Christmas Presence
Annabelle Christiansen
went home for Christmas on
Friday the twelfth of December.
She took ribbons in rows,
shiny paper and bows...
but the presents she didn't remember!
went home for Christmas on
Friday the twelfth of December.
She took ribbons in rows,
shiny paper and bows...
but the presents she didn't remember!
