Christmas Day-Ana Maria Rodas

It is the history about the Christmas Day in 1992. I was 6 years old. This year, my brother and I wrote a letter for the Baby Jesus and we thanked him by all the blessings: the family, the friends, the health and the food. Also in this letter we requested a video game console. My parents said us that maybe the Niño Dios couldn´t give us the console because it was very expensive. On December 24th, we went to my grandmother’s house. There were all my family: uncles, aunts and cousins. My uncle Eduardo dressed up and did a show to all the family. The costume was about a woman. We ate a delicious food that my grandmother cooked all day. At 11pm I sleep because I was tired On December 25th I woke up at morning very early, at 5 o’clock. Immediately, I woke up and I saw a big box for me. When I opened it was a video game console. I was so happy, and all my cousins were excited for that. It was the best console. We played all day. In that time, we used to play Mario Bross. From this time, Mario Bross is my favorite video game. I remember a lot this history because meaning the hope and the illusion that I had about the Niño Dios and the familiar traditions.
