Size Matters at Christmas - 2

Many years ago I lived with an English girl who had a young daughter. One Christmas the daughter had a shock when she discovered an enormous present under the tree from me. As nonchalantly as I could, I asked her which present she would like to open first. In a quivering, excitement overload she threw herself at the huge gift, tearing it open. Opening the box, she revealed a heap of crumpled paper amongst which was another, smaller box. Within that box was a similar scenario, which continued for various minutes, with more paper and boxes until she found a single, lonely lolly.
Needless to say there were daggers coming from both the daughter and my girlfriend. The poor, wee lass learnt a lesson that day: Size is not important.
And that all men are bastards.

For a fun book about Christmas, check out my story, Santa's Night Off. When Santa is sick on Christmas Eve, who is going to deliver the presents? A merry, but mad, Christmas for all the family.
