He doesn't know about my hard efforts as Santa at all.
I obtained the information about what Christmas presents they want.
I searched and bought them on the internet.
I considered how to receive them without being noticed by my children.
I considered where to hide them and decided to hide them in the closet...
He was not concerned with these things at all.
All of this is for our children.
I don't want to shatter their dreams.
But I wanted him to make some effort to carry out Santa duties.
He comes home at midnight every day.
If he places their presents when he comes home, I don't have to get up at midnight.
But I was worried about him a little because he would make an unanticipated mistake.
My anxiety proved right.
When I came in the living room this morning, I found their presents under the tree.
Christmas is tomorrow!
I hid them again in hurry.
I couldn't stop laughing because my expectation had come true.
There is a Christmas song called "Hasty Santa Claus" in Japan.
In the lyrics, Santa comes before Christmas, ringing the bells.
I think he is just like the Santa in the song.
I hope that he will finish his duty tonight without mistakes!

I really thank you for always giving me advice!
ReplyDeleteYour explanation of the difference of "little" and "bit" was very clear and easy to understand.
I made a same mistake in this sentence:
I don't want to break their dreams.
Before you taught me that this line should be:
I don't want to shatter their dreams.
I will surely remember it this time!
