Christmas memory

A Christmas memory I had was during last year Christmas eve. I remember going to sleep around 8 o'clock so I could get up really early,but before I went to sleep I remember hearing my older brother coming in the door from Champaign. I was so excited that Christmas was the next day that I couldn't go to sleep,so I turned on the radio and turned to 93.9 and listen to Christmas music till about 11:00pm. I finally fell asleep on the floor. I would sleep on the floor,so that I can tip-toe out of my room and go to the Christmas tree to see what I had received. Well soon I woke up around 1pm full of enthusiastic joy. The house was quite, so quite I was able to hear my every movement. I slowly opened my door that creaked a lot. I walked out and saw the Christmas tree lighting the living room and the windows filled with ice. I carefully walk pass my mom room and made my way to the tree. As I get the living room my heart beats faster and faster. Suddenly, I notice that their isn't any gifts laying around. I sadly turn around and go back into my room. I do the routine all over again, and this time I wake up at 4pm. Once again I make my way to the living room and surprisely I see the gifts laying all over the floor. I was so happy. I knew which section was mine because I asked for clothes and games. So I joyfully sat by my gifts and begin to scrutinize them. This was the most memorial Christmas I can remember.
