As I sat at my computer desk, typing in the search bar, an ad popped up and I couldn't resist the click. Bright colours flashed before my eyes as if I had opened a portal to some other land but eventually they settled down into an orange background. All of a sudden model animals appeared on the side of the screen. It seems I clicked on an ad for custom ponies. My heart skipped a beat as I saw their detailed faces and I knew I just had to order one. So I did. With my drawing pad beside me I had created my dream horse. Who had ribbons in their tail and pangare in their genes. Christmas themed I guess because it is just around the corner! Finally after an hour of deciding the size of the horse and figuring the prices out, I had ordered it. Just as I clicked the buy now button, I froze. I forgot to see how long it will take to post! my mind screamed as I wildly clicked into the posting info page. Letting out a sigh of relief I am pleased to see it is only being made just outside my town so will arrive in the next two days, "Just in time for christmas."
Two days have gone past and it is christmas eve. I had just finished wrapping the last of the presents and placed them neatly underneath the tree, "There! Aunt Jane, Mum, Dad, Chris and Sara of course," I smiled proudly, ticking off their names on an imaginary checklist. Just as I was about to make lunch, there was a knock on the door. A bit surprised, I opened the door to be greeted by a delivery man, "Are you -- (insert not my name here)?"
"Ye-yes I am."
"Well I have a package for you. Please sign here, here and... here," the man pointed to several places on a piece of paper while handing me a pen. After being given my package, the man hopped in his truck and hurriedly drove off. Shaking my head with a smile, I looked down at the small box in my hands, "Right on time!" I grinned, unable to contain my excitement. With fast movements I tore open the box, peering in hesitantly I saw bubblewrap. Heaps of bubble wrap... but also something else. My model horse! I thought, taking the model out of the box. "Where shall I place you?" I mumbled, looking up at the tree before me. Shaking my head I glanced over at the shelf pver the fireplace. Letting a gasp, I grinned. Walking quickly to the shelf, I delicately placed the horse on the shelf, beside a vanilla scented candle. "There! Perfect!" I sighed, standing back to admire the model.
The next morning was Christmas. I was awoken to my cats demanding their breakfast. "Okay! Okay!" I grumbled as they pawed at my feet. Yawning and rubbing my eyes I sluggishly grabbed their biscuits and overfilled their bowl accidentally, "Clumsy me!" I weakly scolded myself as I walked into the lounge. The feeling of being greeted by the warm glow overwhelmed me. Letting out a deep breath, I smiled. Walking happily to the Christmas tree, I turned on the lights. As I stood up, my eyes fixed on my new model horse. Turning around to face the horse I watched it expectantly. As if it was going to come alive, "What should I call you... hmm... Aira? No... Jamie? No... wait, what about Iris!? Yes! Iris it is!" grinning wildly, I took the model from its little pedestal and over to the table, "Well since the family don't arrive until mid-day, You can accompany me for breakfast!" And so Iris did. I had a big serving of pancakes while she had a serving of fresh air and some grass. I felt silly for caring for the model as it is a real horse but I really cared for it. So that is how I spent Christmas with Iris. Well, the morning at least.
