I could barely sleep the night before Christmas. Emmy was snoring next to me but I had tried my best to stay awake just in case Santa came up to my room! I gave him a long list- but not too long- I asked for a pony, some new headbands, and a new bicycle. Mom said that was way too much to ask, but even if I get one, that would be okay. I jumped out of bed and shook Emmy awake, she was such a sleepyhead. We ran downstairs to see the Christmas tree surrounded by four gifts. I had given one to Emmy and she gave one to me. And our parents had given both of us one. I opened my gifts to find some new headbands from my parents and a toy pony from my sister Emmy. This was the best Christmas ever!
What three things did the writer ask for and what did she get?
Why is it important not to ask too much for Christmas?
How many gifts did Emmy receive and from who?
She asked for a pony, some new headbands, and a new bicycle, she got some new headbands and a toy pony .
It’s unlikely to get everything you ask for so it’s important to separate your needs and wants .
She received two, one from her parents and one from her sister, Emmy.
