On Christmas day we have a big breakfast. Then we check on the cats to see if they opened our presents. If they do open our presents, I`ll slap them. We get to open one present on Christmas Eve. When we wake up Christmas morning we see about 10 presents waiting to be opened. On Christmas day we have a big turkey for supper. We celebrate Christmas at my nanny`s house we even stay the night at my nanny`s house Christmas Eve because mom thinks that our living room is too small. We spend New Year`s Eve with my Nanny. We get lots of presents. We leave cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. My nanny only gets a fake tree because she thinks it`s too hard to get a real one. She`s too old that`s why. When we finish opening our presents you can hardly walk in the living room. Our stockings are full of candy. We look in them after we open the presents that Santa gave us. I am asking for moon shoes and a real dog. I already have a cat but I don`t care. Our family draws names for Christmas.
