The Day Before Christmas

The day before Christmas
I found the place
The place where my presents were hidden
I unpacked one
Knew then that I was deep in trouble
So what did I do?
I unpacked them all 
Thinking
How angry can my mother become?
For Christmas I got one present more
And to unpack the rest one more time
I was very young
And got a mother’s smile, too
