The Busy Christmas

It all started on December 25th, When I woke up on Christmas morning and I look outside the door and it is snowing, I had hoped for snow all year, but finally it had come on the special day of Christmas.

8:45AM. My little sister woke me up and we both decided to wake up everyone in the house and got everyone to the presents, previously two days before on my birthday I had gotten a sled that had a wheel to move it around and snowboarding googles, anyway back to the story. We opened gifts and everyone was fortuitous, after some time we noticed once again that it was snowing and My father and my two sisters put on our snow gear and grabbed the sleds, we were going to go sledding!

10:00AM. We had arrived at Ocean Park Track-and-field to go sledding and temperatures kept dropping and at the time it was already –5' Celsius. Just then I had not recalled to bring snow pants and already 5 minutes in I was covered head to toe in snow and we were all unheated so my father attempted to warm up the car and by that point the temperatures outside was already –7'C and all the car seats were dipped in water from our clothing and my fingers were all red we stopped at the drive-through window to reach some hot-chocolate with whipped cream it was scrumptious.

Further in time, I had to warm up under some blankets because of how frigid I had been because of the forgetfulness I had only thin jeans on and no gloves and so I directly opened the weather app and once again the weather had dropped to –9 degrees, that is some wintry weather!

30 minutes later after I had warmed up, I decided to finally put on a coat and a hat and obviously not forgetting to put on gloves and some snow pants and me and my siblings headed out into our backyard and created a snowman and teamed up the groups included Ivan and I and Vanessa and Victoria and made shelters and forts out of snow and hit each other with snowballs and made even more snowmen, by the time we had finished it had become a snowman army, all of which had either rocks for noses or dented snow.

We spent a long time outside, so now it was time to go on a ride! Our mother pushed me and Victoria along-side the street but do not worry we watched out for cars and besides there was not much because of the snow not many cars were out because no one wanted to drive in the snow, but one thing I had noticed is lots of people walking dogs, more than usual at least but one thing I know is that dogs love snow.

Speaking of dogs loving snow, Once I was done going on a sledding ride me and my dog raced each other in the backyard my dog Troy, is a tough competitor! I was still super energetic, so I decided to go on a walk with troy up and down the street, with my parents' permission of course but the said to be incredibly careful as Troy was even more energetic than me. So, I headed inside to grab the leash and he was overly excited to be going on a walk since we only walk him around our large backyard as he gets too wild on walks as there are a lot of distractions. I popped the leash on Troy, and we hit the road, firstly he was very calm and well-mannered after until.... he saw a cat he SPRINTED towards the cat using 110% of his speed sending me flying, and not to mention he made us blot across the road with no precaution which could have gotten us killed, during that moment I was fuming, and I finally understood why no one took him out on the street to walk him, because he was a cold case.

When I reached home, I relaxed and watched some Tv for a short while and my mother called my siblings' and I to make a gingerbread town from one of those kits at the store, at first, I was overly excited but that was until the millionth time of the gingerbread falling apart over and over again, and this wasn't just a me problem this was happening for everyone and eventually It stayed still! And I VERY carefully placed gumdrops and teeny-tiny decorations and placed my house in my room.

Later that same evening, I had returned to my bedroom only to find my Gingerbread house folded over each other gingerbread and that made me upset and my hard work because I had spent at least 30 minutes on decorating and building it only to fall over, Oh well It had to happen sometime and I just ate it and some candy left over it was d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! And made me go wild and I was so energetic, yet I was not even half done, but I was getting full so to have a break from all that candy.

So, I decided to play "Ballon Volley-ball" A game in which you hit a ballon to the other person and the first person to drop it loses and we played our game with the left over ballons from my birthday and my team won 1-0.

After that we finished the day off having Christmas dinner which we had some Mashed potatoes together with some steak, gravy and bread stuffing it was very scrumptious and made my belly full.

Past After My mother, Father and I went to the tree place, but not to look for trees but to visit the Christmas attractions they had set up with an outdoor movie playing famous X-mas Movies near the outdoor movie place there was a snowman that sings and dances (this was my favourite part!) and they also offered some green and lemon tea!

When we were on the way home, we looked at some Christmas lights and decorations hanged on each of the houses, this would be my most memorable Christmas and hopefully This Christmas has an even better story.

Merry Christmas !
