The Magical Christmas Cracker



The Magical Christmas Cracker



Alec and Tracey gathered around the tree on Christmas morning. The tree was small with multiple gold baubles some broken and some cracked. They had homemade popcorn tinsel hanging on the branches.
Alec had a gray hoodie and old jeans, and Tracey had Griffin PJ's.
They woke up at 7:25 and woke up their parents by shaking them awake carefully.
They all walked to the living room and sat under the tree. There was only one present under the tree. A red and gold Christmas Cracker with a platinum ribbon tied to the side. Alec and Tracey picked up the Cracker and Tracey said . “ 3, 2, 1” They pulled hard on each end of the cracker and… two paper hats fell out. One red and one pale purple.
Alec smiled and said “Thank you so much mother and father dear.”
“Which one do you want Alec?” Tracey asked.
“ I will have the red one.” He says laughing happily.
For the rest of Christmas morning Tracey and Alec played Kings and Queens of Magic land.
Skipping around the kitchen like fairies dancing in the wind.
Then at seven o'clock they called their parents into the kitchen.
“The paper hats are wonderful Mother and Father dears.” Alec said
“But we need to give you your present?” Tracey finished.
“As we have no money, We are going to knight you the fairy king and queen of Magic land!”
Their parents laughed as Tracey pulled out a stick from their small backyard.
“ I hereby dub thee.” Tracey started.

“The king and Queen of Magic land!” Alec said.

“Do you promise to always protect the land and its citizens?” Tracey asked.

Mother and Father looked at each other.

“We promise.”
