My Favorite Christmas Presents

Costantino M.

            My most exciting Christmas had to be the one when I was about six years old. In that Christmas morning I woke up and saw a bright Christmas tree with presents underneath. On the TV was Saturday morning cartoons. I think it was Bugs Nunny and the Gang.

            In the kitchen my mom was preparing a holiday ham in the oven for the Christmas dinner. It smelled so good that just writing about it makes my mouth watery. When I saw that Christmas tree, my eyes lit up and rushed to it in my pajamas. I went for the two largest wrapped presents with my name. One of them was the wrestler, Hulk Hogan pillow. I still have it on my bed to this day. The other was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle van that came loaded with lots of guns for the Turtles. Both sides of the doors would open and one of the guns shot out pizzas.

I was so excited that I immediately ripped the Ninja Turtle van from the box and started playing with it. That Hulk Hogan pillow has been wrestled with for the last eleven years. I still have that vivid memory every year around this time.
