The Best Christmas Gifts Ever!

December 29, 2012

The Drive

     "Dad," I whined, "what is it?"

     "If I told you, would it be much of a surprise?" He replied. I didn't reply back.

     Instead, I answered a question with a question, "Can you at least give me a hint?"

     He thought about it, and then gave the quickest answer possible, "No."

     "Fine," I said stubbornly, "I'll ask later."

     Later on, I asked again and I got the same stupid answer.

The Present

     "Dad, why are we at Grandpa Dave's house?" I questioned.

     He sighed and said, "We are here because I want you to open this present first."

     "Is it the one I was asking about in the car?" I blurted.

     "Yes," he said.

     I sighed and yelled dramatically, "FINALLY!"

     When we got inside I immediately started looking for a special looking present. To my surprise, it wasn't hidden at all! The shiny, silver present was sitting on the counter top. I rushed over and asked, "Can I please open it now?"

     "Tear to your heart's content!" declared Hilary, my step mom.

     "Yay!" I screamed delightedly. I ripped the beautiful wrapping paper off of it and opened the box, only to find another smaller box. I opened that box and found another box. I was starting to get frustrated. I opened that box and I finally found the present. IT WAS AN IPOD TOUCH FOURTH GENERATION! I screamed and hugged Hilary and Dad and said thank you about a hundred times at least.

The Christmas Party

     "Knock knock!" said Hilary goofily.

     We heard shuffling and the door opened to reveal my step-aunt Lynn.

     "Welcome!" she exclaimed. Then she came over and gave everybody a warm, perfume-scented hug. When I looked past her, I could see that everybody that intended to come, came. I walked past Lynn and stooped down to pet Molly, the snowy-white Maltese. In return, she gave me a wet, doggy kiss. I laughed and walked over to the table to sit down. Once I was sitting, everybody immediately swarmed me like a swarm of bees. Who could blame them? They hadn't seen me since Thanks Giving!

     "How are you?" asked Grandma Hahn kindly.

     I looked at her and replied, "I'm fine, how are you?"

     "Excellent," she declared.

     "Who's ready to eat?" Lynn shouted, "I made chicken!"

     After everybody ate, Lynn declared, "Present time!"
     I ended up getting everything I need for my iPod, pink, sparkly headphones, a blue, rainbow polka-dotted case, iTunes gift cards, and pink texting gloves.
