I wake up to a screaming Brandy jumping on my bed. "IT'S CHRISTMAS! GET UP GET UP GET UP!" I rub my sleepy eyes and sit up, pushing brandy off the bed, and see Ella~Maree in the door way.

"You realize it's almost twelve, right?" I nod my head and get up, and see Brandy and Ella sprint out of my room. I slowly follow then and see my mum parked on the sofa, waiting for us.

"Mum you should have woken me up," I say and hand Ella a present with her name on it. She thanks me and rips the package open, revealing a small set of lip gloss in various flavors.

"You're welcome," I her Brady shout from under the Christmas tree. She was looking for presents with her name on them. For some reason, she doesn't open a single thing until she has all of her presents in a small circle around her. She does it every year. It's weird.

It was about 9:00 (American time) when we all settled down and were watching some boring documentary about snails. Brady was so engrossed in it though, so we kept it on.

Ella Maree turned to me. "So what did Zayn give you?" My mouth dropped open. Ella Maree groaned. "You guys forgot, didn't you?" I nodded.
