2. N8 Auntie Sally goes into the clothes shop too and looks at the
hat department.

N9 Alex goes into the bookshop and looks at the pencil cases.

colour pink so i will buy this one.
N11 Hannah goes to the sports shop and looks at the footballs.
Hannah I will get Alex a new football he is always playing with dad in
the park on Saturday mornings.
N12 The family go home and wrap their presents and then on
Christmas morning they all go down and sit on the sofa to open them up in
turn, but oh dear no one seems to be very happy..................................
N13 Grandad is the first to open his present.
Grandad Ooooohhhh, a scarf, but i have already got one!
Grandma Hmmmm, perfume, i dont really like the smell of this one its
too flowery.
Dad Oh not another jumper, i havent worn the one you gave me last
chrismas yet!
Mum Gloves! I think i have enough already.
Auntie Sally An umbrella – how original, i will add it to my collection.
Uncle Paul Another woolly hat – you know i think i look silly in hats and
dont wear them.
Hannah A pink pencil case – i prefer red now you know.
Alex Another football, when i already have at least three.

3. N14 so it looks as though everyone is very disappointed and it will
be a sad christmas but suddenly grandma had a brillian idea.
Grandma I know why dont we swop presents! I dont like this perfume
but i could do with a nice pair of glaves.
Mum What a great idea, I dont need the gloves but i would like some
fresh perfume thankyou.
Grandad well in that case if i swop with dad and have his jumper which i
like he could have my scarf i know he was wanting one.
Dad Great thats much better and its nice and long.
Uncle paul Well i would like a football to play with my mates on a Saturday
and keep fit so would you like this hat Alex.
Alex Why not i get a cold head going to school in the morning
thanks.
Hannah Well that leaves me and you Auntie sally, i know you are a busy
teacher and so may need a good pencil case and i certainly would like to
have a new umbrella.
N15 So thats what they did and so everyone was happy and the
motto of this christmas tale is if you are not pleased with your present at
christmas why dont you do like grandma and suggest you..........
All cast Swop presents.......
