You slip on ice. You burn your tongue with hot chocolate. You're constantly sick. You can't spend longer than 20 minutes outside without thinking you have hypothermia. You have to spend time with those annoying relatives you avoided for the past 11 months. You have to spend your money buying people gifts, when you may not even have enough money to eat dinner every night. You listen to the same songs you've heard since you were 7, everyday since November. You have snow days, which then cause you to go to school longer in the summer. You anxiously wait for December to come, yet when it's here, you realize its not all is polished up to be. But, yet, somehow Christmas is the "most wonderful time of the year", right?
Wow... that was great! Way to bring out the pessimistic side of you... :D
ReplyDeleteThis piece was cute and funny just because I experience most of these things each Christmas, and I hate winter, so thanks for that-- you made my day!:)
Although I love the holidays, this piece definitely got me thinking about some things. It was a great short piece, and it showed your skills besides just essays!
