Best Gift

One holiday memory that will always stand out to me is my all-time favorite gift. My cousin and I have always been close since we were little, and he had started moving around a lot so I really didn’t get to see him that much. So one year my family decided to surprise me with a big wrapped up box. It just wasn’t any big present. It was a suit case inside the box, and inside this suit case there was a plane ticket to caribou Maine airport. Caribou is where my cousin had moved to, I haven’t seen him for multiple years. This present meant so much to me at the time, because he and I bonded over anything. We had so much fun together, and I didn’t get to see him for multiple years.  I was in Maine for a week, during this week there was 5 foot of snow on the ground, so we had a lot fun during this time. This was the first time I have ever seen a moose in person. We all rented snowmobiles, and took a trip throughout Caribou. While I was in Maine for this week, I fell asleep on the couch for a little bit and I had a very rude awakening. I was shocked by a dog collar on the neck out of dead sleep and I was awaken.
