A Christmas to Remember
By: Ryan Smith
Christmas is always a very special time around the Smith house. My parents usually have several big surprises for me and my brothers. I guess one Christmas morning that really stands out in my mind would be about ten years back when I was nine years old. My Dad is so in to the season that he is always coming up with these little extras to make the shock bigger and more fun. I have two brothers Matt and Scott, both are older than me but we are very close but love to compete against each other no matter what we are doing.

This particular morning we awoke and walked into the living-room and the first thing we saw was the NCAA Football game and then we got very excited only to continue looking and not find the Play Station set we needed to play the game. My Dad told us he had hoped we had some friends with a set that might let us play our new game on their Play Station. The morning went on and he could see the disappointment in our faces but it didn’t seem like there was anything he could do to change the mood. We played with some of our other things and went out in the yard and threw the new football around and when we came back into the house after about an hour or so he was sitting on the couch holding our new2 game and laughing while we all jumped in his lap. Our family gets a lot of laughs and smiles out of giving. We do gag gifts and always have... [continues]
