The Ultimate Christmas Present!

Part 4

Alas, Home!

Josh made sure to lose the creeps before returning home. We then came inside and ran to our parents.
"Operation The Ultimate Christmas Present is a go!" I announced as I handed the doll to Mom. Dad and Josh kept Ashley busy by allowing a make over.
SOOOO taking a picture.
I then made sure I was backup...just in case Josh and Dad bailed.
It is possible.
Mom did some ultimate wrapping for the present, and then, it was ready.

Christmas morning comes, and I'm being jumped on by Ashley. "Come ON! The TREE! The PRESENTS! The...THE THE!"
"Err...habba-wha?" I mumbled. I stumbled downstairs to see the tree LOADED! And the cookies on the counter were gone.
I ran to wake Mom and Dad and Ashley woke Josh up. Soon, we were all up and ready for whatever we were going to do. I noticed Ashley was SUPER anxious.
"Mom, can we open just 1 present before breakfast, please!" Mom stared at the presents in bewilderment.
"You might as well."
I handed Ashley the Super Sammy doll.
And she opened it.
"Oh...it's nice it all, but I don't want it anymore."
We all had the most shocked, angry faces ever IN THE HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS! WHAT THE-
"I'm kidding, I love it!" Stripped from the box, Super Sammy was action ready! "This must've been hard to obtain!"
We all looked at each other. I started having flashbacks. The tire...the mob...the lady...I couldn't help but shiver from the chill that just went down my spine.
"You DON'T even know."

Thanks for viewing! I'm going to go do something jolly now. Or, I hope...
Have a Merry Christmas! Or happy Hanukkah! Or Kwanzaa! Or...whatever you celebrate! And a happy New Year!
