It was bright and early on Christmas morning and our tradition was to start off the day opening gifts, before we helped aunt Taehee prepare the meal. We had to make a feast today because my uncle’s family was coming over as well. I should not have stayed up talking to Daniel on the phone until the early parts of this morning, because I felt drained now. “Who could that be this early?”, Taehee asked at the knock on the front door.
