CHRISTMAS! Anybody who doesn't get a little excited hearing those words, there is something wrong with you. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. It is a time that I get to see all my family, people are in a happy mood, and seeing a Christmas tree in my living just makes me smile.
I will talk about what I normally do on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Generally my family travel down to my grandparents house. My three other cousins and aunt join us. We have a nice family dinner of either homemade chicken and noodles, or a Christmas ham. After dinner we head over to the church for the Christmas Eve service. During the service, they give us candles and I always end up playing with the wax. When we return home, we sit in the kitchen playing card games. As it rounds time for bed, we go upstairs to go to bed. All six of us sleep in the same room. The boys normally get the feather beds on the floor, while us girls get the two beds.
The next morning when we wake up we have to make sure that everyone is up. We round everyone up into the living room and open our presents and stockings. In our stockings are lottery tickets. I never win anything thing but they are still fun to scratch off. After all of the presents have been open we go to the kitchen to have the traditional breakfast. Cinnamon rolls, homemade fruit cups, and hot chocolate.
Christmas is the best and always holds a special place in my heart.
