Christmas

I celebrated Christmas with my mother's family last year. I was looking forward to the Christmas party since the school holidays in October. My family is usually the first to arrive at the party as my brother and I always rush our parents. I also had fun buying Christmas presents for my friends
All the adults had decided that the children was to plan the whole Christmas party, from the food to the decorations. My cousins and I were so excited that we started planning one month before the actual party which is on the eve of Christmas. We had decided to have fried food and order KFC delivery.
I felt that by letting us organise the Christmas party they have made us closer together. Although in the midst of organising the party, there were some differences in opinion, we managed to settle it in the end.
During the Christmas party, everyone ate the dinner together and we talked about everyday life, which may seem trivial to others but is very interesting to us. After that we watched the television and ate desserts.
Then, the part of the night we have been waiting for came and as soon as the clock showed 12 o'clock, we eagerly rushed to the pile of presents under the Christmas tree. We tore the presents together and one of my cousins almost opened my brother's present. We also thanked our aunts and uncles as they gave us our presents, as it is the thought that counts.
After the opening of presents, we all went home to play with them.
