The weather has been so warm in Wisconsin that didn\u2019t seem like Christmas would ever come. At long last it was winter break, and the days of sleeping in and lounging around stretched out before me.<\/p>\n

On Christmas Eve my parents said they had a surprise for me and called me to the living room.
\n\"\"
\nI walked into the living room to find new pajamas and slippers! Josefina is my favorite American Girl doll, but I have always loved Julie\u2019s pajamas the best.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI changed into my new pajamas and came back to the living room to set my stocking out for Santa.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI normally like to sleep in late, but on Christmas morning I woke up before my parents and I checked under the tree to find that Santa had visited.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAt my house we wait until everyone is awake and ready before we open presents, but stockings are fair game so I opened my stocking right away while I waited for my parents to get up and make coffee. I emptied my stocking onto the couch so I could see everything. In it I found; a small Rapunzel doll, some new barrettes and lots of candy.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAs soon as my parents woke up I asked them to turn lights on the tree on, even when it is daylight, I think it looks more festive when the lights on the tree are lit.
\nWhen it was time for presents I put everything (minus a few pieces of candy) back into my stocking and I chose this small soft package, I think it looked a bit like a giant piece of candy.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIt was a new T-shirt, in my favorite color with a big sparkly heart on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe next package I opened was a new pair of boots.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAs I tore into the paper on my next present Cricket joined in on the fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI got Noelle Northpole, a special Christmas Lalaloopsy doll!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe next box was kind of heavy and shaped like a big shoe box.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIce skates, with gold laces and sparkly blade guards.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI saved my gift from Santa for last. I love the shiny green wrapping paper and special tag he used.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI couldn\u2019t believe it, I got my own ipod! I had been asking my parents for an ipod and they said I was too young, this proves that Santa is real.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI set out all my gifts so I could admire them all together. I am so thankful for all of the gifts that I received and to be able to spend the day with my family.<\/p>\n
