So we do this every year (for the last 3 years I believe). Basically we all write a TiBB Christmas story, a post at a time. You can write more than one post but at least wait until somebody else has posted.


Now this could get a little confusing if everyone posts at the same time, so maybe leave it about ten minutes after the last post.




It was the night before Christmas, some like to call it Christmas Eve, and it was a cold, bitter night outside. Ammi was stood in her kitchen roasting some chestnuts and brewing some mulled wine, the aroma filled the house with Christmas scent and she knew her children, Shaun and Locke, would be excited by the smell as soon as they returned from their carolling.

She glanced at the clock and saw that it was getting close to 8 o'clock, they would be back soon, and realised she had got so carried away making the treats that she had not yet finished wrapping the last of their presents.

Setting the flames on the hob down low, she quickly rushed up the stairs to find the last presents that she had hidden in the wardrobe of the guest bedroom. Unlocking the door she went in and instantly felt a chill down her spine. She put it down to a draught and made her way to the cupboard. Opening the door she took a step back and gasped a little. There were no presents in there, but not only that, there was a door at the back of the cupboard she had never seen before. She'd lived here for thirty years and never seen this before, and she stood staring at it for a good few minutes trying work out if she was losing her marbles. Finally she plkucked up the courage to realise that she wasn't and that it was really there, so she stepped into the cupboard and put her hand on this strange new door. She opened the door and was amazed to see a snow covered forest. Now she knew she was losing her mind, but curioisty got the better of her so she stepped through...
