Saturday

This Saturday I am having my going away party for Spain. A bunch of my friends are coming and I’m really excited. There are a lot of preparations that need to happen before the party though. My mom and I are putting up the Christmas tree today after I get home from school which usually takes about 3 hours to do. The tree is kept in our basement and is really heavy to move. There are 5 different stories of branches that go on it which makes it really tall. We have about 700 ornaments that we hang on it every year which is always very tiring to put up…and take down. Whenever we put up the tree we play Christmas music the whole time which is always a lot of fun. we also have to put up Christmas lights outside our house and on our back deck. After that, my mom and I have to go shopping for all of the food and materials we need for the party. The party is 6-10pm which is going to be fun but also very tiring. Right now I have about 38 friends coming to our house is going to be pretty packed. My friend is bringing her huge speaker with a disco ball on top which we will probably put in the basement where most people will be hanging. There’s probably a million details were going to forget but I hope that overall, the party goes smoothly.
