Celebrating Christmas

Jenafae

For Christmas I spend time at my house. At our house we open presents on Christmas Eve. We open almost all the presents except for one. That one we open on Christmas day, before we open presents my mom takes a picture with the family then my grandma takes a picture with my mom in the picture. Then on Christmas day first thing in the morning we open that one present. Then we have cookies and eggnog. It is fun! Also usually my dad wares a Santa suit. He looks funny! Then I go to bed. I love Christmas.

My family celebrates Christmas every year. Every Christmas morning I get up early but I don’t know why. I go out to the living room and look under the Christmas tree. There were tons of presents under there! Then I go and woke up my mom, dad, and brother. When Paul woke up [that’s my brother] he got mad at me because I woke him up so early in the morning. Anyway when we all were up we started to open presents. We always went in order. The order was youngest to oldest. I was always first to open my presents. After we would open all the presents at my house, we would go down to my grandma’s and grandpa’s house to open more gifts. Then we would eat Christmas dinner. We always had ham because it is my favorite type of meat. After we ate we would open Christmas cards. After we opened cards we would just talk. I love to celebrate Christmas with my family.

Every year for Christmas Eve we go to the candle light serves at church. They give us candles, and make the room really dark. Then we light each other’s candles. It’s fun until your arm starts to get tired. Then on Christmas Day we open presents, and dump out our stockings. We even have stockings for Peekaboo (my cat) and Rusty (Nathan’s dog)! This is our first Christmas in our new house. We usually have Christmas down in Ann Arbor, at my cousin’s house. I can’t wait till Christmas or Christmas Eve!!

My family celebrates Christmas at my house, but on Christmas Day we go to my grandma’s house. On Christmas Eve we put presents under the tree. We also put up our stockings then. Finally my sister Louise and I go to bed. On Christmas Day we get up early. We go wake up my mom and dad. They come downstairs and we open presents. Then we have cinnamon rolls and coffeecake. Usually I get books for Christmas, so for awhile I read after breakfast. Then I go on the luge. The luge is our big sledding hill. When I am done it is time to go to my grandma’s house for dinner. I like what we do for Christmas.

We celebrate New Year’s, which is also my sister’s birthday, by having a bonfire/luge party. It is really fun. Sometimes the party is a potluck dinner, too. We usually have 20-30 people there. Our New Year’s party is fun.

My family has Christmas at our house. We invite people over to come to our house Christmas Eve. My sister Meredith usually plays with her friend Taylor. My mom makes dinner at our house. After all of the kids have eaten they go outside to play. I go outside with them. We go sledding, have snowball fights, make snowmen, and I especially like the tunnel. The tunnel is at our house under some bushes. We crawl through the tunnel and out the other side. It is fun to climb over and around all the branches of the bushes. After we are done playing outside we come in, and have hot chocolate. Then we watch TV. My favorite part about Christmas Eve is when we crawl through the tunnel.

I love the holidays they are so much fun when you get to get together with your family! My family celebrates the holidays at our house, but we see our relatives to celebrate them before they come. I love Christmas the most. In my family we all get together with everyone and celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving at the same time. It is kind of weird because one minute we are talking about thanksgiving and the next we are opening presents. This year we are celebrating it around Christmas time because my Aunt Margo and Uncle Tim couldn’t make it on thanksgiving. This year will be fun. Every year we go home and open presents in order from either youngest to oldest or oldest to youngest. It is so much fun and I know this year will be great.

Santa comes over and gives us the Christmas presents that everyone brought! Then we open them! After my family leaves , we go to bed, and we wake up the next morning and we have more presents under the tree. I like celebrating Christmas.

Each year my family celebrates Christmas. We wake up on Christmas day and open gifts. Then my mom cooks us a breakfast. After breakfast I call my best friend Sarah Macpherson to see what she got. Each year my family does a family gift exchange. We all go to some ones house and give our gifts. This year we are going to go to my Aunt Kathy’s house for Christmas. We first have dinner. Then after dinner we open gifts. Each year I get something nice. Then we go back home. My brother and his girlfriend Amy come over and we give them a gift. Last year I got a black light from them.
This year will be extra special though. The reason is Saturday my neighbor called and they had their baby girl. It will be the baby’s first Christmas. I can’t wait.
I love having a week of school off. With this week of school off I can spend time on my family.
