My christmas is not like a regular christmas. First you think jackets,cold,snow and the fireplace. But not at my grandmas. I call her Nanny.I was born in Florida like down south Florida. When Christmas comes it's still in the 80's and beautiful.
We have a ten hour ride to my Nanny's. So we get bored me and my two sisters Katelyn and Jenna had to play games like 24 questions.When I was little I would always complain about how uncomfortable I was but I always had a better seat Katelyn and Jenna.
We would always stop at this fast food place that isnt in North Carolina but my sister Katelyn loves that place. They had mini burgers and mini chicken sandwiches they were amazing!! It was called Krystal burgers.
When we finally got there it would be late at night and my cousin and grandpa would always be asleep but Nanny would alway be wide awake drinking her coffee waiting on us.
But when you first get out of the car the Florida air sufficates you and in an instant you feel your at the beach.I love the salty air because it reminds me of my home in Florida. The breeze and the salty air blowing through my hair is the best feeling ever.
After we get the luggage out of the car me and my sisters would all have the kids room and my mom and dad would have the room in the way back. We never sleep at a hotel.
The next day we would all sleep late. Well besides my grandpa pappy he would always go to the boat yard and work on his boat. He wouldn't come till 5.
When we finally woke up we would just usually hang out and get back to know each other.We always would sit and have cereal all the kids on the round table it was dead silent when we ate.
The rest of the time we were always busy either going to a family members house or going to the beach.
There was one time I remember when we would go to my aunt Carlene's house and just play in the pool all day long.
Finally when we get to christmas eve we would open pajamas. Then we wake up real early and start opening presents. One time my cousin was so bad he got light switches in his stocking. Everyone laughed well except him.
When we had to say goodbye are grandma would always have a big bag of snacks and a cooler full of drinks.In the car everyone slept except for my dad.But my dad would wake us up at Jacksonville to see the beautiful bridge. When we got home we wouldn't unpack till the next day.
-it sounds sweet sounds like you had a lot of fun at you nanny's house I'm happy for you honey.
