I used to get SUPER excited for Christmas, and once December rolled around it was really hard for me to wait until the big day.

So one year on December 1st I told my parents I was gonna go to sleep, and that they shouldn't wake me up until Christmas morning. I was pretty surprised when they didn't put up a figh.

I went to bed at night, but I only slept until 1:30 p.m. the next day. Then my sleep schedule was screwed up for the next two weeks.

Mom says it's IMPOSSIBLE for human beings, to hibernate, but I'm not 100% convinced that's TRUE.

There's this group of wild kids who live in the woods, and everyone calls them the Mingos. You _ never see the Mingos in the WINTER, and when they make their first appearance in the SPRING. they look like they just woke up.

So, if they're not HIBERNATING, I don't know WHAT they're doing all winter.

The rest of us NORMAL people have to grind it out and deal with the cold weather.

And the only way to do THAT is to Stay inside as much as possible and keep warm.

When we got back from our trip.a few weeks ago, there was a package on our front step. It was a Christmas gift from Aunt Dorothy, and when we opened it there was a giant BLANKET inside.

That thing was AMAZING. It was really soft, but it was also HEAVY, which is exactly how I like my blankets. The only problem was that the gift was for all three of us boys, and we started fighting over it right away.

We wanted to use the blanket at the same time, so Mom told us we were gonna have to take TURNS with it.

But the three of us have never been any good at SHARING, so Mom had +to make a. blanket schedule that spelled out who get to use it when.

But that wasn't really FAIR. Manny has his OWN blanket, so he was being greedy.

When it was MY turn to use the blanket, I tried to make the most of it.
