Mrs. Osnow’s Class

   The day started as I awakened to the smell of crisp bacon crackling in the kitchen. I quickly got dressed and then wandered towards the tantalizing smell.   I stumbled down the hall into my delicious-smelling kitchen to find my family. My brother’s eyes were glued to the tiny, flashing screen on his jet-black DS.  I observed my mom cooking her famous waffles and my dad frying crispy bacon.   I greeted them and asked if we could open our Christmas presents (which were in our beautiful living room by the way). They responded, “No” and said we had to wait for my grandparents to wake up. I groaned deeply but sat down to eat nonetheless.   I thought the waffles were delicious as I bit into a syrup-bathed piece. The bacon was also delectable, nice and crispy, just the way I like it!   Near the end of our feast, we heard a “creak” on the stairs and were surprised to see my grandparents.   We hugged my tall grandpa and my shorter but still tall, grandma.   At first, my brother and I made small talk, but then we blurted out, “Can we open the gifts now!?”   Everyone stared at us ominously as if we had five heads!   After an awkward pause, my humorous father broke the silence, “Sounds good to me!”

   The walk to the living room was tense and long. It was far from tedious, as my brother and I were shaking with excitement. I spotted the red lights glaring outside of the living room.   When I stumbled into the living room, I was stunned.   The vibrantly colored orbs danced around the Christmas tree. The tree itself gave off one of the most pleasant scents I ever had the pleasure to smelling. The colorful lights reflected off the bulbs illuminating the entire room.   Unwrapping was extremely amusing. I had amassed quite a lot of gifts that year which were mostly games for my XBOX 360 and Wii. After everything was unwrapped, I started playing my new games.   I played for hours on end, my games taking me from medieval castles to futuristic war zones.   I jumped from game to game all day long.   Time flew by and when I finally put the now sweaty controller down, it was already 12 o’clock!   As I dressed for bed and lied down, I grinned to myself because I knew that another extraordinary day awaited me tomorrow.
