On my 13th Christmas I was getting done putting cookies on the cookie tray and milk in the milk glass for Santa then, my mom asked me to stay up while my sister went to bed so when my sister went to bed at about eight o’clock my mom asked me a question. She asked if I could go out to the garage and grab the Christmas presents and help her put them under the Christmas tree while my little sister was sleeping upstairs. I was kind of confused because I thought that was Santa's job and not my job.
