12/20-12/24 December Plans

During the month of December my family does many things. My birthday is December seventh so we usually celebrate that first . . . obviously. Usually like the day after that we go and pick out a nice Christmas tree.  I always did like that nice pine smell. It takes me back. Soon after the youngest in the family would decorate the tree while the rest of the family messes with him or her. I am so glad I am not the youngest child in the family any longer. After that the family shops for each other in secret. We’re ninja’s, if you haven’t noticed, so we are very sneaky. Pretty much we all try to hide our presents from each other. We all end up failing at that except for my parents. To this day I do not know how they hide those presents. For the life of me I cannot figure out how they manage to hide all those presents without any of us little children finding them. It is truly ridiculous. When it gets closer and closer to Christmas we start breaking out the eggnog. God that stuff is good. It used to be on Christmas Eve I had to go to bed. This is mostly because I’m the youngest and I have to preserve my innocence or something like that. But now that we have a child in the family younger than I am, I can actually help with the deceiving process. You know . . . where you write the nose to Santa and set the presents around the tree. I hope I get to eat the cookies because the cookies my step mom makes are amazing! But I really can’t wait to see every open their presents from me. I really hope they like them because I really had no idea what to get anyone this year.
