It’s the day before Christmas and I’m still at work. I haven’t finish buying my christmas GIFTS for my family at home because I just arrived from a convention yesterday. When the clock struck five in the afternoon, I greeted everyone in the office a very Merry Christmas and hurriedly went to the mall for some last minute shopping. The mall was very crowded and the line to the cashier was very long. This is the first time I went to the mall a day before Christmas so I was overwhelmed by the number of people inside. I almost gave up and was about to go home when I thought that a little sacrifice by standing in line to pay for my purchases is nothing compared to seeing my family’s faces happy and excited when they’ll receive my gifts. After a long time of waiting, I finally finished everything and went home. I placed my gifts under the Christmas tree and helped my family prepare for the feast. There’s no better way to spend Christmas other than with your family.
