I still remember it，like it was yesterday when my parents told me the news. It was the week before Christmas on Thursday morning when my parents said, “Stacy, start packing your things so we can go to Florida for the holidays.”
“Okay, ”I responded.We do this every year for Christmas and New Year. It’s kind of a family tradition we have.We go every year because we like to visit some family members living in Florida.There has never been a year when we’ve missed a trip to Florida for the holidays. I was so excited to go on this trip because Christmas is my favorite holiday, but to top it off I was going to get to celebrate it with my family.
The next morning, my mother entered my room. “Stacy, wake up! We need to go to the airport so that we can get our plane tickets to Florida before they sell out.”
I jumped out of bed and got ready as fast as I could.When we were on our way to the airport，I couldn’t stop talking and smiling because I was too excited about getting our tickets.
“Aren’t you just excited to go to Florida?” I asked.
“Yes, I am.We can finally catch up with the family and drink hot cocoa,” responded my mother.
The airport was so crowded
Some people were leaving to other countries and others were just visiting for the holiday. There was such a huge line in the airport because so many different people were buying plane tickets.
When it was our turn, my mother said, “Three tickets to Florida on Christmas Eve please.”
The lady working there responded, “Well, you guys are lucky.You got the last three tickets to Florida.”
My mother and I both smiled in relief and paid for our tickets and went back home to finish packing.

【答案】When we arrived home, we found father was lying on the floor, bleeding. Though we felt very surprised, we sent him to hospital at once.With the help of doctors, my father came back to life on Christmas Eve, which made our family pleased. My parents loved each other very much, so my mother kept my father company day and night, completely forgetting the trip to Florida. After my father woke up, he said sorry to us and told us everything that happened to him.
After we left for the airport to buy tickets, a man climbed into our house to steal money. My father caught him and bravely fought with him, but unfortunately the man hurt my father. Hearing the news，we were proud of him. On Christmas Eve, we held a party in hospital for my father. Everyone got together around the Christmas tree and sang Christmas songs to him.That Christmas Eve was quite unusual and meaningful. I will never forget the time I spent with my father on Christmas Eve in hospital.
