Journal of Experiences: A moment in our lives

December 24, 2010

Dear friend,

Today I woke up early and very happy, as well as the sunny, cloudless day and the bright sun. Today is Christmas eve, my family is all together for dinner, the gifts hidden in the tree, the bells ringing in the church near my house, the wonderful smell of food and the movement in the streets, everyone was to celebrate the coming of Christmas. Christmas which is the birth of Jesus. Dinner preparations began with spectacular recipes. My breakfast was French toast with Coke, something I only do for Christmas.

At Christmas, I always relive good feelings, from the sensations to the smells and tastes that are unique and experienced only once a year. Every Christmas day has its own magic, friends preparing the hidden friend's play to exchange gifts, family preparing for dinner, neighbors meeting and greeting at church. I can't forget that Santa will pass soon, making the children happy, with many gifts and much sympathy that only the good old man offers.

Seeing my little cousins, I remember when I was eight, I put my letter in the window with about five orders, because my mother said it couldn't be too expensive because Santa was poor. I still remember that an order was a remote control car that I really wanted. On the morning of Christmas Eve, Santa took my letter, it was a mixture of joy and anxiety, I was already wondering what color the car would be and how I would play with it.

With these memories, I spent the afternoon with my cousins playing. I love children. I came to the room to get some clothes and take a shower. I took the opportunity to write the emotion that is being my day and these wonderful memories. Now I have to end my conversation with you because they are already calling me to help set the dinner table. A big hug and merry Christmas to you, my dear diary.
