in her room, going out only into the dinning room to eat. Christmas was approaching. Day after day became more restless, until finally Christmas Eve came. Holly sat on her top bunk, her legs crossed. She held tight in her arms her stuffed kitten. She had been given it when she was little and had treasured it ever since. A tear rolled down her face. After a while it started to get dark and a light snow began to fall. A small Christmas Tree had been delivered earlier, decorated and all. Holly climbed down the latter and plugged it into the outlet. The lights on the tree lit up the entire room. She sat beneath it.
A long while past before Holly got up and turned on the TV. "-are expecting about 2 to 4 inches of snow-" Holly turned the channel. "Yes you're right and speaking of whom, it's almost time for Santa to hitch up his Reindeer-" She switched the channel. "-busy last minute shoppers are hurrying around and some of them are causing trouble. It seems that a man dressed in a black suit snuck up on a lady in the parking lot and held her at gun point saying that she should give him her shopping bags and her purse or he'd shoot her. Luckily she still had her cell phone and she called the police. They have the man in custody at the moment.... Now for some-" Click. "Ho, ho, ho! Get ready for Electromart's After Christmas Sale! Everything in stock is 20-60% off! Hurry in, because it only lasts until December 30! ... *Ding, dong, ding, dong* Do you here the bells? We're ringing them to tell you to hurry in-" Click. "-Santa Tracker is very high tec." Holly settled into the circular chair to watch a woman and a man telling the news. "Yes, every ten minutes we're going to be telling you of Santa's where-abouts on the world," the man said. The woman smiled and then got dead serious. "At about 3:30 this afternoon two people getting out of their car to visit a relative's house were shot. One was killed and the other is in serious condition. Police have 3 suspects in custody." The screen changed to to frames: the scene of the man and woman at their desk and an outdoor scene, where a man stood on a deck covered in snow. The sky was black. "It's starting to get chilly out here, but at least we have clear skies for Santa to make his journey," the man outside said. "In a few minutes I'll show you if our clear skies will last throughout the night." Holly listened to more commercials and more reports until it was time for the Santa Tracker. "Now," the woman inside began and the screen showed a 3-D globe of the world against a black, starry sky. It zoomed in to Canada and showed a mini sleigh with reindeer as the woman said,"Santa is now crossing over Canada. He will soon travel over to Maine and make his way over to the West Coast." They began talking about other things. Holly lived in Wisconsin, but Rose Academy was in Colorado. Holly sighed...
