Ella opening her stocking Ella opening her presents

Ella has had a traditional Christmas: opening her stocking in bed, unwrapping presents in her pyjamas and eating an enormous lunch that, in Ella's case, consisted mainly of ice cream. Having told every Santa in sight for several weeks that she wanted "a trampoline", she was very pleased when one duly appeared. As well as bouncing "up to the ceiling", she uses it as a play area. Among many other gifts, Ella received a wooden train set, some Lego, and lots of cooking equipment, including an electric mixer and a chef's hat. Her holiday pastimes have included cooking (both real and pretend), going to a Nativity play at Jenny's church and playing the organ, going to the pub for lunch, playing the Monsters Inc. computer game, and visiting the new musical instruments display at the Horniman Museum.
