My favorite holiday would definitely have to be Christmas. Everything about Christmas is just so spirit lifting! I love when it first starts to turn into that chilly month of December and the snow starts to fall. This means, time to pull out the winter boots, sweaters and gloves! Every year a little after Thanksgiving my family and I set aside time to put up our Christmas tree together. My dad sets it up, my mom puts on the garland and my sister and i decorate the tree with the ornaments. This has always been our little tree assembling tradition. I also help my mom to make the Christmas cut out cookies. She is in charge of making the dough and baking the cookies and it is my job to decorate them. After getting all prepared and Christmas Eve finally rolls around, my relatives on my mom’s side of the family all come over to my house to celebrate this special holiday. After eating a delicious homemade meal that everyone contributes to, it’s time for presents! My sister and I help to distribute the gifts from under the tree to everyone in my family. After everyone opens presents and says their thank yous, everyone just relaxes and enjoys eating their desserts and catching up. After celebrating with my family and everyone leaves, I head straight to bed and cannot wait for Christmas morning to finally come. I am usually the first one up in my house and I never fail to go and jump on everyone to wake up! When I am all done opening my presents I am so elated and thankful for the new items that I received. Then, my family and I enjoy breakfast together, get ready and head to church. After church the family gatherings continue. On Christmas day my dad’s side of the family all meet at my grandma’s house for dinner and presents. Every year my Christmas is always filled with love and excitement. Not only do I love Christmas for the presents and delicious food, but also because it is a time when I am able to really spend a lot of time with the ones I love.
