That Christmas

It was Christmas Eve. I went up to my to write in my journal, that I got for my birthday, and I wrote down what we did for today. Which was going to the mall to get a new lamp for my room. I know its not fun or interesting but still, that what I did today. 

Ding, ding, ding, I heard coming down the hallway. It was getting louder and closer. I covered my eyes and I heard it stopped. I uncovered my hands from my eyes and saw a little, brown chihuahua sitting at my doorway. I look up and saw mistletoe. So I got up and ran over to him and gave him a big kiss on the top of his head. Then he gave me a wet smooch on my cheek.

I looked at my watch to find out that it was 11:30pm. So I decided to go to bed, because I was so tired. I sat in my bed and the silk covers crawled up my body all the way to my neck and I started to doze off. 

All of a sudden, I woke up to the sound of my tree rattling. My favorite ornament decided to fall of my tree and slammed it the ground and broke. I was scared and confused. Is my parents awake? What was happening? I decided to walk out to my living room and found a big man in a red suit standing in front of my tree.
