Christmas

Authors Note: I am in the Christmas mood and we were putting up the tree so I decided to write a story about Christmas and Christmas in my shoes.

December holds my favorite holiday: Christmas. When I think of Christmas, I think of family, togetherness, laughter, snow, singing, and presents. During Christmas you sing songs about sleigh rides or reindeer. You hang up you're tree and put ornaments on it, reminding you of times that you may almost have forgotten about. You give and receive presents, drink hot cocoa, and get together with friends and family to all celebrate Jesus's Birthday.

Christmas in my house is so  much fun. It all starts on Christmas Eve when we go to a two hour Mass at St. Anthony, my Church. Then we come home and we prepare for the Nonamakers come over for Christmas Eve. We have dinner and of course have dessert. We play find the pickle where you hide a pickle in you're Christmas tree and you get prizes. Then we exchange presents and then go home. My brother Patrick, my sister Ali, and I  all sleep in the same room so then we can wake up at the same time because I usaully wake up early, and they tell me to go to bed.

Christmas morning when I wake up, I'm usually so excited to open presents and see the stuff that I get. After that we eat breakfast that is usually blueberry muffins. Then we get ready to go to my grandparent's house. There I get MORE presents and MORE food, I get to see my cousins, uncles, grandparents, and many other relatives. We play games and watch movies. My cousins and I have clubhouses where we usually plan attacks against my cousin Danny and Brian. After 10'o'clock rolls around me and my family head home and then go to bed. That's when my Christmas usually ends.

I'm sure that every other person has a different way of celebrating Christmas, but my Christmas is best. My family and I being together for Christmas is a special blessing.
