December 24th, Christmas Eve. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This festival is to the United States what the Spring Festival is to China.

Then, Christmas Eve is also equivalent to Chinese New Year's Eve.

On this day, all the sports leagues in the United States have a holiday to give their players a good rest, as well as to warm up for the next day's Christmas game.

Beasley slept until noon, and he rarely woke up so late since he was reborn, mainly because the arena was not open today, and he couldn't train, so he could just sleep in.

"Morning, Mom!" Downstairs into the living room, Mom Fatima Smith was cooking in the kitchen, and Beasley greeted with drooping eyelids.

"It's still early, huh? It's past 12 o'clock! Mom turned her head to look at him, and muttered, "You have to sing at night, don't you forget, I'll go and get the greeting card ready later, do you hear?" ”

"Got it!" Beasley finished answering and went to the bathroom to wash up.

At noon, after the family had lunch, Beasley went to the study to write Christmas cards, which were essential for Christmas.

He had a lot of greeting cards to write: mom and siblings, good buddies like Singler and Durant, agent Bill Duffy, and then Wade and other teammates, and he even wrote one for Riley.

The greeting card format is very simple, starting with a Merry Christmas sentence followed by a few words of blessing or a good memory between two people.

The last one is addressed to Shayk.

"My dear and charming Miss Shayk, this is our first Christmas together, and I would love to say Merry Christmas to you face to face, because this is the only way to express my heart, but unfortunately we are separated by a Pacific Ocean."

"It's very cold in Russia, you must remember to wear more clothes, my dear, don't always do too much work, you really should learn to relax yourself and enjoy the beauty of this world."

"May you be healthy and beautiful in the new year."

Finally, he picked up a pen and wrote on the back of the card: "Love you - Michael Beasley." ”

He writes with great care, and his handwriting is the neatest of all the greeting cards.

After that, he went back to his bedroom to take a nap, and at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he set out to buy something on the street and send the greeting card by the way.

The younger siblings haven't bought Christmas gifts yet, and he originally wanted to buy two toys and forget it, but when he had lunch, his younger brother Malik had already complained that he no longer wanted Christmas gifts like teddy bears and superhuman toys, so he was a little embarrassed.

Driving down the street, most of the shops have closed with closed signs, and the once-crowded Ocean Drive in Miami Beach is now full of people, with only a few yellow-skinned Asian tourists still enthusiastically snapping their cameras for photos.

After a few shopping malls that were still open, Beasley finally picked out a gift for his sister Tiffany, and he bought an authentic set of Barbie toys.

Tiffany is only 4 years old and believes that this Christmas gift will definitely delight her.

But what about Malik, the stinky boy?

Buying a Batman?

Isn't that the same nature as a Superman toy?

Buy two books to go back?

If this guy is willing to read, will he fail every exam?

Give him a basketball?

Although he does like to play basketball and watch the NBA, there is no shortage of such things at home!

Beasley's head is dead!

"By the way, which star is this stinky boy favorite? Looks like Chris Paul? As it got dark, Beasley suddenly thought of a solution, and he immediately called Wade.

"Happy Christmas Eve, Dwyan!"

"Happy Christmas Eve, Michael, is there anything you want me to do?"

"That's right, I want to give my brother a special Christmas present, can you do me a favor?"

"You say."

"How's Chris Paul doing with you?"

"Damn, he and I are good buddies!"

"My brother is a fan of his, so can you get Paul to record a video and just say 'Merry Christmas Malik'!"

"Of course, no problem, I'll send you the video later."

"Thank you then!"

"You're welcome!"

Hanging up, Beasley let out a sigh of relief, his brow furrowed, and he could imagine the imp crying after watching the video.

When we got home, we all got together for a sumptuous dinner, and Beasley's mother cooked Beasley's favorite roast chicken, and Beasley finally feasted on it. Stepfather Kelvin Kutch then lit a bonfire in the yard, and everyone moved out of their tables and chairs to party outside.

When it was completely dark, Beasley lit up all the lights on the Christmas trees, and the whole yard suddenly became brilliant.

Children frolic around the Christmas tree, adults drink and chat, and the bright moonlight spills down, forming a warm and romantic picture.

Beasley was initially reluctant to blend in with the atmosphere of the Western holiday, but he was relieved to assume that Christmas was the Spring Festival.

Later, his brother Leroy took his younger siblings out to watch a movie, and they were watching an animated movie, "Romantic Mouse," which Beasley was not interested in, so he stayed at home and talked to Shayk on the phone.

I don't know how long it will take for his Christmas card to be sent to Russia, and his mother suggested that he send an email instead, and he thinks about it, after all, it's quite popular now.

After typing out the e-card on his computer, he set a 24 o'clock schedule to post it.

In fact, he did not know that Russians profess Orthodox Christianity, and January 7 is their Christmas.

And the Christmas gift for Shayk is not as vague as the greeting card, which had been sent a week ago, and he asked someone to buy a jade bracelet, which looks very good, and of course the price is not cheap.

A little later, Le Roy and the others returned, and it was a little cold, so everyone added a coat to it.

Wade sent a text message at this time: Michael, I have sent you the video.

Beasley immediately replied: Thank you so much Dwyan, by the way, you remember to thank Chris for me, next time I will invite him to dinner.

Wade: Then you have to be careful, Chris's appetite can make you poor!

Beasley: ......

Well, Paul is a little strong.

The "Annunciation" was one of the most interesting activities of the evening, symbolizing the angels announcing the good news of Christ's birth to the shepherds on the outskirts of Bethlehem. In the middle of the night, the choir in the church went from house to house to the door of the congregation and sang Christmas carols in unison. So the family would go out and entertain them enthusiastically and join in the singing.

After singing, the host invited everyone into the house and entertained them with refreshments.

After a bit of laughter, the choir would go to someone else's house to sing, and the host family would often go with them. The procession of "good news" became larger and larger, and the joyful atmosphere continued unabated, often lasting until dawn.

Beasley was very happy to participate in such family activities, the atmosphere was good, and the kids should go back to bed at this point.

Before going to bed, Malik also specially prepared a super large Christmas stocking to put at the head of the bed.

"Brother, can you tell me what Santa Claus will prepare for me?"

"How do I know that!"

"I want a season ticket to the New Orleans Hornets so I can see Chris play every day!"

Beasley shook his head and smiled wryly, wondering how the little imp would react when he saw the video.

Then he covered Malik with a quilt and kissed him lightly on the forehead, "Good dreams, my brother! ”

Then he went out and followed the elders to join the team of "good news".

In the early hours of the morning, the night sky is lit up by colorful lights on the ground.

The choir's singing encircles the country and helps the children sleep peacefully on this unique night.

PS: The second shift is in the early hours of the morning.
