Salley’s Winter Blues

Hey everyone,
Today is SUCH a bad day. A horrible day, even. Today, my BFF (Stoogles) and I had a HUGE fight. A gigantic fight. Maybe the biggest fight in the history of Kinzville.

What did we fight about, you ask? Christmas. Or, rather, where I’ll be spending Christmas. This year, my dad asked if I could come and visit him in West Kinzville. I usually see my dad one weekend a month (he travels a lot for his job), but he’ll be around for Christmas this year and I haven’t had Christmas with him for a really long time. My mom is going to go and stay at my grandma’s house, so she said it was fine if I wanted to go to my dad’s. I decided that it would be pretty fun to see him, and to see the rest of that side of my family. I told Stoogles the exciting news and he was SO mad. Not even regular mad. SUPER mad. When I asked why, he said that I was wrecking his Christmas! Can you believe that? I’m leaving on December 20, and apparently that’s before everyone in the ‘Kinz wanted to do our gift exchange. Stoogles said that if I’m not there, it will ruin Christmas for everyone. But especially him, because he wanted me to go to the Googles party too. He told me I should stay in Kinzville and spend Christmas with HIS family. I couldn’t believe it! He said that I was selfish for leaving. I’m SO angry. I can’t believe him. I’m not even going to walk to school with him on Monday. If Stoogles thinks he can treat me that way, he’s got another think coming!
