When Christmas comes calling...

It was Christmas night, the old couple waited anxiously for the arrival of their son and grandchildren to share that special day.

"He promised me" , she said while serving the table, he would say instead: "Do not waste your time, dear, as each year they will not come, place only two dishes" , but she ignored him and sat looking at the clock waiting the hour when the door opened to receive them with open arms and embrace them, but that never happened.

Today I regret not to enjoy Christmas with my parents, to spend it with my friends instead of with them, I have promised each year that i would go but I did not, that breaks my soul because my dear parents are not here anymore.

Today I am already old, sitting alone at the table reliving the same thing but with my children, i know, they are young and it is boring to them to spend these days with the old ones at home.

The moment i was about to eat, i heard a
thunderously grannnnddpaaaaa merry Christmasss. I quickly ran to the door, i hugged them and it was at that moment When Christmas Came Calling.
