Dear Diary,

I'm so lonely and bored. I spend all my time thinking about school and what stories I'll be sharing.

Last week, on December 19th, Tori, Lisa, and Dale came over. We exchanged gifts like we do every year. Then Nana, Mom, Sophie, and I took Tori and Lisa shopping. We went to Justice, Claire's, and Target. We also ate at Red Robins. That was it.

Oh, yeah. On December 20th was Nana's birthday. I felt so guilty because I had forgotten!

As last week went by in a boring blur, it was soon December 24th, Christmas Eve. Oh, Sophie was so excited. But, as for me, I just felt sad. Today I realized why.

Yesterday was Christmas Day. It was awesome like always! But, something felt ... off. Wrong. I tried distracting myself with my new toys - but the feeling always returned.

Today was no different than any other day for me. Boring, dull.

But, as I was pacing around in my boredom, I realized something. I miss my dad.

Now, I know what you're thinking! Aly, it had been your decision to stop seeing him in the first place! But ... Christmas was really the only time when my dad would seem like a dad. Every Christmas Eve I would see him. I would see everyone! I guess I just miss that one special day.

Of course I can't admit this to anyone. They would think I was insane or making a huge mistake.

You know, now that I think about it: Dad probably spent Christmas and Christmas Eve alone. Stephanie broke up with him. I really thought that him and her would last, too ...

Well, I've got nothing more to say. Goodbye for now!

Love,

Aly
