Christmas Day
By Jimmy Pugh
One early evening Nate got up out of bed and grabbed his ps5 controller that was decorated with Christmas stickers. Then he smelled bacon and eggs so he went down stairs and saw his older brother Jackson cooking! He asked “How did you make this?”
He replied with, “It's easy when you get older,” Nate said.
“But I'm only 8 and it's almost Christmas!”
Then their Dad came down and said, “What's all the yelling for?”
Nate said. "Jackson's cooking!”
Dad said, “Oh you finally learned how to cook.” Jackson said, “Yeah, have some bacon.” Then they ate. After breakfast Nate went up stairs and played a racing game. Then he fell asleep somehow. Then he woke up and it was almost bed time! So he got up and got dinner, then after dinner he started to play his game. Then it was bedtime so he put his controller back and fell asleep. Then the next morning he woke up and it was Christmas Eve!
