Christmas is a time of joy, love, and laughter, and it’s such a splendid and special time! The sights, smells, and tastes are so delightful, and they all fill my heart with glee and delight! I love the sweet smell of sugar cookies baking, twinkling Christmas lights, and shiny wrapping paper!
In the 13 years that I have been alive, it’s always been just me and my mom, and sometimes a pet. My mom is really special. She has a caring and loving heart, even though she’s grouchy a lot. She likes Christmas, but it sometimes makes her sad. We never have a lot of money, and she thinks I deserve so much that I don’t have, but I truly don’t. This time of year is when you should spend time with your loved ones, and just enjoy the time we have

I walked up to the window, and watched the snow fall. The snowflakes fell to the ground slowly. They were crisp and cool, and each snowflake was different than the others. It was the perfect snow to make snowballs and snowmen!
After a while, Mom and I had a Christmas movie marathon! We started with “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and ended with “Frosty the Snowman.” Bella laid on the spot on the couch beside me, and fell asleep. She was breathing steadily, and she was very warm. During the middle of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” Bella decided to climb onto my lap and watch the movie with us. It was really fun!
I decided to go outside and walk around after watching movies. I stopped and saw some carolers! They sung some beautifully! The women each wore a red and green dress with a matching scarf and black, furry boots, while the men wore a Christmas shirt (each was different, and so amazing!) with a black coat, black boots, a red scarf, and black pants. One even wore a black, shiny top hat!
When I went back home, I turned on some Christmas music while drinking hot cocoa topped with whipped cream, chocolate curls, and festive sprinkles! At first, I listened to “A White Christmas,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “Let It Snow,” and the rest of the classics. Then, I started listening to more recent Christmas songs, like “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” a cover by Meghan Trainor and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by Sam Smith.
The day was

Waking up early on Christmas was always a thing my brothers and I did when we were younger. What made those moments so special was all the decorating we did in the week before. Decorating the Christmas tree was always one of my favorites. Seeing the same ornaments year after year never got old for me. I remember stringing out the tangled lights we used for the outside of the house all throughout the yard. I would hand my brothers a string of lights as he stood on the ladder supported by the house. I always enjoyed putting up the little snowman and gingerbread houses throughout my living room. As you get older all the decorating and family time seems to decline, so spending time with family on holidays were always
There is no best part of the holiday season. The holidays are a pile of overused Christmas songs mixed will divorced parents spoiling their children to make their kids like them over their ex. The large and ‘great’ holiday meals will fatten people up like its thanksgiving. The human race is crumbling under the stars of My 600 Pound life. Also, people get presents from multiple people pretending to be their friends, and the one family member they actually like. Then one will see all the children around the world awaiting some fat old man to creep into their house and steal their food. Next, one will see the bratty children running around with their new toys and screaming at the top of their lungs. One may see the author as a Grinch, but they
I get to put on my big jacket and my gloves, rushing to the school to launch poorly formed snowballs at my friends. Winter is all about Christmas though. I couldn't escape it, everything around me felt magical. My school always held activities involving Christmas somehow. Wether it be a lesson on the history of Christmas or just connect the dots that unsurprisingly managed to form a reindeer or jolly old saint Nicholas himself - it didn't matter. I was ecstatic for Christmas. When the day came, presents packed around the tree coated in fake snow, I ripped into each present with anticipation and excitement plastered over my face. A brand new update on the toys i owned. Then Christmas dinner at my grans soon after: the classic turkey and gravy shoved into my face, as my family told jokes and wore hats they got from the Christmas crackers. It was too big to fit my small head, but it was Christmas, there was no such thing as

According to Charles Dickens, “There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor” than a Christmas carol. Perhaps he is right, with the upcoming holiday season, everyone is starting to get busy preparing for “the most wonderful time of the year.” Others are actually exclaiming hallelujah! Just like this a Capella group called Pentatonix.
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 all the spices cooking down stairs. As soon as I got out of bed I will rushed down the steps into the kitchen to see what my mom had prepare for us on this special day. We had different variety of food turkey, stuffing, ham, bake beans, mac and
As a child, my family would celebrate every holiday with grandeur, especially Christmas. We have specific traditions and rituals that we carry out during the season, but the most important of our traditions is what we do on Christmas morning. Our rituals and traditions reflect our values as well as my own of family, unity, and tradition. The morning of the holiday my mother has always woken my brother and I, and then brought us to our dad so we could all walk down to the family room. As we gather in the family room around our tree and presents, my mom serves us each a piece of her Christmas casserole, saved for this special morning. Following our video-taped walk down to our presents, my brother, mother, father, and I open one gift from each other and the first thing in our stocking. After this ritual, my brother and I would go downstairs to our in-law suite where our grandmother lived, to wake up our Mimi and pull her upstairs so that we could finish opening presents and have hot chocolate with our entire family. One Christmas morning
We each take a huge breath as we step out into the crispy snow that snaps under our boots. I make my way to the front door, illuminated by the red, green, and blue Christmas lights. As I open the door and step into a house full of cheek pinches and hugs, an array of Christmas smells welcomes me and makes my mouth water. As my family and I are quickly made comfortable, I look around... All the house is full of Christmas decorations, and the carols are heard all over the house. My cousins are running, playing , and laughing.
Twas the night before Christmas, pale and yellow moonlight illuminated a house deep in the woods. Tall pine trees surrounded the house, like giants pointing at the inky black sky. Flurries of snowflakes swirled in a hurry around the house. The house stood alone and abandoned, adorned with Christmas lights, but not the ones you would see on any ordinary house. Some lights were fading, once bright and colorful but now a former shell of what they once been. Others burned out in a spark while the ones left were shattered. The front door was decorated with a rug that could be mistaken as an animal. The tree inside the house was not in the most pristine condition, either. The tree slumped in a dark corner. The top of the tree stretched out like bony fingers grasping at the air. The shiny, glinting ornaments that once fashioned the tree were now shattered. The wallpaper plastered to the wall was now peeling off, like it was rotting. The paint on anything on the house was now faded and chipping away. Stale air filled with dust occupied the house. The house was indeed creepy and not in the most pristine condition. Even more mysterious, the house would only ever appear on the night of Christmas Eve. Despite this, many local teenagers and explorers were drawn to the house. Anyone who was brave enough or dumb enough would enter and see the house in its deteriorated state. One Christmas Eve night many years ago, an explorer had stumbled across the house. He had been in the snow for what
