Christmas Day – Time with the Family
Why Christmas Day? Why not Family Day? On Christmas of 2008, my cousin Hannah and her husband Charlie came over with their children. The first thing we did was not exchange presents (we had done that already), we played Wii. Joshua, the older of the two boys, hurried to my Wii and turned it on exuberantly. He had wanted to play Mario Kart ever since the last time I saw him. Not wanting him to be disappointed, I agreed to play with him. After one hour flew by hot pot was served; all of us sat down to pray. It wasn’t before long when we began sinking raw food into the boiling soup. Bowl after bowl, I ate like a person who had been fasting for weeks! After Joshua and I were close to feeling bloated, I insisted that we continue to play Wii he could wait no longer. Unfortunately, only having played a few more minutes, they had to leave since it was late. I still enjoyed my Christmas at home with the family even though I didn’t go to somewhere extravagant.
