The sadness of Christmas and the amazing surprise by Vasiliki Dofi 2nd Grade
It was a boring Christmas Eve of 1997 and Jake was just sitting in his living room alone with no one to spend this family holiday. For Jake the happy times were not that happy. You see he lost his mom on a Christmas Eve just like that 20 years ago and especially for a kid that is trau- matizing . So from that day on he didn’t do anything special . He kept going to work and eat- ing the same food as always never saying happy Christmas or happy holidays to anybody. The only holiday he spent was his birthday and the New Year because of his best friend Paris. Paris had been his best friend since they were kids he was always by his side whenever he needed him. But this year he couldn’t go to work. He had broken his leg. “These holidays are cursed” He said and took a sip of his coffee. Suddenly the bell rang but he was not expecting anyone. He took his crutches and went to the door. At first he thought it was a prank but then he saw at red big box in front of his door. He grabbed the present as fast as he could and he placed it on the kitchen table . Bad thoughts came to his mind and he immediately called Paris -Hey Paris, sorry to disturb you but I need your help -Don’t say another word I am on my way. Paris got into his car and drove to Jake’s house When he arrived he saw Jake watching a box wondering what there could be inside. -I am here, what’s up? -I found this box in front of my door -Did you open it? -I was scared that’s why I told you to come over -Okay now I’m here, open it! The two friends opened the present and they couldn’t believe their eyes. A beautiful pair of shoes were in the box. Their color was brown and they seemed very familiar. -It even has a card -Ah really I didn’t even notice. The card said: Hey I know that the holidays are hard for you because of me. If I could I would go back in time and change everything. I love you. Take care. Mom -This can’t be! -Why? What does it say? Immediately Paris grabbed the card from Jake’s hand. He was shocked. -Hey aren’t these your mom’s letters? -Yeah and it smells like her. -What can I say… it must be a Christmas miracle!
