Mara was going to show Jerome that Christmas was the best holiday ever; she was going to go out and find the best Christmas present ever.
She must have gone into fifty different shops before she found a small little shop that seemed perfect.
She went in and the shop bell rang but she didn't see anyone else in the shop.
She decided to look around for anything Christmassy when she saw Christmas cards and one really stood out. On the front it said BAH HUMBUG and in the inside it said don't be a Scrooge have a Merry Christmas you miserable Christmas Grinch. Mara thought the card was funny because it was like this card was made for Jerome but she still needed to find the perfect present.
She walked around the shop until she saw snow globes, she walked over and picked up the nicest one she saw, she shook it and looked inside and she saw a little town and it looked so beautiful when the snow whirled around in the snow globe, Mara then noticed something else in the globe as if by magic writing appeared in the snow globe that said Make A Christmas Wish Mara smiled she thought this would be a perfected gift for Jerome.
She was so fascinated by how the words just appeared from nowhere that she didn't hear someone came up from behind her.
"Are you buying that?" A voice said from behind her. Mara jumped at the sound of the voice.
"Oh y-yes, yes I am" She stuttered at the tall man who stood in front of her.
"Would you like it gift wrapped? no extra charge seeing as it's almost Christmas"
"Oh yes, thank you" Mara said.
"You're welcome, it's a good choice"
"What?" Mara asked.
"The snow globe, it's a good choice"
"Thank you" Mara said cheerfully.
"Is it for someone special?" The man asked.
"Well sort of, it's for someone who doesn't have any Christmas spirit"
"Well give this to your friend and I'm sure they will find their spirit, everyone has Christmas spirit but some people just lose it."
The man placed the snow globe in a small box and wrapped it in a very nice wrapping paper; he then leaned over the counter and whispered to Mara.
"This is a very special snow globe it is not like any other. If you shake this globe and look into it then make a wish it will come true but you have to believe in its Christmas magic. The man whispered as he handed the box over to Mara "Take good care of it."
"I will thank you…" Mara began but did not know his name
"Kris you can call me Kris"
"Thank you Kris" Mara smiled as she gave the money for the globe to him. As she turned to walk out the shop she realised that she hadn't paid for the Christmas card. Mara turned back but Kris wasn't there.
"Kris I forgot to pay for the card" she shouted but no one came
Mara didn't want to steal the card so she put a pound on the counter and left the shop. As she did that she thought about how happy Jerome will be when she gives him the snow globe.
