María's POV/Narration
December 25, 1988: 7:00am
Alex: "Mommy! Daddy! Wake up! Wake up! It's Christmas! It's Christmas!", he yelled jumping on the bed.
Michael: "Mmm", he grumbled while putting the covers over his head.
María: "Well, Merry Christmas Alex", I chuckled and sat up.
Alex: "Oh yeah, Merry Christmas", he said smiling and sat on the bed.
María: "Now, would you like to help me make breakfast? Let's let Daddy sleep", I whispered.
Alexander: "Okay", he whispered.
So I got up and carried Alex. We headed to the kitchen and I set him down. Just then the door bell rang.
*ding dong*
María: "I'll get that. Wait here Alex", I said as I walked towards the door.
Alex: "Okay", he smiled and opened up the cookbook.
As I opened the door, I saw my brother Alexander was standing there holding 4 presents.
Alexander(Brother): "Hey! Merry Christmas!", he said as he came in and set the presents down and hugged me.
María: "Alex! Merry Christmas!", I said hugging him. "How you been?"
Alexander(Brother): "Good. Good. So, where's Michael?"
María: "He's asleep"
Alexander(Brother): "Ah, too much partying I see. I saw he had a few drinks last night", he chuckled.
María: "Yeah, he'll be up soon.... I'm going to go get Michelle", I said walking upstairs.

Alexander's POV/Narration (María's brother)
Alex: "Uncle!", he yelled running towards me.
Alexander(Brother): "Alex!", I said as I picked him up and spun him around. "What's up buddy?"
Alex: "Nothing. Merry Christmas", he smiled.
Alexander(Brother): "Haha, Merry Christmas", I chuckled. I set him down and he ran to the dining room table. I picked up the presents and set them underneath the tree. I then walked to the table to see Alex drawing something, as usual. "Whatcha drawing there buddy?", I said as I sat in the seat next to him.
Alex: "A picture of all of us; you, me, Michelle, Mommy, and Daddy", he smiled.
Just then María came downstairs with Michelle all dressed.
Alexander(Brother): "Hey María", I said going up to her. "How about you go get ready and I'll get Alex ready", I said as I took Michelle from her.
María: "Umm.. Alright", she said as she walked to her room.
I sat Michelle on the couch and turned on the TV and I took Alex upstairs to get him ready. 30 minutes later, I came downstairs with Alex all dressed and set him on the couch next to Michelle.

María's POV/Narration
As I came out the bathroom all dressed in black jeans and a blue collar shirt. I saw Michael had just gotten up.
María: "Well, good morning sleepy head. Merry Christmas", I chuckled as I walked over to his side of the bed and sat at the edge.
Michael: "Heh heh. Merry Christmas", he said in a sleepy voice.
María: "You feeling okay?"
Michael: "Yeah, my head just hurts a little"
María: "You want to sleep for another 30 minutes?"
Michael: "Alright", he said as he turned to his side and closed his eyes.
I walked out the room, closing the door, and then Michelle came running towards me.
Michelle: "Mommy? Is Daddy okay?"
María: "Yes, he's fine Michelle", I said as I picked her up. "He's just not feeling to good, that's all. He'll feel better"
We walked back to where Alexander and Alex were and sat on the couch until Michael got up.
Alexander: "Is Michael alright?"
María: "Yeah, he's just not feeling to good"
Alexander: "To many drinks I see", he chuckled.
María: "I guess", I chuckled and rolled my eyes.
Alexander: "I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding", he laughed.
María: "I know", I smiled.
Alex: "Mommy? What are we doing today?"
María: "We'll see Alex. Let's wait until Daddy gets up, alright?"
Alex: "Okay", he smiled and turned back to watching TV.
