Spirit of Christmas 2004

There was a puppy waiting outside for me

Have you ever had a puppy? Last Christmas, when I was seven years old, my family woke up and started to open the many colorful gifts we had. Then, I thought we were finished opening the presents.

But my dad told me that there was something outside. When I wandered outside, there was a black and brown puppy sitting on the grass wagging its tail.

I picked him up and took him inside. His fur was warm and fluffy. As I was petting him, he fell asleep. The adorable puppy was the best Christmas gift ever in my life.
