The Chapman Family Analysis

Family is a grand thing, and I think that is the reason that God created it the way he did. It’s full of many members that come together to love and care about one another. Maybe I’m partial, but I think that my family is the best. Family dinner once a week and twice on holidays, worshiping together at our church, coming together with people that you love is an amazing thing. We tell each other about our week, and our older relatives tell us of how things used to be. The stories are one of my favorite parts. Countless stories are passed down through the generations in every family. Tales that tell of how we came to be and the trials that ancestors before us went through and learned from. Every family’s story is unique, including mine. The story my family tells most often, is the story of Phillip Hamman.

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

My family Is a plays a big part in my life. Without my family i am nothing. My family means so much to me, they are always there for me. They come to every sport game I have. They buy me

Moreover, my family has always been very accepting on what I do. In spite of the fact that I feel like my mom has supported and understood me the most, my whole family has always been there. They always make sure that I have complete coherence that everything I do has a consequence. A balance of both sides is always maintained in my house hold in order to make proper decisions. What makes my family unique is

Then we go to my grandma's and me and my cousins do stuff like play outside. Some people might not even celebrate thanksgiving. Then we go inside and my dad cuts the turkey. Which some people might just eat ham during thanksgiving or something else. When we had thanksgiving when my grandpa and uncle were still alive me and my cousins would go to the basement and hang out with my grandpa. Then later at night we would hang out with my uncle. Some people might even go out to a restaurant because they probably don't want to cook. My grandma thinks the same thing after Thanksgiving. But

My family are like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, at different paces but our roots will always run deep. Family will always come first to me, above all else; coming from a home with no father, the only father figure i had was my grandfather, to me family is so important because it is who we come from. Family

When we encounter any difficulties and trouble, our families were always in our side. They are willing to protect us from any enemies, they support us in any dreams we want and they love us eternally without any conditions.

I could talk wonders about my family, but let’s face it the good stuff tends to bore us while the bad things tend to call our attention. My family has it all, the good and the bad. I would say my family should have its own reality television show where every week the viewers would stay tuned in because my family is dramatic, let me clarify that, my family is super, mega, dramatic. Plus, what Hispanic family doesn’t have drama, right? My family has it all, the chisme, drama, and jealousy. I am making my family sound bad, but in reality they are not. My family is very sweet, loving, and caring. Not only do those qualities belong to my family but I tend to come from a very supporting family, even though my parents divorced when I was 15.

We always eat around 12:30 then we lay down and take naps or watch football. There is always an abundant amount of food on the table before we eat most of it. I help my grandma every year make the deserts. We adorn the cookies with sprinkles frosting. After about an hour after watching football or sleeping we go play football. But no matter what we play football everyone plays. My aunt broke we toe one year because she was not smart enough to wear shoes, she was mad but I thought it was pretty comical.

My family always wanted everyone to be happy, so we always go somewhere for a day or take them shopping. It is mostly like a ritual we do for that one family or kid that we surprise the kid or family for the day, so it is like a Christmas for the child or family.

My family celebrates in many different ways.For ThanksGiving my family gathers at my grandma's house or at my aunt's house for a family diner.Sometimes we eat Turkey but sometimes we don't.Most of the time we celebrate thanksgiving we just gather together at a family member's house and eat an every day meal and chat.The last time we ate Turkey was about two years ago at my grandmas house.Most of the time when we celebrate thanksgiving we usually eat Beans,Rice, and some carne asada.For christmas,we celebrate in a whole diffrent way.My family and I usually always fix the house up for christmas.We decorate outside with christmas lights.We put up the christmas tree and we decorate the living room,kitchen and the rooms.On christmas eve we usually

On Christmas, the whole family gathers at grandfather's house to eat together. We start lighting the candles and decorating the table to eat. When the feast is ready, everyone must sit around the table and wait until everyone has the food. Nobody of the family can eat until everyone has their food. The person in charge of serving the food to everyone is the family aunt and the family mother, and in the same way, family aunt and mother clean the table when finish eating. A difference of Christmas and New Years is can go to friends' houses before to eat with family at home. People from Peru must go out to celebrate on the street with the neighbors and all the streets are decorated with balloons, candies and music. These are the differences of setting on Christmas and New Years in

One of these is that on Thanksgiving everybody comes together to my parents’ house in New Jersey for a huge feast. On Christmas only my mother and the children (me and my brother) travel to Illinois to spend a week with my grandparents. On New Years Eve we all get together at my parents’ house in New Jersey and toast to the New Year with champagne and apple cider. During Labor Day weekend all of my family travels to South Jersey to my grandfathers’ condo. We usually spend all of our time on the beach and barbequing, except on Sunday when we go to church. After all, my grandfather is a minister. One of our biggest family traditions is going back to Puerto Rico. Every year my mother and I travel back to Puerto Rico for a portion of our summer vacation. Now that I am older I travel there more often and stay there much longer. My father never joins because he doesn’t like my mothers side of the father too much and he thinks that we when we speak Spanish we are all plotting against him. Of course that’s not true though. My bother doesn’t speak Spanish so he doesn’t like to go either. I guess that tradition is one that belongs solely to my mother and I.

Since my family lived so close together, we had many family traditions that remain important. We gather for nearly every holiday for a meal and routine. For Easter every year, we have an Easter egg hunt and dinner at my grandmother’s house. For Christmas Eve, we always went to my great-grandparents house and had dinner and exchanged gifts. For Christmas, we celebrated at home, and then went to my grandmother's for breakfast with our cousins. The importance of all of the holidays we celebrated was that no matter what was going on in our lives,

No one can’t meet a family like mine’s. My family is well diversified. Every family member plays an important role in all my family’s lives. In my family, there are four people: my father, my mother, my little brother and me. My father is one who brings money home and is also responsible for organizing and planning family trips. My mother is the one who is in charge for making meals and makes sure everyone eats at the appropriate times. My little brother is the pet of the family. He actually doesn’t have any responsibilities, for he’s the pet. I am the rock of support in my family. I always go beyond my parents’ expectations. I also support my younger cousins and little brother, by being a role model that they can look up to. Another
