When the best Christmas turned out to almost be the worst Christmas. |
Journal Entry: 237 Date: December 19, 2012 Time: 9:21 A.M. Dear Journal, Hello again. Well, school's out for the holidays, I woke up at 7:00 as I normally would, but when I looked at the calendar and remembered "No school!", so I sailed back to The Land of Nod again. I woke up a few minutes later and here I am typing. Man, I think and hope that this year we are going to have the best Christmas EVER, Journal! Well Mom's calling so we can go Christmas shopping. Later! Joy Time: 3:54 P.M. Dear Journal, We just got back from shopping and GUESS WHAT?! They have a sale on my favorite shoes! 50% off! Can you believe it?! Not only that, but they also give you a coupon to get anything in the store for free! FREE!! I wish soooooo much that Mom would get it for me for Christmas! Anyway, later!
