Winter Break Story

            This winter break was not unlike any other holiday off of school, uneventful and seemingly short. However, I did manage to get off the couch and do something in celebration of the holidays this year. Sarah Wright had organized a small social gathering at her house in celebration of the New Year; a group of six or so people showed up and we all played cards and watched some television. Naturally, we watched the ball drop as well. The highlight of the night had to be when Sarah chewed out the employee at Pizza Hut over the phone; she’d ordered pizza six hours before and still hadn’t gotten it. Eventually, she canceled the order and called Marco’s instead. Marco’s only had a fifteen-minute wait for pick-up so we sent Ricky and a couple others to get it. While they were gone, however, the Pizza Hut guy showed up at the door with the now eight-hour late pizzas. I felt bad because he’d been driving around in the cold all night and the people before us sent him away complaining about their wait. So, I paid for the pizzas and tipped him accordingly since he’d come by for no reason. Off he went and Ricky returned shortly after with the Marco’s pizzas. Thus ends my New Year’s story, a bit of giving for a chipper end.
