I was so excited, Christmas day was finally here, my favourite time of year. I woke up in my old bed at my old house and could all ready here the sounds of excited voices from down stairs. I got up and pulled on my dressing gown and went to join them.

"Merry Christmas guys!" I announced as I entered the kitchen where I found everyone all up and rearing to go.

"Merry Christmas Champ, we were just about to go and wake you, it's very unlike you to sleep in for so long on Christmas day."

"Merry Christmas Daddy." I smiled, giving him a huge hug.

"Happy Christmas honey, did you sleep alright?" Mom said, jumping in next.

"Oh God yeah, perfectly." I replied, hugging her next.

"Yeah I guessed you did, I could hear you snoring from my room!" Jake laughed.

"Oh my God you little shi…"

"Riley!" Mom yelled, knowing exactly what I was about to call my younger brother.

"I do not snore!" I screeched, grabbing him in a head lock.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry, you don't snore!" he yelled as I tightened my grip.

"Thankyou…" I laughed, changing the headlock to a hug. "So are we gonna open presents then guys?"

Everyone quickly agreed and the four or us practically ran into the living room. We gathered around the tree, Mom, Jake and I positioned ourselves on the floor, while Dad took to couch, then we started handing out and opening presents. We all took it in turns so we could each watch one another, so really it turned into a pretty long process.

"Here you go honey… This ones for you from Dad and me." Mom said, handing me a small box.

"This is only half of it though, we're still waiting for the other one to be delivered to the house, we think it'll be here any time soon though…" Dad added. Both of my parents seemed really excited. With my smile beaming I took the box and began to carefully open it.

"Oh my God guys!" I yelled pulling out the most beautiful watch I have ever seen in my life, "Oh my God!" I scream as I crawled over to where my Mo and Dad were sitting, I gave them the biggest hug ever.

"Do you like it?"

"I love it! It's beautiful! Oh my God, you must have spent a fortune! Surly you haven't got me anything else!"

"Yup, just one more thing…"

"You'll probably like it more than your watch!" Jake laughed.

"I doubt that very much! Hey Jake open that one next." I told him pointing to one of the gifts under the tree, that ones for you from me."

I had got Jake the new Playstation- a PSP or whatever I didn't really know. I got my father the laptop he had, had his eye on and Mom and I must have shopped in the same place, I got her these really beautiful white gold Tiffany earrings. Every one was happy and full to the top with the Christmas spirit, it was great!

After all of the present opening, Mom went to get on with the Christmas dinner while I stayed with Dad and helped him with his new computer. I didn't even hear the doorbell ring; I was just too involved with everything around me.

"Jerry, think Riley's other Christmas present is here!" my mom announced as she came into the room.

"What?" I questioned.

"Go and answer the door Champ!"

"Oh my God guys what else have you got me?" I said excitedly as I got up. "Damn I'm still in my dressing gown; do I have to get it?"

"Yes, go, go on…" mom said sounding even more excited than I was.

"Okay, okay, I'm going." I ran to the door, straightening my hair up in the mirror before I went to open it. Mom, Dad and Jake all followed me out into the hall way- err to watch for some reason. I unlocked the door and opened it slowly… Holy crap, I couldn't believe it!

"Jeff!"

"Merry Christmas baby…" I said to me, grinning. He placed his bags on the floor and held out his arms. We held each or tightly, I was so happy I cried.

"I can't believe you're here…" I sobbed into his jacket.

"I wouldn't have missed your Mom and Dads invitation for the world!" he said kissing the top of my head. "Hey guys…" he greeted letting go of me. I took his hand and grabbed one of his bags with the other and we went indoor.

"I can't believe that you all had this planned!"

"Do you want your Christmas present baby?" Jeff asked me, taking a seat on the couch.

Come on Jerry, Ryan, come and help me in the kitchen…" Mom announced. I silently thanked her as everyone left Jeff and me alone.

"Aww I don't have anything to give you though!" I moaned, wiping my wet cheeks with the back of my hand.

"So…" he laughed.

"So now I feel bad, I can't believe you didn't tell me about this Hardy Boy! You make me so mad, when was all this arranged" Jeff got up and placed a large box on the floor in front of me covered with a black piece of sparkly cloth. "What is it?" I asked curiously.

"I'm not gonna tell you Riley, you're just gonna have to open it! Just go down there and do it though, don't' pick it up." He told me as I knelt down on the floor and looked up at Jeff. "Open it!"

I carefully took off the cloth to uncover the large cardboard box; the box had large circular holes all around the sides. I took a deep breath in and held it there a I slowly took off the lid. I took Jeff's hand and held it tightly when I saw what was inside of the box.

"Do you like it?" he asked. I reached into the box and pulled the tiniest ginger and white kitten.

"Aww he's beautiful…"

"She's beautiful you mean…"

"Oh right… she's beautiful then. I can't believe you got me this… does she already have a name?" I shrieked, cooing and awing over the kitten.

"Nope, that's your job." He smiled stroking her gently.

"Oh no, I can't think of anything! We'll just have to refer to her as Kitty for now."

"Kitty?"

"Yes but that's not the forever name, it's just until I think of another one." I replied totally in another world with my new found little friend.

"I know but it should be more than kitty don't you think?"

"Jeff!" I laughed, "Come on let's go and show the others." We stood to our feet, me with the tiny kitten in my hand, yes hand! It's s cute and tiny that it fits in my hand! "Thankyou..." I smiled, tip toeing up to kiss him.

"Guys, I've got someone for you to meet!" I announced as Jeff and I entered the kitchen.

"Aww!" my Mom cooed as everyone crowed around. "Who this gorgeous looking beauty?" she asked, putting on a baby voice and taking her from me.

"I can't think of name though guys, so I'm open to suggestions!" I laughed.

"Aww how about something Christmassy seems as it's a Christmas time kitty?" mum suggested, putting all of her attention and efforts into the cat.

"Mom that's a horrible idea!" I laughed.

After all of the cooing was over Mom got back to making dinner, the rest of us stayed in the kitchen and tried t think up names… but still nothing appealed to me. This year it was only Mom, Dad, me and Jake for dinner, oh and now Jeff of course, this year it was Ryan's turn to have dinner with Jenna's parents.

We called Ryan and Jenna just before dinner started to which them Merry Christmas and stuff. Ryan came up with some pretty funny names, still none I cared for though.

This year my Christmas was perfect, I had the nicest time with my family and I also got to spend it with the man I was in love with, everything was truly wonderful, I was happier than I had ever been before, plus also as soon as the holiday period was over my development stuff all started! I couldn't wait!
