Adriana's college exams were
finished, and her task for the day was that of decorating the Christmas tree,
while her mother was at work.
"My world is certainly not
your world, Mom," she thought to herself, as she rummaged through the box
of traditional, Christmas decorations sitting on the coffee table. "These
are so obsolete! I am too embarrassed to put them on the Christmas tree. I'll
die if any of my friends come over!"
Just then, her smart phone
rang. "Let's go Christmas shopping," Tiffany, her best friend,
suggested excitedly. "I will pick you up!"
"Great, we need some new
Christmas decorations," replied Adriana.
"Got any good ideas?"
she asked Tiffany, as she got into her bright red car, ten minutes later.
"Sure do!"
"My world is certainly not
your world," thought Adriana's mother, a few hours later, as she gazed at
the Christmas tree dressed in unusual, psychedelic colors. The rest of the
living room which had been decorated the same way, looked anything but familiar to her.
The box of old, traditional
Christmas tree decorations was on the stairwell. It looked as if it had not
even been touched.
From the kitchen, she could
hear the girls giggling, happily.
"Your Mom might throw me
out on my ear," said Tiffany. "What if she doesn't like it?"
"It certainly will not be
what she expects!"
"Mom,” exclaimed Adriana,
moments later, as her mother entered the room unexpectedly. “Tiffany helped me
decorate the Christmas tree. It was so much fun! Would you like some hot
chocolate?"
"That smells really
good!" Adriana's mother was still not certain how to respond. "Well,
the Christmas tree certainly is anything but traditional, and so is our living
room," she said, after a few moments, as she sipped the hot chocolate
quietly.
“When two worlds collide,
sparks fly,” she thought to herself.
