Holiday Memoir
I sat up in my bed. I rubbed my eyes and look over at the illuminated alarm clock on my bedside table. It read 12:47 PM. I groaned and fell back onto my pillows. I thought about the possible gifts I could find the next morning under a tall evergreen tree. Sometime passed, I thought about everything from the universe and wormholes to new video games and candy. I started to dose off until a loud clattering and banging sounded from the roof. My young eyes lit up like fireworks. I immediately shot out of my bed and threw on the warmest clothes I had. My family was spending this years Christmas at our house in Telluride Colorado, so it was very cold. I crept up the stairs, trying to keep them from creaking. I made my way over to the festively decerated living room. I sat on the couch staring at the warm fireplace. A thought popped into my mind. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water. I rushed towards the fireplace and doused it. I calasped on the couch, satisfied with my quick thinking. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep. The early morning sun shown bright in my eyes. I rolled over trying to keep the bright light from blinding me, but then I realized what day it was. I jumped off the couch and ran towards the fireplace. I stared at the mound of presents under our everegreen tree, trying to imagine what was in each festive box. I was soon joined by the rest of my family. We opened gifts and drank hot chocolate. That Christmas couldn't have been better!
