We named teams, Team 1 is called Road House and Team 2 is called Footloose, Erica and I will take a face-off and Stacey is ready to drop the ball and the game is on. I won the face and pass the ball to Aki, then back to me and I passed it to Terri and then Kayla steals the puck moving foward. She passes to Erica and makes a quick shot passed Jenna and Hinata makes the save. She passes to Neewa, then passes to me as I rushed over take the shot and SCORES! 1-0 Road House (G- Joe, A- Neewa, Hinata)

"Woo Hoo!" I cheered, then Michael passes to Paula, then to Monica, then passes to Su Yung, she makes a slap shot and hits the crossbar, then Jenna takes the puck and then BOOM Paula body checks Jenna and took the puck, passes to Su Yung, she makes the shot, Hinata stopped the ball, then Kayla takes the rebound shot and SCORES! 1-1 (G- Kayla)

I noticed Cameron wasn't playing, so I have to make an early time out,

"Time out guys." I said, I walked up to Cameron,

"Why aren't you playing with us son?" asked,

"Well I do wanna play, but we need Tiffany Lee to even the team up, you know what I mean?" he said,

"Know that you mention it, she hasn't been here yet." I said,

"Has anyone had any idea when Tiffany Lee is coming?" I called, the girls had no idea,

"I'll call her." Aki said as she dials Tiffany Lee cell,

Meanwhile, Tiffany Lee is working on some new model clothing for 2024, then she felt her cellphone vibrates,

"Hello?",

"Hi it's Aki, where are you?" Aki asked,

"Oh I'm so sorry honey, I couldn't make it to Nellie Lake, I was asked to help out with some new models and some new clothes ready for New Years, but the good news is I'll be off Christmas Eve and I'll bring Kyle and we'll be there then." Tiffany Lee explained,

"Are you sure you're off Christmas Eve?" Aki asked,

"Yes, the administrators recommended that I'm taking my holidays off started Christmas Eve." Tiffany Lee answered,

"Okay, we'll be expecting yous to come over as fast as you can okay?",

"Okay. Again I'm so sorry." Tiffany Lee said,

"Don't worry about it, just do what you gotta do and join us on Christmas Eve." Aki said,

"Oh I will. Talk to ya later. Kiss." Tiffany Lee said,

"Kiss." Aki said, turns off her phone and explained Tiffany Lee's regrets,

"Tiffany Lee can't make it today or tomorrow, so she has too much work to do, but she'll be off on Christmas Eve and will join us then.",

"Okay then, Cameron you'll have to be a substitute to either Road House or Footloose?" I asked,

"I'll go for footloose, it'll give me a chance to play against Hinata." Cameron said,

"Okay. Footloose you Cameron on your team, each of you will take 2 minute break each time." I said,

"You can play my spot Cameron." Su Yung offered,

"." Cameron said,

"You can speak Chinese man?" Michael asked,

"Kinda, Su Yung is teaching it to me." Cameron answered,

"Okay, it's our ball when you guys tied before the time out so here we go." Jenna said, then passes to me, but then Cameron went and tries to push me in the snow and steals the ball,

"Hey come on son, that's not fair." I said,

"Sorry dad, but you gotta steal the ball." Cameron said, he back passes to Erica, one timer shot and Hinata makes a glove save, the passes the ball back to Jenna, then she speeds up, fakes a shot passes to Terri, she shoots and Michael makes a glove save, he passes the ball to Monica, then passes to Cameron, then to Kayla, then back to Cameron, he shoots and SCORES! 2-1 Footloose (G- Cameron, A- Kayla)

"Nice goal." Hinata said,

"Thanks sis. There's plenty more coming." Cameron said,

"That can be arranged." Hinata said as she passes to me, then I passed to Aki, the back to me, then I passed it to Terri, she makes a shot and SCORES! 2-2 (G- Terri, A- Joe, Aki)

"We need to win this game. We need to keep the pace up and score as much as we can." Cameron said,

"We gotta win it." Michael said,

"Hey! You guys giving up?" I called,

"No way. We're still gonna win and you know it." Monica called,

"Monica, you sit this one out and Kayla will take your place. I'll score 2 goals and I'll get Erica and Su Yung get a goal each and Erica you score this one first." Cameron said startegically,

"Hinata. Keep blocking their shots, they're finding a way to catch up and tie the game up. We'll keep scoring on them in no time flat." I said while we huddle,

"Let's go!" Hinata shouted, since we scored, Footloose team got the ball and then they charged.

"Whoa. Careful!" I barked when I saw them charging, Paula took a long pass to Cameron and he shoots. SCORES! 12-9 Road House (G- Cameron, A- Paula)

"Come on pick up a pace, we still got a chance to win the game. Focus!" I barked up, I got the ball, then I passed it to Terri, she passes to Jenna, then to Aki, she shoots and Michael makes a glove save blocking his mother and passes to Cameron and he charges in running past Terri, Jenna and Neewa. Then he checks me, makes a slap shot and SCORES! The game is tied 12-12 (G- Cameron, A- Michael)

"Dammit. Cameron is starting improve he even scores 7 goals and helped catching up to tie the game. Well, that's my boy." I said to myself, I passed the ball to Jenna, then she passes to Aki, then passed to Terri, she shoots, Cameron blocked her shot, then he charges up again past Terri and Aki, he dropes his stick and charges straight at me and Hinata just as I was in front of Hinata, then Cameron lept on to me and he's so strong his tackle pushed me to Hinata and we moved the net.

"And that's the GAME!" Sarah called and blows an air horn, 12-12 Tie Game.

"Why'd you lept on us son?" I asked,

"Because I love playing hockey with you guys." Cameron said,

"How about snow ball war time?" Hinata asked,

"Snow ball war?" the girls squeals and wanna join in the fun.

"I'll pass, I'm exhausted." Erica said,

"Me too." Stacey said,

Hinata and Cameron has been working on 2 awsome snow forts creatively for the past few days. 1st fort goes to Hinata, Monica, Jenna, Michael, Aki and Neewa. 2nd fort goes to myself, Cameron, Terri, Paula, Kayla and Su Yung.

1 hour later, we were exhauted from throwing snowballs and our forts were snowy mess, I was so exhauted I have to get inside the house, Su Yung, Kayla, Terri, Aki, Hinata, Michael and Cameron still got some fun and energy left to go skating on the lake.

"Aren't you gonna skate with us?" Terri asked,

"No. I'm to tired of all the fun." I said, "You go ahead." Jenna said, so Paula, Jenna, Monica and I got inside the house resting and warming up ourselves while the girls and the kids skate around the lake,

"You sure you don't wanna skate around with them?" Sarah asked,

"Nah, I haven't been skating in 20 years. Besides I'm too tired of all the fun." I said,

"Then about 45 minutes later, the other returned inside the house from skating now exhausted."

"Anybody in the mood for spagehtti and garlic bread with mozzarella?" Sarah asked,

"Woo Hoo!" Cameron hooted, then everybody ate and after we ate, we watched some Christmas specials on TV and on DVD.

First we watched "It's A Spongebob Christmas", then "The Grinch", then "Ice Age Mammoth Christmas" and after the DVDs, we tuned in on CBC for the Christmas specials and we find one we can watch.
