So I pulled up next to my cousin’s car, and stepped out. When I walked inside I saw the meal was all out on the counter, and the air was absorbing the mouthwatering aroma of the honey smoked ham, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. As the afternoon passed by, and relatives continued to flow in. I found that, like every year, the family goes through the kitchen. When they are satisfied, and full to the brim with all the desserts; they go sit in the living room, and when we are all cramped in the living room the gifts for the kids 17 and under are passed out and they get opened. When the kid’s gifts are finished the “white elephant” adult gift exchange takes place. Once all the fun is done the relatives slowly start saying goodnight and heading home. That is everyone except for my family and I, you see, we usually stay a day after Christmas and then go to my other grandparents. As I awoke I sat up in the living room chair where I had dozed off the night before. I thought about the dream I had just had; it had felt so real. But I figured I better not waste my time pondering about a dream so I got up ate a bowl of cereal, and went out to the shop to see what my grandpa was up
