Christmas day was my favorite day over the break. I even woke up at nine o' clock! Normally I wake up around seven thirty, so sleeping in was a huge treat for me. I wanted to open my presents, or at least my stocking. However, my dad rushed me to the My grandmother spent the night on Christmas eve, so she was there when I woke up. That was a great surprise! She lives very close, however, so she did not travel very far. We played and then ate "breakfast casserole." It wasn't very good though, because my mother made it. She has trouble cooking, but she can bake extremely well! At about 10 that morning, it was time to open presents. I put on a Santa hat and passed out presents about two at a time. We opened bundles of joy, or presents, until about noon that day. We ate lunch at about three that afternoon. We had a feast of corn casserole, honey baked ham, green bean casserole, and other delicious foods. My boyfriend came over until approximately eleven at night. He gave a speech to my family about how he is grateful for them allowing him to date me. It was a perfect day in every aspect. After he left, my parents admitted to me that they appreciate all of the changes and progress I have made in the previous year. Although I am not a big fan of sentimental moments, I treasured what they said and went to sleep with a whole heart that night. I was anticipating a wonderful new year!
