"Why do I have to wear this sweater for the Christmas dinner?" I whine, unhappily scrutinizing said outwear in the mirror.
My mom's face falls at this. "You don't want to wear my Christmas present?"
We had all given each other gifts the day before, knowing that on the actual Christmas day, they would all spend it with their families which was just fine.
"I do but it's so big, it's swallowing me up, I'm pretty sure if I don't walk right I'm going to trip and fall." I complain, exaggerating a little bit.
"Stop being dramatic or we'll miss the lighting up of the tree." She says to me, wrapping one of her knitted scarves around my neck.
Apple isn't left out of her knitting frenzy, the adorable cat in a sweater and kitty cap which she kept pawing off, uncomfortable with how it keeps rubbing at her ears.
