just an excerpt from my group English Project:
25th December 2006, Monday--- Christmas Day
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh…
The lyrics of the Christmas carol still lingers in my mind, constantly reminding me of the enjoyable moments I just had with at my friend’s Christmas party. It had been a party of joy and laughter, fun and heart warming. Bringing out the true meaning of Christmas.
The sun hung lowly in the distant horizon, as we walked towards that huge mansion. We were all ecstatic as we shuffled along the paved road, chatting among ourselves, chatting about what to expect. As the huge bronze gates swung open, soothing, melodious Christmas carols echoed around, as if beckoning us with extended hands. The extend of how much attention his family paid to this festive can be seen through the many ornaments, decorations, presents lying around the house. We gaped in awe as we admired the many guests they invited. He was waiting for us there. Hair unkempt, loose jeans, striking a pose clearly showing that he was trying to look cool in front of other girls around. Many a time I saw him do that pose, and I wondered if he knew it did not make him look any better.
The Christmas lightings outside that adorned the huge building were nothing in comparison with the interior. From the plasma television set to the entertainment system, all were the latest, standing, flaunting the wealth of the family. His parents were there, somewhat dressed in the finest clothes I had ever seen. Through that entertainment system, relaxing yet joyful voices sang from it. Loud yet easy on the ear. The wealthy background of his was never shown to us, he was rich yet did not possess the snobbish many other do. Through the course of the night, we played and laughed, we joked and teased. I had a ball of a time and enjoyed myself totally.
The atmosphere was perfect for that special night and I had enjoyed myself immensely and that it will be etched in my memory, that huge mansion, that rich friend of mine all these will remain forever, never changing.
Jingle bells Jingle bells…
