Accordingly, I was sitting on my soft bed 14 hours before the clock struck 12 to signify that Christmas was here. The main thing I wanted was the shoes I saw on Finish Line’s website, the gray Lebron 12s. I wrote it in bold and in red ink on the very top line of my Christmas list. As I laid down, I was very anxious with anticipation. …show more content…
With a huge smile plastered on my face, I peered into the living room looking for a shoe box shaped gift. I waited there for ages until my family finally awoke and arrived downstairs. I tore open every gift that said “From Santa, To Christian” in a red and green label on it. Searching viscously for the shoes, I saved the prodigious gifts for the end.

The sun was setting on the horizon as he stepped into the brown, murky water that the ducks swam in. There is also turtles in that pond, but we did not know that back then. He hollered back at us, “Y'all got to do it too now!” Without hesitation, my friend and I hopped off the bench and walked into the water. It was frigid to start out, but after about two minutes it became warmer. With goosebumps down my arms, I had fun throwing a football back and forth in the water with them. I had to go because it was getting late and as soon as I stepped out it hit me. I had left my shoes on. I looked down and I saw my shoes go from
