 Today is Christmas Eve! Not another day in the year have I ever wanted to go to bed ASAP! All day I've been waiting for tomorrow! It's almost like Christmas is someone peaking around a shadowy corner waiting for just the right moment to start slowly creeping it's way into your soul over taking you with the holiday spirit. I can't wait for the morning to come since a buffet awaits my arrival in the evening of Christmas's joyful day. One of my favorite parts of this season is driving down the street when the sun as just vanished and turned the world into a festival of lights as the near by houses turn on their breath taking monuments they call home. I also love baking sugar cookies and decorating ginger bread houses that every knows that it's not worth trying to rescue because we all take part in it's total destruction. I always savor this time of year because it come and goes then before you know it it's December 26th and time to count down to a new year in January!
 My favorite christmas memory was when I was still sharing a room with my little sister, and on Christmas eve we used a Santa tracker online because we all still believed in him. Every year we would jump into bed as soon as it said that he was in North America! At bedtime we were so excited that we just couldn’t get our eyes to droop. So we lay in our beds listening to the wind whistling through the tree’s. It was around 10:00pm when we heard rustling in the living room! Of course we thought it was Santa - not our parents putting presents under the tree. So we locked our eyes shut and pretended we were sound asleep. Eventually we got tired from extreme boredness, and we were taken over. On Christmas we woke at the crack of dawn and rushed to our brother‘s room. Once he was awake the three of us like little mice snuck into our parents room. We all got denied and were told to go back to bed, but like the night before we just couldn’t. So instead we secretly played a game of monopoly in my room to pass the time! As soon as we heard the slightest bit of movement we jumped to my parents room door and waited. We had a fantastic day and a delectable dinner! The same day at 7:30 we had all been overcome with yawns and tiredness, so we fell asleep on the couch because of the early morning. That’s my favorite Christmas memory!!
My connections to how August is being treated is when I was lunch monitoring one year a younger students came to me because one of the other students wasn't letting anyone but their friends play with the toys, this connects to the book because nobody would let August play with them or even touch the same ball as them, therefore the other younger student was August and the person who wouldn't let anyone play with them was the kids at August's school like Julian. In a way I felt like Summer because she always sticks up for the person
