    It was 8:30 in the morning and from my 

room I could smell the food that my parents 

were cooking for tonight's Christmas party. 

As I got out of bed I could hear my little 

brother playing around in the living room 

and saying that it was Christmas Day.

  I hurried to change my clothes and went 

down stairs right away. By the time I got 

down there, I could see my parents and 

little brother dressed perfectly, or l would 

say young today.           

“Good morning Vi,” the three of them said. 

    “Good morning to you too mom, dad, and my 

little bro,” I replied. 

    “I see that all of you remembered to do the 

first part of our family tradition,” I added.

   Seeing the smiles on all their faces was 

obviously a ‘yes we did not forget’ answer. Every 

year my family and I would get together and as 

always dress up opposite of our age. That 

meaning the adults would dress up as their 

younger selves and us kids will dress up as our 

older selves or who we want to be in the future. 

  “Little bro lets get the decorations and tables 

set up.” My brother and I actually did most of 

the work yesterday so all we needed to do was 

add the final touches. By the time we finished, 

my parents had already put the food on the 

table.

“I think that this is good enough to make our 

guests impressed,” said my mom. Yup! I know 

for sure this will, man I'm so excited hopefully 

our family will come soon. 

    Before my family would start arriving, the 

four of us had a quick check around the house 

and also ourselves. Today was an important 

day that only comes once a year.

    A few minutes later we heard singing from the other 

side of the door, “We wish you merry Christmas, we 

wish you a merry Christmas…” 

   “They've come, they've come!!!”, my brother 

exclaimed. All of us rushed to the door and when we 

opened it we could see all of our family members 

standing there dressed opposite their age and holding 

lots of presents. We lead them into our living room to 

put the presents by the Christmas tree. My dad 

started telling everyone to start getting food to eat. 

Dinner with the family was always filled with laughter 

here. 

  After everyone had finished eating we all 

gathered into the living room to open our 

presents. This year compared to last year 

had way more presents. Everyone got a 

present and each one of us was satisfied 

with what we got.
