Christmas is here, Christmas is here the day the party was, a day to remember everyone laughing and opening presents, kids run up and down but the best part was seeing my Grandma. Those chocolate chip and butterscotch chip cookies, grandma make your mouth water with the delicious taste. We call Grandma, Mamaw Sue because grandpa calls me sammy-bo and so I started calling him Darln , I don’t remember how my grandma got her name. Anyways Mamaw Sue is special to me because she is funny, loving, giving
r 2017 “My favorite holiday” 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. I remember waking up on Christmas day with a huge smile on my face, heart full of joy, and my stomach barking. I can smell
and saw my parents hanging up our Christmas lights in the soft, falling snow. The aroma of gingerbread cookies floated in the air. I was wrapped up in a fuzzy, red blanket lounging on our black, leather couch, watching the Christmas special on tv. It was Christmas Eve so as usual my parents who were the last minute kind of people were hanging up the rest of our Christmas decorations and lights. Here in Riverbend Estates, everyone went all out with the Christmas decorations. Walking down our street
I sent my brother to the hospital and ruined his Christmas break one year when I lived in Canada during the holiday season which started in December not in November like here in the US because our Thanksgiving falls on the first Monday in October. So, we usually start to decorate for the holidays the first week of December. In my house, every year we would pull all the decorations up from the basement to me it was a big deal for the boxes were huge that this funny musty smell to them because basement
It's Christmas Eve and I scurry about the house getting ready for the party. Sense I live by myself I had plenty of time to set up Christmas decorations and it was that ample time that made my house a vibrantly lit and covered in lavish decorations of Santa and his minions. The smell of ham permeated the air as I giddily pranced towards the oven putting on mittens to take out the supple honey ham. I brought my nose up close to the ham smelling deeply before I said "Aww that golden brown meat
Ever since I was younger, decorating our Christmas tree has always been a big deal in my family. We decorate just about two weeks before Christmas, always on a Sunday night after our family dinner. This night has always been special to me, in fact it is probably one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season. My grandparents who are local come over, we turn on Christmas music, and the fireplace. We have Christmas cookies with hot chocolate and just make a night of it. The last part of the night
Topsy Turvy Christmas Morning Feelings of joy when giving gifts to loved ones; sweet, rich scents of delicious warm Swiss Miss hot chocolate; harmonious tunes of beautiful snowflakes, and bright red carriages pulled by reindeer. And of course, the glimmering white snow that brings an ecstatic feeling of happiness every year on first snowfall, as if the world has never seen it before. There truly is nothing not to love about Christmas. That is, of course, until that beautiful white snow I have always
winter I think of being bundled up in an electric blanket, sitting back watching Christmas shows on Hallmark with a nice, warm cup of hot chocolate with mini marshmallows, and wearing warm fuzzy socks with aloe in them. The thing that makes winter the most amazing part is knowing Christmas is right around the corner. Christmas may not be a big deal in all houses, but in my house, we know the usual Christmas morning routine. The morning usually starts off by my dad getting up to start the
The Christmas pack up our stuff really quick and get on our way. I had just gotten my bags packed and so I took them out into the living room so my dad could take them out to the car. I walked back into my Christmas has always been my favorite holiday! I’ve never known why it is my favorite, but it just always has been. There's a lot of different family traditions when it comes to Christmas. Some can get pretty extreme, like covering your house with flashy lights from top to bottom. Anyway, my
It is the day before Christmas Eve, “Christmas Adam” as my little sisters call it. The snow is quilted across West Jordan, but we brave the slick roads to shop for last minute gifts, extra Scotch tape, and candy. After gathering everything we could possibly need for the next two days, we wait in line at the register until New Year’s – each minute feels like an entire day. The cashier makes small talk with Mom about the snowfall while my siblings and I bag. When the cashier gets to the ten, fist-sized
