Excitement was in the air. There was snow on the ground that reflected the Christmas lights from the windows. Inside the house was nice and warm. Christmas shows on the T.V. In the corner stood the Christmas tree. It was never a prefect shaped tree, but once we were done putting the lights on and decorations you couldn't tell. I had just finished putting the food out, when we heard the sirens.
This ment that Santa would be riding around town on the fire truck. So we put or coats and shoes on and went outside to see him. The fire truck had Christmas lights on it and there was music playing. If you were on the side walk you got a candy cane. This was always a highlight of Christmas Eve. When he had passed we returned inside to finish supper. A mixture of junk food.
Eventually it was time for bed. But before we went to bed we got to open a present. It was pajamas or mitts. Since I was older now, my brother would be the one to wake me up in the morning. Very early. We’d go turn on all the Christmas lights and gather around the tree, taking turns unwrapping gifts. When we were done, we took out the leftovers from the night before and eat that (along with candy) for breakfast.
Through out the day we entertained ourselves with our presents, watched more Christmas shows or helped my mom cook Christmas dinner. This is one of my favorite Christmas because it was my last one in Caroline. But now I’m making new ones that I’ll remember for ever.
