I remember this day as if it were yesterday. On christmas morning I woke up, and jumped out of my bed. I could smell the fresh pancakes with bacon, and eggs cooking. I ran to the kitchen, and I yelled as loud as I could, with all my power “GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! IT’S CHRISTMAS!!! PRESENT TIME. YEA BUDDY!” As they looked at me with excitement, my nephew whispered in my ear “Let’s go wake up grandma.” I couldn’t take the weakness as he whispered in my ear, it tickled too much. Way too much. I jumped on my mothers bed and woke her up. I told her “Mommy WAKE UP! WAKE UPPP! IT’S CHRISTMAS!”
She tried rushing out of bed, but she was caught between her blankets. She finally got free of her tangled blanket mess, and she ran to the tree. After I had woke up her up, I went out to the kitchen, and there was my boyfriend. I ran out, and gave him a GIANT hug. I whispered to him “I missed you so much.” As I looked at him, I saw his beautiful smile, and his big brown eyes, that sparkled like the sun. Although he told me I looked beautiful, I thought to myself “But I’m in my pj’s silly goose,” this day was everything I imagined. As it hit 10:00 A.M. I ran to the christmas tree, and started passing out everyone’s present. The night before on Christmas Eve, I had brought my mother and boyfriend something.
I could picture my mother’s face when she opened the present. As I handed her the gift, I made her open it quickly. I was in a rush to see her excitement. I had brought her a Betty Boop collection, oh how she loves her some Betty Boop. I ran to get my camera. As I heard her ripping the wrapping paper, I yelled “WAIT, MOM WAIT. LET ME GET MY CAMERA BE PATIENT.” I ran over to the living room, and took many pictures of her opening her gift. As she finally got the darn wrapping paper off, she let out a HUGE squeak. She started jumping up and down, as if she was a little kid. She saw the robe, and the cups, plates, gloves, hat, scarf, and even her slippers. She was screaming so much, that my ear started to hurt.
As I went over to give my boyfriend his present, he was in denial. He didn’t want the present, just like I didn’t want the present he was going to give to me. He refused to take it, and when he finally did, he saw the “Jordan Bred 13’s” that he wanted. As He opened it, I could see the joy in his eyes. His eyes started getting all watery, he was really happy and so was I. When it was my turn to open the gift, boy oh boy did I give a hard time. As soon as I saw the card, and the box, I was so excited. He went down on one knee and put the promise ring on my ring finger.
He could see the tears rolling down my face, so he wiped them gently. He kissed my lips softly, and we began to watch TV. I started playing with his soft hands, he said it tickled, but I kept playing with them. They were just so soft! When my mother met him, she said and I quote “Oh my gosh, he’s so cute!! He’s my son-in-law already. You guys better last a long time! I’m SERIOUS.” As she said that, we looked at each other and started smiling. We both replied to her saying “Yes, we definitely will.”
We went outside in the snow, and he pushed me onto the floor. He started laughing so I picked up snow and threw it at him. Suddenly, I had started something I didn’t want to. “Oh yea,” he said. I tried running, but he threw me on the floor, and started throwing snow at me. It was so cold! I ran to the stove, and began to make hot chocolate for the two of us. I could just smell, and still taste the wonderful hot choco. Later that night, we began to watch movies, and soon into the first movie “Men in Black 3,” my eyes started to burn, and I was beginning to fall asleep. My head on his chest and his arm wrapped around me. I could hear his heartbeat, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum. Later and later, we both fell sound asleep. My mother walked in, and I woke up. I looked to the right of me, and my boyfriend was still sleeping. I looked back at her and she said “Shh, it’s okay darling, I’m just giving you guys a blanket.” She put the blanket around us gently, I said “Goodnight mommy, very softly,” and fell fast asleep.
