I like
Christmas very much. It is time of mystery and magic. It is my favorite
holiday. Of course, like any child, I liked Christmas for presents
and for a lot of food. I always got a lot of presents, from my mother
and father, from grandparents and from uncles and aunts. I would like
to have a plaid dress.
I always remember one Christmas from my childhood. I was about eleven years
old. In a shelf by accident I found a present which my mother bought for
me. It was a big, beautiful and colourful box. I was so excited. But to
my surprise I didn’t even try to open this box. I wanted that it
would a surprise, when at midnight I would open the box and I would full
of happiness and pleasure of presented gift from my mother. I dreamed up
that it is new ball, game adapter or remotely operated car. But when Christmas
came and it was time to open presents, I carefully opened the box and saw
that there was a usual plaid dressing gown. I was so disappointed. All
my dreams felt down. When everybody was happy, smiled and discussed their
presents I sat with an acid looks and almost cried. It was very offensive.
My mother say that she can’t forget my face, she still laugh when
remember my reaction on her present. I had to wear this plaid dressing
gown all year long, but than I grow up and this robe became small to me
and with a great pleasure I gave it to my younger brother.
I will never forget this plaid flannel dressing gown. As for me I will
never present to my child a robe or something like that. It is just unfair
to lay a child’s expectations.
