Terrible Christmas


I will never forget last Christmas, not because it was special, it kind of was, but for sure it was the worst Christmas I've ever had in my life. I still remember it and it makes me mad and jealous.
The party was during dinner, on December 24th, in my cousin's house. I was with my whole family getting ready for a "deliciuos" meal and my "wonderful" presents. What a surprise I got as the evening developed.
First, we had dinner. The food had nothing special, it was just plain good. We had turkey and chicken rice. Since I am the last to finish eating, everyone had to wait for me. When I was done, I went straight to the living room where I found my grandma doing the countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... "Merry Christmas", we all shouted as we ripped our gifts open.
I remember trying to open mine as all my cousins were fiercely openning theirs. They got electronic consoles, games and incredible toys. They didn't get a tiny piece of cloth - I hate getting clothes. So, this was good for them.
For me? Not that great... In fact, awful. The first gift was not that bad, I got a T-shirt. Then came the second one: a mop - I got really mad at my mom! The third one was a pair of jeans... and then I didn't want to open any more gifts.
This will be an unforgettable Christmas for sure, but even though I didn't get nice gifts I was with my cousins and my family.

  1. Thats called bad luck carlos. Very good man, your whole story made sense and I hope you get something better than a mop next time.
