Being a Senior in school and thinking about the books you have to read and the homework you ought to do, stress building up on you, can make you feel like Christmas is just another excuse for extra homework. Having to stay home most of the days and study while everyone else is outside, making snowmans and having a great time is just another reason to not believe in Christmas miracles. Thank god my mother booked as tickets to fly to New York for New Year's eve, and I get to stop studying for three days.
''Caroline we have to be in the airport at least three hours before the flight! Hurry up!'' my mother complained.
''I will be there in a minute'' I said while I took my suitcase from the floor and started walking downstairs.
The drive to the airport was pretty pleasant as I watched the streets decorated for Christmas. I did not understand how time passed, we were in New York when I openned my eyes.
It was magical. Like I walked into another world away from the small town I lived in. We took a taxi to get to the hotel. The hotel was huge and everyone there was so kind and pleased to help us with whatever we needed. My little sister and I, decided to go for a walk, which,I must admit, I enjoyed so much.As we were walking, I saw a little store in a corner, which was filled with books. I decided to go inside and buy some books,but when I got in the first thing that caught my eye was a porselain little house. I had read about this. Legend says that if you buy this and you leave it under the christmas tree in New Year's eve, three of your wishes would come true. Of course I did not believe this, but I bought it anyway.I placed it under the tree and I left a note with my wishes.
Wish One: Win the new iphone competition.
Wish two: A new guitar
Wish three: My little sister's vision to be restored.
I closed my eyes and wished for those things repeatedly. When I woke up, I had an email from the competition saying I won the new iphone. Also my mother had bought me a new guitar. I was shocked! I could not believe that the porselain house did all this. With tears strimming down my face I ran into my sister's room.
'' Lizzy where are you?'' I started shouting .
"I am trying to sleep leave me alone" she moaned.
"Please just open your eyes honey" I was so nervous.
'' Caroline? where are you?" she said
With tears strimming down my cheeks I reached for her and hugged her so tight.
" Caroline I told santa to bring me magical glasses so I can see you. Mom says you are pretty but I want to see for myself. What did you ask santa to bring you?"
"Nothing Sweety because I got what I wanted. I wanted a little angel to run around in the house and give life to it. And you are the best little angel I could ever wish for."
From this day on, I understood that stuff such as phones and guitars are not important. The real happiness comes from our beloved ones. And even if life is hard and not fair all the time, my life could not get better . I never wished for anything else in my life.
