My first Christmas


Finally I know why do they sing “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…“ Unfortunately you can only dream of such Christmas. When you look out of the window you can see just very light dusting on the grass. It looks like trying to cover little bit darker top of Christmas bread with powder sugar, which you have just run out of.

On the Christmas day there was completely no snow. I can tell because we went for a walk to see grandma and grandpa. When we got home, everybody was in good mood. I had a little nap in my stroller to gain powers for evening. Just my parents looked a little frozen.

In the evening we all dressed up, Ája wore a ribbon around her neck and daddy took a new fresh shirt. During the dinner I sat with my parents by the dinning table and kept banging with my rattle keeping the rhythm of Christmas carols.

After dinner we moved to the living room. There is a pretty Christmas tree in the corner with many beautifully glittering decorations. Unfortunately I was not allowed to either touch or taste any of them :-(. I could not even touch any of the lights daddy turned on.

I think Ježíšek (Jesus Child) had to arrive with the presents when parents were having dinner. Before dinner the Christmas tree was standing lonely and alone. When we came after dinner there were many boxes and presents under the Christmas tree decorated with nice wrapping paper and ribbons. I was interested mainly in the ribbons so when mom placed me on the floor I headed directly to the first present and started to unpack it. Mom and daddy had to help me as it was not as easy as I had hoped. The result though surprised me pleasantly. There were a few plastics rings suitable for beslavering and throwing on Ája.

Ája also got some presents. Her the most favorite was the one from which she pulled out a yummy salami stick. She didn’t pay attention to the wrapping paper, which I on the other hand liked a lot. I patiently mumbled it and kept tearing it for so long that at the end there was just a bulk of paper. Before my parents opened all presents I managed to tear some more paper and ribbons.

I got to bed with my tummy full and pleasantly tired. My wardrobe and toy box enlarged and Ája keeps visiting the drawer with her treats much more often than before. I like Christmas.
