is a day when families get together
and celebrate 's birthday, or to give. But
last was totally different. Last would
be one my cousin and I would never forget! My cousin and I were
planning to sneak out around midnight to catch Santa Clause in
his tracks. Andre, my cousin, and I were getting ready for Operation
Catch Santa.
We were reviewing our plan when all of a sudden my mom came into
the room to check up on us. We practically jumped out of our
beds because she scared us to death! Then she asked us if we
were ok. We said,"Yes". When we finished reviewing
our plan the two of us started to play some video games with
our other cousin, Nando. All of us played Twisted Metal 4 on
Andre's Playstation 2. After that, the three of us went to go
get something to eat at our family called Las Nubes
Steak House. It is a very popular in Douglas and they
have very good Mexican food. Then when we finished eating our
dinner all of us went back to the house to go to our room and
pretend we were sleeping. All we had to do was wait until midnight
to start Operation Catch Santa, even though we weren't allowed
to sneak out on Eve.
Andre and I were very excited to at least try and catch Santa
Clause. After all the excitement, the whole family went to bed,
except the two of us. Two hours later, we heard a big on
the . The two of us quietly got out of bed and
went to the living room, and on our way I almost woke up my grandma
but we were lucky J. "That was a close one," I said
to myself. When we got to the living roomÖ there he was.
The real guy was standing right in front of us! I mean that Santa
Clause was really real! Santa told us to please be quiet so we
wouldn't wake the others up and cause a lot of commotion. I asked
Santa if he would give us a ride in his sleigh. Santa paused
for a moment and said, "Yes". Andre and I almost yelled
because we were so happy, but kept it in. Santa took us up to
the through the chimney and we said hello to
all the reindeer, then the three of us went on a ride around
the little city of Douglas, and it was the nicest thing I ever
saw. Then Santa took us! back to our Grandma's house so we could
go back to bed and open all of our presents in the morning. Like
a flash Santa Clause was gone!
That morning was the best holiday in the whole year, ! It
was finally here. Everybody woke up to celebrate the birth of
.
It has been a tradition to line up from shortest to tallest before
we run into the living room so we can start to open our great
giftsÖ and we did! That was the best a
kid could have!
