Days to go before Christmas: 2  Time: 12:44 PM

She crosses her legs after placing the take-out McDonalds spaghetti, some slices of ham, and her homemade salad on the floor and goes to Skype. She smiles when she sees her sister online, and seconds later she is in front of their table, her whole family there, smiling and waving at her.
