Day 5
Tim was sitting on his bed on his laptop checking his Facebook at 6 A.M. He was still tired from yesterday. He giggled at a post. It was a picture of a cat dressed like Santa Clause.
Tim shared the post then continued looking on his Facebook. He got a notification. He looked at it and pressed, will be there. It was a invite to a skating party at The Skate House.
Tim knew he had nothing to do that day and that a lot of his friends from school would be there. He hadn’t seen them for a while because school had been out for almost a week.
Tim turned his computer off and sat up. He yawned slowly. He crawled out of bed and quickly changed. The party started at 10 A.M. and ended at 6 P.M.
It was a costume party. Tim had to find something to wear that looked like something related to Christmas. He asked his mom if he could have some money to go buy a outfit for a party.
His mom asked him a couple questions then handed him some money. He looked at the clock then raced out the door.
There was a Walmart about four blocks away. He quickly ran to the Walmart and walked in the door exhausted. Tim found the Christmas cloths aisle and started looking for a costume that didn’t look awful.
Tim found a gingerbread man outfit. He bought it and quickly ran back to his house. It was getting close to 10 O clock and he hadn’t even eaten breakfast yet.
Tim quickly ate breakfast then slipped into his gingerbread outfit. When he walked back down into the dining room his mom (who was doing dishes) burst out laughing.
He ignored the laughing and asked his mom if she could drive him to the party. He and his mother got in the SUV and headed to the party.
Tim arrived at the party at 10 O clock exactly. He said good bye to his mother and headed into the building. His mother started the car again and drove off.
Tim walked into The House of Skating and paid for his entry fee. When he walked into the main room he was met by several of his friends. They chatted for several minutes then put there skates on.
Tim and his friends decided they would play skate tag. They played tag for a couple hours and Tim was tagged only 3 times.
The party was being hosted by Tim’s friend Dan. Dan’s mother brought out drinks and some food. The room was full of boys and all the food was gone in less than 30 minutes. Even the broccoli was gone.
They did lots of activities. They danced, raced, freeze tag and they also did a contest to see who could hold a spoon in their mouth without the egg falling off the spoon.
Tim had a lot of fun. At 5.30 Dan did one more contest. He had a large collection of cheap airsoft guns. He gave each boy a gun and they did airsoft wars on skates.
At 6 O clock the party ended and people started leaving. Tim was picked up by his mother and drove home. Tim was very tired again. Having so much fun made him forget he was tired.
He microwaved some macaroni for supper and sat down on the living room couch. He turned on The Princess bride. Before the beginning credits had ended he was fast asleep.
His mother turned the lights off and went to bed also. Natasha was over at a friend’s house and his dad had also gone to bed. Tim slept on the couch.
There were only 8 Days before Christmas
