My sisters and I
Decorate the tree
With beautiful ornaments
And on the top
A lovely star
That my youngest sister made
My parents don't stop complimenting us
On how we've decorated the tree
And how proud they are of us, especially me
My friends come over
And I'm not afraid
That my parents will get drunk
And fight like they use to
Things are better now
My mom smiles, for the first time
In, I can't remember when
And my dad laughs and jokes around
We all have a good time
After all the fun
My grandparents come over
My dad talks to his mom
And they get along fine
We have a wonderful feast
(like the one at the end of the Grinch)
And everything is wonderful
Its nothing like what it was before
Author notes
Okay. I hope that this is happy. Its really hard for me to feel happy right now. Oh, and this is like the complete oppisite of my Christmas, but you said it didn't matter if happen or not. So here it is. Hope its good enough. Much love!

It is happy, and good luck in this contest. I'm sorry your Christmas didn't seem to go so great like your author's comment insinuated.
