COVID-19 Christmas
Description (Dublin Core)
December 24, 2020. The long, terrible year is slowly, but surely, coming to an end. Nobody was excited for Christmas. My family of five had zero Christmas spirit. Nothing. My 17 year old sister, named Ashley, and my 16 year old brother, named Max, slept in until about noon. I got my day started early when I randomly opened my tired eyes around 8 A.M. It was definitely early considering the fact that I had gone to sleep at 2 A.M. the past night. I went downstairs, greeted my Pitbull and Boxer. Rowdy-girl, the not so scary pitbull, was very mellow. However my puppy Boxer Archer loves jumping on me. We had just adopted him a week before. He was a young dog however definitely not a super smart one. Something special about my family is that we celebrate Christmas mostly on Christmas Eve, leaving present-opening for Christmas Day. Although we usually would begin cooking traditional family meals that have gone several generations back early in the morning, our lack of spirit caused us to barbecue steak and green-beans later that night instead. My siblings woke up (at last) and were also dull and spirit-less. Christmas Eve was just another boring day living through a global pandemic. December 25, 2020. Now my family woke up later than usual. Although in earlier years we would open presents at 6 A.M., this year we dawdled, made breakfast, and opened out presents around 9. I love dancing. I received a skirt for ballet class, 200$, hair supplies, jewelry, and a purse. I was very happy. Although it wasn't the best Christmas ever, I definitely had a good time.
