IN MY LIFE

Evan woke up around seven, as he did every Christmas morning. He walked downstairs with his hair a mess and sleep in his eyes. His parents and Gram were already awake, waiting for him in their pajamas. The living room was dark, though the blinds on the windows were open and light bounced off the snow from outside and onto the ceiling. The tree was lit in the corner of the room and hid a spread of presents, which Dad and Mom handed Evan with smiles as he sat on the floor between them. Mom held a large garbage bag to take all the wrapping paper as Evan went through his gifts.

Evan got: a netbook, for college; a microwave, for college; a thesaurus. All Dad gifts. Sweaters, pants, shirts (for college), new socks and underwear, two new hats, and a pair of gloves. Mom gifts. A couple of books, several pads of the expensive paper he liked to use, gift cards to iTunes and Amazon.com; thanks, Gram. And luggage, for coming home from college (Dad). Christmas was always big for the Owenses. Even years when money was tighter, his parents managed to go all out for Christmas. They’d say things like For working so hard this past year as they handed him gifts.

Evan got a cappuccino maker for his parents, which he’d been planning for months and which he also considered a gift for himself. He drew a comic strip for his grandmother, which he was sure would be framed and viewable for the next twelve months.

Everyone hugged and Evan had his hair ruffled.
