Christmas

by Gustavo from Brazil

In the morning I wake up and remember it was my favorite day. Everybody I know loves Christmas. In the afternoon I hear knocking on the door as my family comes home. At night my father starts a big fire in the fireplace. The wood burning sounds like round balls exploding. In the kitchen the cooking turkey smells so sweet, like in a restaurant.

I help to make the dessert. It is a cake. The big beautiful cake is chocolate inside and covered with white icing. Everybody was talking, but when the turkey was ready everybody came to the table to eat.

The turkey was so sweet and soft, like a barbecue. When everybody finished we opened the presents under the Christmas tree. I picked up my present. The paper was flat, like a book's paper.

It was a new watch!

I loved this present. I hold the watch and the front was flat, and was so heavy. I wear my watch everyday!
