Today it's Christmas. Well... I just woke up... So now it's Christmas.
"Mom! Dad! Santa came!" I say, running around my present filled tree like a five year old.
I look in the tree for a present from Santa mouse.
"Hoops!" I slip the solid gold hoops onto my ears.
My cat Cesar, rubs across my left leg, making my black sweatpants look they'd been snowed on.
I look at my tree, which was FILLED with presents... and then at my overflowing stocking.

"Hey Rhia! Happy Christmas!"
"Yeah. I got SO many presents!"
"What did you buy your parents?"
"A lot of stuff. They loved it! What about you, Kat?"
"I bought um... stuff with Alex's money."
"Wow. Mature."
"You shouldn't be talking."
"Hey, you going to the Christmas sleepover tomorrow?"
"Yeah! Of course! It's at my freaking house!"
"Haha... oh right."
"Anyways, I have to deal with Alex, and FaceTime my dad. Bye!"
"Bye! See you tomorrow!" I hang up the phone, letting Kat do what she has to do.

"Guys! What did you get for Christmas?" I say loudly so the people on Skype could hear me talking.
"I got coal..." Chad jokes.
"'I got a rock.'" Ellen quotes "it's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown!"
"Shut up." I laugh, waiting for everyone to join.
"What server can we go on?" Henry whines, being his inpatient self.
"Mineplex." I suggest, finally getting minecraft to load.
"Kay." I hear Kat click on her screen.
"Yay! They updated it to Christmas texture pack!" I squeal.
"They did? OMGASDFGHJKL!" Kav freaks, I hear her jumping from next door... as usual.
"Can we sing a Christmas song?" Ellen suggests in a kid voice.
"Yes!" Sofia says, quietly but excitedly.
"Sleigh bells ring, are you listening," Ellen waits for someone to take over, while she defeats the boss.
"No! I call the song! I choose... jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock!" Henry sings.
We all sing the carol and it gets quiet.
"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" Ellen screams.
"WHAAAAAAT!!" I mock, laughing.
"I died! Obvi!" She sasses, I hear her slamming something.
"Wow, chill." Soph laughs, sounding like she fell off her chair..........
"BUT I WAS ALMOST AT THE CENTER!" Ellen rages.
"Yup. Sky wars isn't fair on Christmas Day." I pretend to cheer her up.
"Shut up." Kat concentrates on getting across Ellen's halfway built bridge to the center.
"Hey Kat-" I say, getting the bow and arrow out of my inventory.
"What?" She questions, not stopping to turn around.
"This!" I bombard her with snowballs, knocking her off the bridge.
"God dammit Rhia. You a-" Kat gets cut off.
"GRASSHOLE!" Kav shouts, laughing hysterically.
"Whatever." She laughs, and we end our skype call.
