I wake up in the morning. Today is Christmas! My bedroom is very cold. I don't like the cold. I get out of my bed. Today my breakfast is toast. I put strawberry jam on the toast. It is only so-so because I usually don't like eating in the morning. If I eat in the morning, I get a stomachache. I put on my jacket and go outside. My mom and father can't come home because today our restaurant is very busy. I feel sad and angry. But I listen to music and my sadness and anger go away. I ride my bike and go to our restaurant. At the restaurant, you can eat meat and cold noodles. Our restaurant is very far away, but I like going there. I don't know why, but I like the ride there. In a half-hour, I arrive at our restaurant, but my mom and dad do not greet me because the restaurant is very busy. I go up upstairs to see my dog. I think she is very happy because my dog's tail is wagging. My dog and I go out for a walk. By 8 o'clock the sky is black. Snow falls from the sky. My dog really likes snow. I think this Christmas is not the worst. This Christmas is very, very happy!
