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 think Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. Maybe because of the special atmosphere that you can feel everywhere, in shops, restaurants , pubs and even streets, where you can hear the magical carols, or maybe it's because of its religious background, but what I can tell you for sure is that I can't think of anything more exciting than the image of the entire family preparing the Christmas Tree or fixing the Christmas dishes.

My family’s Christmas is usually pretty average. We don't usually start decorating until after Thanksgiving even though a lot of people start to decorate the minute after Halloween gets over. We have these great big tubs that have all out Christmas stuff stored inside, and me and my sisters always argue over who has to take them up. Once we settle our argument it;s time to start decorating! First we usually put up all the shelf decorations and then the ones you have to hang up on the wall. The last thing we usually do is put up the Christmas tree. This is always the stressful part because we can never figure out what part goes where, and how to work the lights. After we finally figure it out we cover the whole tree in ornaments. We always have so many that you can barely tell

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.

The first step to decorating or doing anything is to have the christmas spirit. If you don't have the christmas spirit then I don’t know what to tell you but none of the rest of the steps matter if you don’t have the christmas spirit. It’s almost like saying that you are professionally playing a sport that you know nothing about. Not happening! So if you are not in the christmas spirit then decorating will not be fun, entertaining or any kinds of easy. Things to get you in the christmas spirit would be going to the store and looking at the christmas section or looking on pinterest or google for inspiration. Even making christmas sweaters with your grandma may help. Do something festive to get your christmas spirit to the max.

In our house lasagna is a dish made for special occasions, my mom is the only one that makes it. Every year, before my grandfather passed away, my mom would make lasagna for my brother, father, grandfather, and I. When I was in elementary school my grandfather and grandmother got divorced, they couldn’t even be in the same room together. Therefore, in order to be able to spend time with both of them during the holidays we would need to have two of each holiday. Christmas Eve is when we would have Christmas with my grandfather. Lasagna isn’t just my favorite meal because it tastes good, it is the memories of my grandfather’s strength and fight that are associated with it that makes the meal special.

In the story of A Christmas Carol Marley started out dead as a doornail and like normal Scrooge is an old bitter, greedy man who hates Christmas, feelings, love and happiness. People around him think that Scrooge is a pain and an unfriendly person to be around during the holidays. He always acted like an old sinner who doesn’t like anything. Nevertheless Scrooge is a tight fisted hand at the grindstone! Nobody really liked him because he never made friends and never really interacted with anyone. Scrooge has thin legs, a pointed nose and a cracked voice. In the first stave Marley came to Scrooge and told him what was yet to come and how he was always beside him watching him do things. Once Marley vanished Scrooge went to bed not thinking about the first spirit. The clock went faster than normal and Scrooge wondered why and started to freak out and soon the first spirit appeared. When the spirit came, she said “I’m The Ghost of Christmas Past.” Scrooge was frightened and blinded by the light from the spirit. In the past of Scrooge were so many memories that mattered to him. Some of those memories that Scrooge had were great and many of them were not and but that's what gave Scrooge feelings. According to the text Scrooge sobbed when he saw some of the memories. So that must mean that he smiled when he saw some of the memories. After the spirit left Scrooge he had found out that his character needed improvement.The Ghost of Christmas Past affected Scrooge by

We walk in and the atmosphere fills me with joy; I hear children yelling on roller coasters, the amazing aroma of greasy, fried pork rinds, seeing smiles everywhere, it just sets the mood of having a great day. My family and I are at the famous theme park, Silver Dollar City. We have had a lasting tradition of visiting, every Christmas holiday and enjoying the sights and sounds of this amazing place. Our first stop is the store, Christmas Hollow, where Christmas is everywhere. Bright lights are throughout the whole store, while the smell of cinnamon and peppermint fill the air. I walk very carefully; not wanting to break any of the very fragile glass all around me. Finally, my favorite item, the nutcrackers; even though I have a crowd of them at home, I always want another. I love the way they stand so tall and so straight, almost as if they were real.

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.

It was the two days before Christmas. Santa was getting every excited for his trip and he was also getting very tired.

It was four days before when Christmas, Doug Walker turned on the radio to listen to the local traffic while he dressed for work. He listened as the announcer discussed a miracle in their small town, “Parents are in an uproar trying to convince their children Santa Claus doesn’t grant everyone’s Christmas’ wish. No one can explain the perfect gifts found on front porches all over the city.” Turning up the radio, Doug called out, “Hey, Nancy, did you hear about the ‘nutty’ things happening around here?”

The aftermath of Christmas day still littered the dining room floor. A sea of red, green and Disney princess wrapping paper. The stockings were still hung along the stair case, they didn’t fit on the fireplace. Each one hung empty, though the excitements of the previous day still lingered. I sluggishly picked myself out of my bed and walked toward my little sisters room. I could hear their small voices calling for me to help them out of their cribs. I lifted each twin out and onto the wooden floor. As their small feet hit the floor they dashed for the stairs out of pure anticipation for the exciting day ahead. I held their small hands as they climbed down the stairs precariously. First up today was to take all our Christmas gifts up to our bedrooms to save our mum from going ballistic about already broken toys.

Six years ago, I had one of the best Christmas of all times. I have never told my parents what I want for Christmas, they just give me something that I wanted but that I never thought about. (For example, they gave me the Beats headphones last year, and even though I did not ask for them I really wanted them.) My parents always surprise me with awesome gifts, but that Christmas, they completely exceeded my expectations.
