'...“Pooka!  Stay awake!”  Elsie nudged him.  “The Sun’s about to rise!  The First Day is about to begin!” 

The cat forced his eyes open and stared at the lightning sky on the horizon.  He thought of Aunt Tilly and Nathan and his grandmother who would soon be arriving at the cottage.  He thought of the ham he knew would be in the oven.  He thought of the catnip mouse and other presents waiting beneath the tree back home. 

But it was no use.  The Yule Sun rose - and Pooka slept right through it!'
