Pryia's+Memoir

  Christmas:Best Time of Year     As I glare at the sun rising on Christmas mourning, I notice little pieces of cotton balls laggardly following the wind slowly carpeting the ground like a warm blanket. I strolled into the magnificent family arena to see a bunch of Christmas presents wrapped under the tree. The lights made me squint, I noticed the gorgeous star on the top of the tree. I just want to sit near the fire place, stay in my spongebob pajama’s and drink hot chocolate with extra marsh mellows all day. My annoying little brother and I bolted to open our presents, but right before we could Mama called us to the kitchen. We angrily marched to her and found freshly baked cookies! Of course dad made his special coffee for the family.  “RING”, the door bell rang. I dashed to the door to find my best friend or sister (as some people say) ,Priya, at the the door. I bumped into Priya in first grade on the bus, she’s taller than me and very delightful. Obviously, she’s a part of my Christmas every year. That day was based on three important things. One - spending time together. Two - sharing presents. Three - go ice skating. That's the main plan for the afternoon. We both haven’t been ice skating in forever so long we don’t even know how to put on ice skates, just kidding ! We are going to fall and hurt ourselves so badly, but who cares as long your with you loves it all good! “Finally we’re here ! It felt like a 20 hour car ride!” ,I yelled “I know right, well since we’re here lets get started”, Priya said inaudibly. “Oh yeaaaah ! I’m afraid we’ll fall and fall and FALL” ,I replied with some tension. Before I knew it Priya was already running to the ice skates renting booth. The ice skating rink looked like is was freshly cleaned by a zamboni, it was so clear that I could see my reflection perfectly. While the snow slowly fell down, I looked at the rink and felt a little anxious. Our little trip turned out to be the most fun time ever ! Who knew falling and messing up was half the fun of ice skating ! As we slowly walked through the snow we bumped into Santa Claus, or so he said. We thought he was really nice actually. Finally we were home. We turned on the t.v., made hot chocolate and enjoyed the rest of the day I never thought that this one day would be so special just because it was with my best friend and family. Its said that when with friends and family your day automatically gets better. I most defiantly agree with that. Oh man, what a Christmas!
