Christmas

Christmas Christmas As I slowly awaken from a deep sleep, cool air hits my squinting eyes and I have the feeling that this is not a normal day. I close my eyes again and ponder for less than a spilt second then realize that SANTA CAME LAST NIGHT!!! I throw back the covers, ignoring the cold that would have kept me in bed for hours later on a normal day, and run to the Christmas tree. Without any lights on I quietly examine everything placed under the tree. I notice that Santa had eaten my cookies and drank all my milk. This made me feel as if I had accomplished something more important than world peace; I had fed Santa. All my unwrapped gifts that had appeared only overnight had a special aura surrounding them. Something magical. With a perpetual smile I sit and enjoy the look of the tree and all my new things. I pick up the new stuffed horse first, because horses are my favorite, and rub its soft synthetic brown fur. After I going through all of the good stuff, ignoring the sets of clothe! s and underwear, I traipse back to christmas, santa, tree, everything, things, new, day, view, think, special, something, seven, say, put, out, now, normal, night, nearly, much, little, just, ignoring, feeling, eyes, come, back, about, younger, years, world, without, when, wanted, wal-mart, wake, unwrapped, underwear, under, turn, traipse, toy, time, throw, through, thanking, takes, synthetic, surrounding, stuffed
