Ea ea...here it comes...the little chat between Annie and Phantom about Christmas.
Merry Chrismas, Phantom!
Yes, today is December the 25th. And I gotta tell you, the most amazing day of my life. But first of all, I missed to tell you what happened at the Three Broomsticks with Drew. It was overflowingly great. Sigh...
Well, we arrived, holding hands and smiling so wide. Then as we were about to order the beers, I had to bring up my woman pride and don't let him pay my treat. He accepted it. He's so pleasant. I think that's so sweet, though I also think that no matter how hard we try to keep this pace, someday(I hope never, but it's not known) that we may have a weird argument. I so screwed on that little chat, and I was so happy that the butterbeers showed in front of us, so I wouldn't mess that incredible day.
And something else happened. It is regarding presents. I saw this gorgeous Golden and Red scarf in a shop and immediately thought of Drew, wearing it so I bought it and I gave it to him as a Christmas present. He seemed so surprised about it, and felt bad for not having something to give me back, though he immediately solved it when he just took off his two-plaque necklace and gave it to me. Imagine how weird I felt that minute, to the point of crying. And I did let out a few tears. It was painfully embarrassing, but seems like Sparks is giving me the reason to turn myself a little more girly than Lori is trying. I miss that girl...
Anyways, I came home...all grinny like with his necklace. Abue and mom saw it and immediately asked about Drew. I told him about how perfect and sweet he is to me, to everyone, and they were surprised that finally he'd won so much of me to let him hug me. You should have seen their faces, they were so...happy?! They agreed on us, that we were young and we still needed to give each other a little more time. I hope that during THAT time he doesn't get to like another girl. That'd be a little...Oh well, I don't even want to think about it.
Now it's time to tell you about the Christmas Dinner, presents and the whole family gathering. Last time, I told you about my aunts and uncles coming over, Abue being here for the holidays. But then, someone else came: The Saenzs. Aunt Marķa, Uncle Edgar, Diana and Emiliano showed up. I was so happy to see him, really. Don't look at me like that, he's been of great help and support since he knew I was coming to Hogwarts.
At dinner, we enjoyed the typical Mexican treats; like red rice, tamales, a little too spiced up hot sauce, that delicious fruit punch and lots of other things I still didn't get to taste because of the big filling I had while dinner with the whole turkey, ham, potato salad and all that. After then, we decided to make the little show of family talents. Of course, Emiliano had to play his guitar and sang to us. Then dad, mom and I had our little triangle soccer tournament, on which dad due to his little practice, lost during the first five minutes. My cousins, having musical talents as well, sang a whole Christmas song acapella. It sounded so melodical. Everyone liked it very much. Grandma, had been practicing with Copito a little trick about him dancing, welll....twirling as he stood up trying to catch this little plastic mouse. It was so cute and hilarious to see.
PLAY THE DRUMS!!! Because here comes the show and tell about presents:
Aunt Marķa and Uncle Edgar gave me a pair of nice ballerina shoes that I can use with the dress Diana gave me. Emiliano, coming from NY gave me a big collection of last century music in about ten languages. So far, I've listened to only one fourth of it. I wonder how long it'll take for me to go through that list of artists. Abue, gave me a knitted poncho and hat, and for her favourite kitten, she sew this bag to carry him around which included toys and some food. Then, more clothes came from my other aunts and uncles. Mom and dad were the exception, because they know how much I miss soccer and how hard it has become to play since I'm now a full time student at Hogwartgs, and well...they gave me a new soccer ball and new shoes to play. I was amazed...EEEEH! But for some reason, I think I'll be using the clothes more than anything. The dresses, the poncho and many other clothes that came during this night were captivating my attention.
And from me to them, I had been preparing a little collage of pictures of the whole family, all set in a large frame. I made like four of them, each to every head of family. It was a night to remember, my first Christmas that I spend after a whole semester at Hogwarts.
Right now, I'm really sleepy. The adults are talking, Diana and Emiliano are trying to catch up, and Copito is being pampered by Abue. I guess it's time to sleep....
Merry Christmas, again....and thanks for listening.
