The Best Christmas Present Ever

Gemini Cricket · 12-16-2006, 01:07 PM

After never ever receiving a gift from my little sister for Christmas, I decided that this year I would tell her that I expect at least a card this year. I mean, she's 24 for crying out loud... make with the gifts already. Ha ha.

Little did I know that big brother would be putting his foot in his mouth.

During a conversation on the phone Sunday night (at the park, no less... right in front of World of Disney) with my dad, he deduced that I may be homesick. So, he and my little sister put their heads together and called me back later that night.

In front of the Frontierland gates (with MC's Fishbulb in tow), I get a call from my sister that she bought me a ticket home for Christmas. I was stunned. Of course, there were caveats. It had to be used tomorrow (Sunday the 17th) and it was one way. My parents said they'd help me with a ticket back.

So, I'm off to Hawai'i tomorrow morning thanks to my little sis.

I needed this. I haven't been home this year and haven't spent Christmas with them in 10 years. I'll get to see my grandma, too.

Well, I'm off to pack. I just wanted to share how cool my sister is and how dreams do come true at Disneyland... (I sound like a commercial.)

So with the taste of my own foot in my mouth, I travel home for the holidays. I hope to be back before 2007.

Signed,
Happy Snappy Cricket
