My Favorite Christmas Season

I can remember the Christmas morning of 2009. I ran downstairs to see what Santa had left me under the tree. When I saw the pink Barbie convertible car I started jumping up and down. I wanted to take it outside immediately and ride it. It was one of my favorite and most loved toys that I ever had. I would drive around in my Barbie car everyday around my neighborhood. My cousins and friends would come on play dates and drive my convertible around the neighborhood. My best Christmas gift was when I received my dog Chloe. I met Santa Claus in The Falls for the first

Vacations with my family are the best. We got to Lansing, Iowa every year to see my mom's side of the family. Our whole family just loves their cheese curds. We get them almost every night. I always have a blast because the town is right on the Mississippi. Every time we go we always go boating and tubing on the big Mississippi. My great grandparent and other family were and still

This season brings smiles, laughter, cheerfulness, and love to the atmosphere. Christmas, the best time of year, filled with candy canes, gingerbread houses, decorated trees, perfectly wrapped presents, and glistening lights. Everything about Christmas brings out the joy and happiness in people. Christmas is the most adored holiday for many reasons.

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

Christmas arrived during my first week home after my discharge from the army. I had been stateside six months, and when I woke up, I felt like I lost my marbles. I mean I wondered if I was an addict, an alcoholic, or insane.

Christmas is an international holiday that is beloved by many. I, however, see Christmas for what it really is. It isn’t some festive love fest that celebrates the birth of Jesus; Christmas is an allusion. Christmas has pulled the wool over the eyes of many by presenting the temptation of gifts, therefore making them oblivious to the true meaning behind the holiday. Christmas has betrayed its lineage, it has lost sight of its purpose, and it is denouncing the powerful meanings and messages for future generations to come. This holiday has been around for centuries and over the years it has become a façade and has found a way to hide what it truly stands for.

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, Present and Future. The spirits of all three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.”

Every year I celebrate Christmas with both my mom and my dad's side of the family. This year I got a new pair of Nike tennis shoes. My aunt always prepares this wild game of scavenger hunt. There are two teams the one that I was on lost. Christmas is always full of laughing

Christmas time, I love christmas time. I get to make fudge, peanut butter fudge. My great grandmother's homemade recipe that taste so good. I can never wait until this time of year, the girls in my family, my mom, my sister, and of course me would get the kitchen all to ourselves. We would get out all the supplies, there was a lot of sugar. But that was okay with me. And would start the process.

On Christmas morning I woke up at 6:30. I was so tired but still enthusiastic. I was trying so hard to get my parents to come down stairs so I could open up my presents. When they finally

I love how the holiday spirit is so apparent within everyone’s heart, home, and homes away from home and they way people come together to settle strife, even if only for a short period of time, to share in the air of warmth and happiness. I adore all of the decorations, the commercials, the songs, the shop displays, as everything seems to be filled with pure magic. Naturally, I also love the charity and gift giving between family and friends. Just last Christmas, my friends and I had a holiday party where we laughed, ate delicious desserts we made for each other, exchanged gifts, and just enjoyed each other’s company. I feel like everyone’s attitude is so much more hopeful and jolly around Christmas time, and I wish we could all work to carry that cheerful disposition all throughout the year, not just for a few weeks out of the

My Christmas break started off really relaxed and not really doing much and for the most part, just little things preparing for the big day when Christmas actually comes. We have to clean house because my grandma comes over and my mom thinks that everything has to be perfect. Christmas is my favorite time of the year because I get tons of new toys and get to spend a lot of time with family. Every year a couple days before Christmas my family gets to drive to Belton to get to spend time with my granny and have a little Christmas there with her.

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.

Christmas is meant for joy and laughter, not injuries and pain. Each year there are hundreds of injuries that occur on the morning of December 25th. When the holiday approaches Americans love to get into the Christmas spirit. Each family celebrates Christmas with their own traditions and rituals that determine their holiday activities. I would have never thought that my family’s traditions for Christmas morning would help me shape my values.

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.
