My Christmas was the same for my family wakeup open presents family time. But we usually went to see my grandma on Christmas Eve, We would go inside and meet my cousins and Aunts and Uncles and especially grandparents. But this year we came when my cousins were leaving, this was planned we didn't want to much interaction. This just wasn't the same, no big family over occupying the living room, no complaining not much laughs either. Thinking about this I don't like sitting on the ground or complaining, I like laughs though. Now that I look back, I actually really liked that, and I realized that's what makes Christmas, well Christmas.

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)

I created the more deeper meaning of this object in my story I guess.
