Narrative Essay On Christmas Quadruplets

Improved Essays
The Christmas the quadruplets all got the life size doll comfy couch toy I was mortified. Where was my mine? Did my name somehow disappear off of Santa’s list? Thank god my thoughts couldn’t kill, because those toys would have instantly been shredded to bits of the smallest particles that would be unfixable. Ever! I used to want to terrorize my siblings while they were sleep. Possibly break a favorite toy or rip a favorite shirt and hide pieces to a favorite outfit in various places throughout the house. Maybe hide their toothbrush and one of their shoes so that they would get in trouble. I secretly wanted to cause them pain and ironically enough I wanted to be the one they looked for comfort in when they felt like their world was caving in. I wanted to be the one there for them, the shoulder they cried on, and someone that they needed. Things never worked out like that though. I never could stay up long enough at night to secretly inflict pain. One set of quadruplets all girls. Two sets of twins. One set was a girl and a boy, the other both boys. Then there was me.

I overlooked one of the quadruplets moving her room to the basement refusing to share her room with her three counterparts. I laughed when I noticed that they started to hang out in different crowds and when I heard one of them begging my dad to be able to do things without having to tag along one of the twins I brushed it off as just a phase. I was just a child. I didn’t notice that while I spent most of my childhood wishing I had a twin. The twins spent some of their childhood wishing they didn’t. I can look back now and laugh at the thought because I appreciate being to blossom without a twin but then life just didn’t seem right without one. Most importantly what I failed to notice was how upset my sisters were that Christmas morning. They didn’t want the same toy no more than I wanted them to have

    Although I have read books and watched movies about WWI, I still had a lot to learn about this war. I knew little things about this topic, such as the war stopped before Christmas and restarted after New Year’s day.

I also knew that the German army was the strongest army in Europe and wanted to learn more about what made them so strong.

    Santa’s Coming To Town Christmas time, a time usually in connotation with joy, family, milk and cookies, and Christmas classics such as A Charlie Brown’s Christmas and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. As a young boy or girl, everyone has their stories of Santa Claus, from wanting to touch his beard or telling him what you want for Christmas. Christmas has grown into not just celebrating Jesus’ birthday (if that’s what you believe in), but instead as a holiday for lots of gifts. The idea for giving gifts at holidays is not a new concept, but the idea of gift giving has become excessive with advertisements blasting out Black Friday sales and people wanting whatever they can afford.…

    If you want your children to have nightmares for the rest of their lives, Teletubbies is the show to do it. It was produced in 1997 and the target audience was pre-school age children. Portrayed as a quad of playful beings that laugh and play at the delight of children, the Teletubbies take over the screen with their frighteningly fixed smiles and incoherent gibberish. It is said that this is quite popular with young children, but it was the opposite in my home. Saturday morning cartoons are nostalgic to adults of my generation, and remain a favorite pastime of children in my home.…

I was nameless (going by Charlie Brown and Wrinkle Head), content to be the center of my parents’ attention, and alone for one last time. Ten days later, Matthew and Josephine were brought home and stole my spotlight once again.…
