My Christmas Morning

Hello future readers,

I hope you are all having a really far out Christmas. I know I am. Last night, before I went to bed, my mom gave me my "Waiting for Santa" present. This year, it was a little toy Christmas dog. I named him Peppermint, because of the peppermint candies on his ears and paws. I think Boomer is jealous. He saw how much I liked the toy dog, and went to the corner and sulked. Silly pooch!

When I woke up, I took the candy out of my stocking, and ran to get my mom so we could open presents. I got her a new mug for her tea, a potholder I made in Art class, and a card. She really loved them. There were so many presents for me, I didn't know which one to open first! The first one I opened were 2 boxes taped together. I opened them, and there was a View Master, and a case with extra picture reels! Right on! The next box I opened had the radio I wanted in it! All right!

The next present had not one, but THREE pairs of groovy pants in it! My favorite pair are the purple ones. They're corduroy and are super soft! I also got a new denim purse with a happy face on it! Dynamite!

After we opened our presents, (and cleaned up all that wrapping paper!), my mom made chocolate chip banana pancakes, and we sat in the living room with our TV trays and watched Christmas movies.

 Later today, we're going over to Kim's house to have Christmas dinner with her and her family. I can't wait to see what she got for Christmas! I wonder if it's as groovy as the stuff that I got? I hope Christmas in the future isn't just another day. I hope it's a day of fun and food and super cool presents!

Merry Christmas, future readers,
Your friend,
