PUTTING up the decorations, snow, being with family and, of course, presents - these are just some of the images Christmas conjures up for our 7-Up children. We have been following their progress since they were seven four years ago.

Now one tells OF her festive dream.

Say Christmas to 11-year-old Phoebe White and she thinks of "walking down the street with my mum, buying presents for everyone, with Christmas music going on in the background.

"And Christmas Day, when my cousins and grandparents come over, and we have to make the table bigger so we can all get around.

"Thinking about other people and putting money in charity boxes."

Phoebe, who lives with her family in Brynhyfryd Road, Newport, enjoys following traditional routines at this special time of the year.

"On Christmas Eve we stay up late and watch a film, and then I wake up quite early, at about 5am, and wake my sister up and open my stocking up."
