Hi @olivia08 I love Christmas trees'

Since I was a child I used to stay under our Christmas tree along with our dogs, I feel like it was a fortress.
My father put it up every mid November and I was the one assigned to hang the decors and wishing to meet santa while doing it, I do have a wishlist on who to give gifts and a bucket list on what I really wanted for that occasion as a present for myself, I was excited to have a new brick game when I was nine and told my father to send santa a message to the North Pole, imagine we were in the Philippines through the telegram before, a kind of telegram that was wired unlike today's telegram, so silly of me but of course I was a child, and my father told me to write my bucket list so he'll send it to santa, I do always have the list and my father just smiled while blinking his eye to my mother.
And on the 24rth before midnight my mother always tucked us to bed and told us not to go where the Christmas tree was because santa might not drop his gifts if we will not follow mom's orders, the ever wishful kid just close those chinky eyes until it falls to sleep, and the noche buena came and they're waking us up like crazy because santa left with gifts and letters and kids gathered around the Christmas tree and me under the tree checking on my brick game, almost forgot to dine with my relatives as the noche buena goes on amd the greetings, the hugs and the giving of cash, my father always calls on our dog to look for me, and the dutiful dog always bark under th Christmas tree.
I always asked my father why santa didn't show up but the gifts... he always told me that santa is always in a hurry catching up for kids accross the globe.
As I grow up I realized that santa is my father who knows my wishes well, and Christmas is all about loving.
And Christmas trees are expensive, lol!

These Christmas trees are made for the locals of our town as you can see they're huge and has hundreds of light bulbs in it that captivates my senses and yes I stopped hiding under.

Thank you for taking time reading my Christmas story under the tree.

...Merry Christmas @olivia08 and to everyone here in steemit...

That was a fresh pine tree cut finely from a neighbor's farm my father bought every year and there was a hollow under it for the wrapped gifts, and have it as my hiding place. Thank you.

You need to stake more BEER (6 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)
