When I think of Christmas, I think of giving to family, friends, and people who can’t afford gifts. I also think about fresh cookies that just came out of the oven. For me, Christmas is the season of giving. But, receiving presents is fun, too! The tree is put up. The stockings are hung with care. With wishes that Saint Nick will soon be there. During Christmas, my family always has a big breakfast. Then, we open the presents. Last, we usually watch a movie. My Christmas wish is to get the Wings of Fire graphic novel.

When I think of Christmas I think of me and my cousins sledding down a steep hill together or building a fort. Me, Sonnie and Rio built a fort at our grandma's house and it was really fun building it. I also like going to my other grandma's house and sledding down a really big and steep hill with my cousins. For me Christmas is seeing family and eating fresh baked cookies and seeing far away families too. My favorite cookie is most cookies unless it has raisins in them. During Christmas my family always has a rule that you have to wake everyone up before you go into the living room. I’m usually the first to wake up on Christmas day so I wake my sister up so she can go and wake my mom and dad up and then I wake up my brother and his room is downstairs so it takes me a while to get him. My Christmas wish is that the people with cancer or really sick have someone or something that makes them smile on Christmas day. I hope that you have a great christmas.
