The Princess

Someone apparently saw a flash of red outside, and now Sabina sits at the window, nose pressed to the glass, in the hope to see Santa. Then on the other side of the house there is a knock on the door. "Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas". The door slams shut.

Sabina runs the length of the house. There's no Santa, but on the patio there is a huge sack full of presents. Sabina runs outside. It appears that Santa and his sleigh have already gone.
We bring the sack inside, and Sabina opens her first present. It's a blue princess dress with a tiara.

"Wow!", squeals the little girl with glee, eyes sparkling. "This is just what I wanted!" She gazes lovingly in the direction where Santa had left the sack. Of course her Christmas eve dress is dumped by the wayside, and for the rest of the evening we enjoy the presence of this dainty little princess in a blue dress and a tiara.
