Examples Of Topsy Turvy Christmas Morning

Christmas, the pinnacle of every holiday and the one day in the year where families gather around, exchange gifts, and honor the birth God's son. This would be the meaning of Christmas for most families but... my family's another story. You see, my cousins make a trip from Texas to North Dakota to visit us for Christmas every year. I know what you're

I think the wise men knew something we didn’t. Seriously, when I go to a baby shower I usually bring diapers, bottles or clothing; not gold, frankincense and myrrh.

On that momentous Christmas Eve of 2013, daubs of ashen grays, splattered specks of lapis, careless streaks of pale lavender, and muted, chalky whites were smeared across the blank canvas sky, barely concealing the cold, distant stars. The sliver of the moon that was shaped as though it were a narrow, shining claw, was tied to the edge of a low hanging cloud with a thin, wisp of a string. Millions of the beautiful feathery, ice crystals were brutally thrown toward the Earth, onto the frosted, dead grass, where they joined their companions in a heap of broken, mangled snowflakes. For the ecclesiastical holiday, scintillating lights were intertwined with newly bought, plastic reindeer scattered across the yard, along with a snowman with a crooked,

We left New Year’s Eve to go snowmobiling in the hills for the weekend. I was exuberant and ready to go. We loaded the snowmobiles on to the trailer so we could leave early in the morning then we wouldn't have to do it in the morning. I went to bed so then I could get up early to make sure I had everything. I got a text from my mom and said I had to go over to grandparents to get my snow pants. I went outside to start my car so it would warm up. I let my car warm up for a couple minutes. I left our to go over to grandparents. It took me about 15 minutes to get to their house.

At Christmas, gifts are the perfect human ginger to treat everyone on your list. They're cute, delicious, and you get this feeling of childhood Christmas. This year, why not give your family and friends a creative gift that is guaranteed to be unique and original, a gift from our favorite holiday cookie: gingerbread.

“ Spirit, hear me. I am not he man I was. I will not be the man I have been for so many years. Why show me all of this if I am past all hope? Assure me that I yet may change these shadows you have shown me. Let the boy live! I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The spirits of all three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.” (Scrooge, p.140). A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is an important story as it has a meaningful theme of change, as the quotes states above. But that isn’t the only theme that this beautiful story shows us. Many different spirits encounter him to help him realize why Christmas is important (I’m pretty sure that is the meaning of the spirits). When the first spirit of the past encounters him, he realizes what he has done, and regrets some of the things he did. The second spirit helped Ebenezer Scrooge recognize how what he has been doing has had an impact in other peoples life. When the frightening third spirit came and showed him his future and others futures, he discovers about himself and how people didn’t care that he died. When we read A Christmas Carol, we learn that it can have many different themes that can be a very important component to the story and even our lives.

Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. I love seeing the shinny Christmas lights that decorates my street and the sound of fresh fallen snow on the ground. Christmas reminds me of family, the laughter and loved we shared, and the gifts we gave to each other. My house on Christmas became the center of my joy.

One chilly fall day, 14 year old Emma, and her entire family had just boarded a plane to move to Dublin Ireland. Emma was not excited because she didn't want to move away from her friends back in new york, but she had no other choice. One of the main reasons she didn't want to leave was she her best friends. She ended up convincing herself that she could make friends anywhere, it was only a matter of time. As soon as they arrived in Ireland, her parents left to go rent a car while the four children waited. Emma's two older brothers, 15 year old Joey, and 17 year old Jackson, told Emma, and the 4 year old littlest sister, Zoey, some horrifying news.

Every christmas I remember was spent in Park City Utah, gathering in front of a twelve foot tree with my cousins, tearing open colorful wrapping paper. Christmas means family, snow, skiing, and hot chocolate.

12pm Christmas day, I reached the Dallas airport. Tears cascaded down my face as I try to muffle the melancholy from my voice to say goodbye to my mother. "Goodbye mom, I love you!" as the last word slips through my mouth there was only silence with no reply. Finally, after a few minutes passed, she got the intrepidity to speak. ”goodbye” she said as she turned and left towards the door, without a look back she was gone. "Goodbye" was the final word I heard before boarding the airplane. I glanced back at my mother, since I didn 't know if I would ever see her again, but as I looked all I saw was a cold expression. It was a visage of a formerly jubilant woman and mother of two; she was an apparition of happiness

It’s a typical December 24, cold, snowy, and jolly as can be. Though my friends and I are away from the elements safe in our basement, we are playing the new Call of Duty. Spirits high, Christmas is just around the corner. L.J. a close athletic partner that I have played with for a while was at my house, he was the best Call of Duty player I knew, a tall, lean, blonde haired boy. Izak was at my house as well, a shy, orange haired kid that kept to himself most of the time. And myself, a blonde, short haired kid, somewhat short and skinny. All was normal, and fun a usual, until...

Scrooge was so excited see his grandkids again. He hasn't seen them in 2 years because they moved away ,but he is getting to see them because it's their birthday and what better place to celebrate then at his brand new mansion! He recently had a christmas bonus which for him is the equivalent of about $50,000,000,000,000,000 so like any logical duck he bought a mansion. This new mansion is has a sq footage of 1,000,000,000,000 has 100 bedrooms 200 bathrooms and so many other rooms that it would take a list 50 yards long to say them all. Even with all of this money though he wouldn't pay for transportation. He barely managed to convince himself to throw a party. They still hoped to have a good time though. 2 hours into the party though something terrible happened. “I can't find Huey Duey and Luey!” said uncle cluck. “What do you mean said Scrooge?” “What do you mean what do i mean? I can't find them!” “Did you check the 15 pools?” “Yes.” “Did you check the 17 arcades?” “Yes.” “What about the attic?” “i’ve searched this entire house top to bottom” Just as he finished his sentence Scrooge’s 300” flat screen tv dropped down from the ceiling and started playing a video. On the video Scrooge’s twin brother Puck McScrooge started talking. “I’VE TAKEN YOUR GRANDCHILDREN SCROOGE! AND I DON'T PLAN ON GIVING THEN BACK… UNLESS YOU WOULD TRADE YOUR MANSION FOR THEM! I'LL GIVE YOU 3 DAYS TO MAKE YOUR DECISION OR YOU WILL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN! I'LL BE IN TOUCH!” Puck and Scrooge were

It is Christmas morning, what does your family do? Do you sit around the Christmas tree and open presents? Do you help with making breakfast for the family? For me, the Christmas of 2008 will be one that I will never forget.

I sat awaiting all of my family members in the heat filled garage that would become much warmer as the night went on. It would be filled with loud laughter and cheering from my whole family. It would be smelling of grandma’s ham she cooked and pretzel salad my mom makes every year. I’m getting anxious as i hear a car pull up outside crunching on the black gravel. I rush to the window and see my cousins step out of the car, I rush to the door to greet them with a big smile on my face.
