The Perfect Day

The Perfect Day
I roused after a vivid dream of running in the woods with my dog, feeling thoroughly rested and ready to enjoy Christmas with my family in the snowy land of Vermont.

Me and my brother wait impatiently while my dad sets up the camera and makes coffee. Finally he lets us climb down the stairs and walk into the living room. I gasp at the gifts littering the room while Lukey laughs as Zelda, my dog tackles him with kisses. Lukey and I take turns opening and giving presents for about 20 minutes of fun.

Then, we eat Belgium waffles for breakfast and play some of the new board games like Ticket to ride Australia. We got Zelda an extra special big bone for Christmas too!

Then, we watched Christmas classics, (“Christmas Vacation”, “Frosty the Showman”, etc.) for a few hours.

After the movie marathon, we ate Baked Ziti for lunch and talked about our presents.

At about 2:30, me, my brother, and my dog go outside to play snowccer ball, make tunnels in the plow, roll around, sled, and build igloos until Mom and Dad call us in for some hot cocoa.

While we savor the hot chocolate, we watch some more Christmas movies and play with our presents. At last, we ate ribeye roast for dinner and cheesecake for dessert.

To end the day we read some Christmas tales, prayed, and went to bed.
