Last Christmas

I didn't know it was going to be one of my last Christmas's with my parents at the time, but because it was, I remember it well. We had just finished having a superb turkey and potatoes dinner, and it was time to open the customary one present before going to bed.

I had picked a medium sized box, with green paper and a red ribbon, to save the best stuff for the morning. I unwrapped the box; and found a very nice music box inside. I listened to its song and watched the ballerina on the inside dance and dance until I feel asleep that night.
