I just cannot believe it is almost Christmas time already. I could not be more ecstatic! Christmas is the best holiday for me and my family. My husband has three children Christian, Ethan, and Kayla. All three of the children live with us, as the biological mother is not involved. I raise them just like they are my own. Christian is the oldest child, and Kayla is the youngest child in the family. Christmas has always been a huge deal in my family, with the tree, the lights, and the music. We enjoy listening to Christmas music while engaging in the Christmas spirit. For us, the three most cherished joys of Christmas are putting up the tall luscious green Christmas tree, driving through the beaming display of Christmas lights, and the best part …show more content…
Every year we drive out of town to drive through the Christmas lights and scenery. Christian, Ethan and, Kayla become overly excited the whole way there. As dusk starts to fall we arrive, the front gate tells us tune in our radio station to 96.3. I turn to that radio station and slow calming Christmas music starts to flow through the speakers. It is so relaxing. We start to head down the black paved path with big red and white candy canes leading the way. There are bright lights everywhere. My eyes try to focus in on one particular section of lights, but my eyes cannot there are so many. Even so, it is so beautiful. The kids are in the back seat just gazing out windows, not even saying a word. As we slowly get closer we notice the light are on buildings. Some lights going straight across others going diagonal across the buildings. The beaming lights are everywhere to the left and to the right. The lights even move with the rhythm of the slow calming music. All you see are red, green, yellow, pink, and blue lights bursting with color moving in motion with the song. It is amazing. As the car keeps moving along the path the manger with baby Jesus is up next. When you pull up to this barn with an open front, and hay for the flooring. Mary, Joseph, the wise men, baby Jesus, and animals our all there. Suddenly, the music stops and a story begins to play the birth of Jesus. My kids love listening to the story. After the story is finished we follow the path to the exit. All of a sudden everyone is talking saying “Did you see the when the lights went back and forth?” “Did you see the manger scene?” We all talk about it the whole way home. It is an experience all in its self. I am glad that the music and Christmas lights can bring my family
Family portrays an important part in Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol throughout the entire story. The three main points I am going to focus on are Scrooge’s relationship with Fred and family, Bob Cratchit’s family, and the effect Scrooge’s approach towards finances, work, and peers had on his relationships.
When I was a kid, Christmastime was always very special too me and it still is today, I had to discern whether or not to open the presents when everyone else was still sleeping or to be patient
I am warmed in the morning with the lingering spices from the kitchen as I begin to work up my appetite. I walk downstairs to the cornucopia baskets and thanksgiving wreaths that bring the lively autumn scene. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday time together with my family because it is the one time out of the year in which my entire family from all over the country comes together, to giving a feeling of unity. I walk into the kitchen to a smile from my mom as she reminds me to wash my hands. It is not time to eat yet, but just as every other year, she hands me the fresh green beans to help her prepare the last dish, the green been casserole. The dish often does not hold significance to many but depicts a symbol of unity as I reflect on the times with my family. For some, a casserole can date back to mark a period of struggle in American history, but the idea of a
Christmas is coming and it's always fun. It is not always just about the gifts, but getting gifts is fun. There is always a huge pile of gift under my grandparents tree. We usually eat lunch and then open up the gifts. I love christmas eve at home though. We go to the longest night service a are church. Then in the morning we open are stockings and presents.
Christmas is a happy time of the year were many people tell tale about the birth of Jesus, and to visit their families or friends in a warm house to see the white pale snow trilling down like the silver rain does throughout spring. On every christmas eve i sit down and ponder on the couch looking at the radiants lights danced off and on thinking about what am i getting on christmas, after enjoying some of the slice I carefully drink the sugary brown and white swirls spinning in unison. Also on christmas eve we often see the movie Polar Express, I look at the upbeat kids trying to understand the movie. At 4 in the morning my older brother always wake me up and tells me you wake up the burned out kids from their beds, after waking up the
It is my favorite season and holiday of the year and it is best experienced in New York City. Back in my country, Turkey, we don 't celebrate Christmas but we do decorate the streets and our homes during New Year, but Christmas has a whole lot different feeling. Before I got to college, my dad used to drive us around towns in New Jersey during Christmas time and we would choose the best-decorated town or a home. In Jersey, some people go to the extremes of decorating their houses and you would only see a house that is made of lights. These lights would warm up the cold weather outside. It symbolized unity, family, and love. I always feel like everyone forgives each other at this time of the year, they call each other if they have not for a long time and sends each other cards and gives each other gifts. There is more to Christmas just decorations and gifts of course. The religious belief and the story of Jesus Christ should not be forgotten. Unfortunately, I also believe that this day was taken advantage of to boost up the economy. But on the other hand, it brings people together and closer. I like to walk by Rockefeller Center on Christmas day, not just because the big Christmas tree is there, but because the light shows and store window decorations take me back in time and make me feel like a kid on a wonderland. It is like

I love Christmas. I think it is the most wonderful day of the year.When my calander mark December 26 butterflies flutter around my stomach and I feel like a kid in the candy store . I love this day so much because I eat delicious food, see my family, and receive presents.
It is a time to spread the love that Jesus so happily gave to us and it is a time to share His story. How will today’s children ever know the meaning behind Christmas if someone does not tell them? It is important that children today not only believe in Santa and have great imaginations, but, that they believe in Jesus Christ and Him being the reason we celebrate Christmas. It is important that children obtain real world knowledge and begin obtaining that knowledge at a young
As I look out my window I see tiny snowflakes slowly drifting down. I can hear the roar of laughter coming from the living room downstairs. Soon enough Saint Nick will be upon us. Christmas always brings everyone home for the holidays. Christmas is my favorite holiday because of the traditions my families and I celebrate that include our Christmas Eve routine, Christmas morning routine, and giving back to our community.
Christmastime was always a magical time of year for me. The beautifully decorated shopping malls, with toys everywhere you looked, always fascinated me. And the houses, with the way their lights would glow upon the glistening snow at night, always seemed to calm me. But decorating the Christmas tree and falling asleep underneath the warm glow of the lights, in awe that Santa Claus would soon be there, was the best part of it all. As a child, these things enchanted me. Sure, the presents were great, but the excitement and mystery of Christmas; I loved most of all. Believing…that’s what it was all about. Believing there really was a Santa and waking up Christmas morning, realizing he’d come, as my sleepy eyes focused on all the fancily wrapped presents before me.
Christmas is my favorite holiday because it is the time of year that everyone should spend with their family and friends loving them unconditionally. Every Christmas, my family and I, on my mother 's side, join together on Christmas Eve to be able to spend time with the ones which we love. Considering that my family loves to eat, my grandmother cooks a ginormous feast! My grandmother loves to cook, but on Christmas she goes crazy. She cooks dressing, corn, potatoes, macaroni, green beans, sweet potato casserole, and my favorite pecan pie. After making sure everyone gets enough food, we all join in the living room to share stories and open our presents. My cousin, Brady Parker, always finds a way to make
We spend the day baking cookies, making fudge and preparing a big Christmas dinner, with all the trimmings. The children love to see each other. They spend the day playing games and sharing their new gifts and toys that Santa Claus brought for each of them. They get so eager to decorate, that it is hard to restrain them.Decorating for Christmas is so much fun. My father always draws a new background scenery, for the Nativity scene, that he displays, every year. He, my brother-in-laws and my husband start with the decorations for the outside of the house and the front yard.
Ever since I could remember, I have spent Christmas at my grandmother’s house, a house which is full of comfort, warmth, and happiness. At Christmas, I have always been able to escape the cold and dark real world allowing myself to truly enjoy just several moments in time. These moments have left impressionable memories from my childhood making Christmas a holiday that is special to me and my family. It is a time for my family to get together, share stories, laugh, and even cry.
