As you can imagine, this made such a clatter that William woke up in an instant.

“W…wh…what’s going…on?” he said through a yawn, rubbing his sleepy eyes open.

As the room came into focus, William saw a large polka-dotted present sitting beyond the foot of his bed, hand-tied with a red ribbon. But the ribbon had come undone. His eyes followed the loose ribbon along the floor until it reached a large, scaly foot. The ribbon was caught around the Christmasaurus’s claw, all tangled in knots! Before William could blink, before he could scream, before he could think, before he could even do anything whatsoever, the Christmasaurus bolted out of the room at a hundred miles an hour, dragging the present behind him. William scrambled out of bed and into his waiting wheelchair and chased after them!

The Christmasaurus burst into the small, cozy living room just in time to see Santa’s big black boots disappear magically up the chimney. He roared a panicked roar and dived toward the fireplace, trampling presents and tripping over the miniature Christmas tree in the process, sending decorations flying through the air and scattering across the floor! But that didn’t stop the Christmasaurus. He crawled into the fireplace and looked up the chimney, which now seemed far too small for even an elf to get through! He tried desperately to jump, climb, and claw his way up, but it was no use. Santa’s magic had worn off, and the chimney flue had deflated back to its normal size.

Then came the worst noise of all. The clopping of hooves, accompanied by soft Christmas music, echoed down the chimney and then all of a sudden seemed to disappear completely. The Christmasaurus let out a howl-like roar up the chimney into the sky above—but it was too late.

Santa had gone.

The Christmasaurus had been left behind.

It was at that moment that a bright, round light switched on like a spotlight. It was a shaky, wobbly light. It was coming from a flashlight in William’s nervous hands as he sat in his wheelchair at the doorway, looking at a dinosaur in his home.
