Christmas Day

On one Christmas morning my family and I came rushing downstairs and ran straight to the living room. We waited for mom and dad. We couldn’t wait to open presents, yet we didn’t realize it was God’s birthday. Finally mom and dad came downstairs and we opened presents. The next thing we did was go to the kitchen and we had the best cinnamon rolls ever. Then we went outside. Ahhh! The snow was so cold!!! My brother and I went to play football. Of course he won. I never win against him. Then torture comes. The driveway is covered with 2 feet of snow and our snowblower doesn’t work. We have to shovel all of it and our driveway is huge. It took 6 hours of my day just shoveling snow. Finally I was done but it was six o’clock. No lunch, but dinner was the best ever. We got lobster, chicken and sauces. Then the day was over, sadly, but it was a good day, besides the shoveling.
