Happy Holidays!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, we are headed into the Christmas season. Write a good paragraph describing your family's holiday traditions. Do you always go to a particular house? Do you eat at a particular restaurant? Do you always see a new movie or go caroling? Tell us about your holidays.

  1. Usually during the Christmas holidays my Dad puts up this poster he draws to mark the days off until Christmas day. All of us try to decorate a Christmas tree when we can. On Christmas day we wait until at least six in the morning to rush down and open our stockings and presents. Also my Mom usually makes either pancakes or waffles and sometimes something else. That is how my family celebrates Christmas!

  2. During the Christmas holidays, my family spends time over one anothers homes. At our house my mom allows me to open one present on Christmas Eve. This is a tradition we celebrate every Christmas. We usually do last minute Christmas shopping during the holidays, go to the movies, and eat out. One celebration that brings our family together is Kwanzaa. We all go to my aunts home, eat,and discuss the 7 principles of Kwanzaa.

  9. When it's Christmas, my family has a few different traditions. On Christmas eve, both of my sisters, and my niece and nephew come over to open their presents, and we open the presents that are from them. We always see a amazing movie right after m my Dad's company's big, delicious Christmas breakfast. These are some of my family traditions.

  10. My holiday traditions for Christmas are really fun and exciting. First I get up super early in the morning. I wake my mom, dad, and brother to get out of bed. Then I run to the living room (where the Christmas tree and presents are). After that we call our grandparents to join us. When they come to our house it's present opening time! Our stockings our full of candy and other goods!

    While we open our presents my mom takes pictures of us. Finally we have a special Christmas brunch. My mother bakes and cooks delicious food. while eating our brunch we talk about what we got. Sometimes we play our games after brunch. After those games our grandparents leave. Then we spend the rest of the day having a blast!

  13. What my family traditions for Christmas is we have a family lunch and dinner and we see a Christmas movie at night. We open our presents in the morning and I usually wake up earlier than my brothers. What we do before Christmas is we read the Night Before Christmas and I read it last year. We have a Santa to hand out the presents and I did that last year too. Usually we go to my aunts house for Christmas. That's what my traditions are for Christmas.

  14. One of my Christmas traditions changed this year. My cousins, second cousins, and I, used to always go to my Nana's house, but this year everybody is coming to my house. We always went Christmas Eve with everyone, but on Christmas morning it's just my Grandparents, cousins, and I. We always have ham on Christmas Eve with a bunch of sides. In the morning we have eggs and a variety of other foods. My Christmas is all about family!

  15. My Christmas is a year changing thing. One year is at my grandparent's house, the next is our house. One of the things we do is rosting hotdogs over the fire. So I have fun no matter what the circumstances. Christmas morning is wonderful for me every year.

  16. Well, near Christmas we get our Christmas tree and we all decorate it until we are tired. Then, on Christmas Day we go to Clarksville and eat Chinese food with my family. It's a weird Christmas tradition, but we do it every year. That is my family tradition.

  17. I for one love the holidays because we all get a break from school and get to our families at home and relatives. My holiday tradition is to put up the Christmas tree and go to Hilton head but we usually bring our dog and ask our neighbors to watch the other pets. Some times do we even bring along my Grandparents and Nana, Papa and others.

  18. I love Christmas because I get to see some of my family i don't get to see very much. On Christmas day we go to my Grandparent's house. Then we have a meal and open presents. Then later that night, we go to a movie that had come out recently. That is my family Christmas tradition.

  19. The way I do Christmas is I switch off. One year I either go to my grandmother's house, or my aunt's house. The next year I go to my grandparent's house all the way in Missouri. On Christmas, we like to sit around the fire while listening to Christmas songs. After that, we go around in a circle opening one present at a time until we run out of presents. That is my family tradition.

  20. My family and I love Christmas. We do tuns of stuff,but I can't name all of them. First we get our tree. We usually name our tree for some strange reason. Then we go Christmas shopping for my grandparents. This year I'm doing the angle tree. It's when you buy people gifts that can't afford Christmas. Then I'm going to the Christmas Eve Titans game. My dad always picks up some food for us,I want to know what it is this year. That is what I do during the holidays.

  21. My family and I always go to my great great grandmothers. All the family comes. It is always on Christmas eve. When it is over and we are driving home it is a little late. My mom, dad,and little brother Logan look for Santa and the reindeer. One year we saw 8 reindeer cross the road on our way home,they were right in front of us. It was weird. That is what we do on Christmas!!!!

  22. My family loves Christmas. We do a lot of stuff, such as games, shopping, and put up the Christmas tree. I went to black Friday this year and I'm never going to do it again. I was so tired. The part that I really like about Christmas is we play dirty Santa, and it is so fun to play. Last year I got a gigantic pen. That is what I do during Christmas.

  26. Every year me and my family always decorate our tree together on December 1st, its lots of fun and a great way to bond. Also, we usually don't have Christmas on Christmas because we have to visit so many relatives. On Christmas Eve we take a trip to ICE, it is full with ice slides and all sorts of icy fun! Those are my family's traditions.

  29. My family's tradition on christmas is to put up lights and ornaments. On our christmas tree and our house. I usuaully do the christmas tree. I always do the lights in a different order. Like red, blue, green,and white. I put them spirling down the tree. Then my mom puts the angel on top. My brother puts the rug underneath. My cat lays on the rug to keeps gard for the presents with a styling red bow. Everbody helps to put the ornaments that we made out of paint,and some we got here and there. My favorite one is the bunny acting like Sants Clause. Thankyou for reading my post.

  30. I love Christmas! Me and my mom always keep a secret about what she got the other boys. My grandparents take turns with all the grandkids, so they don't always get to come to our house. But me and my brothers wake each other up and come jump in my mom and dads bed and wake them up. We take turns opening presents because we like to see what each other gets. Its always a surprise. Then our friend Chuck Ross always comes to our house for Christmas lunch, so my dad goes and picks him while my mom gets the food ready. After our lunch we just hang until its time to go see a movie. We love going to the movies with our friends on Christmas night. And thats my Christmas.

  31. Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. This year I'm going to NH, but we go on a trip to different places every year, so I guess it's normal. For Christmas I usually go to my Daddy Bryan's, but this year I'm staying home.

  32. I can’t wait to do all the different things that my family does at Christmas time. We usually go to the same neighborhoods to look at Christmas lights where all of the houses are very brightly decorated! We go to a candlelight service at our church where we sing hymns and celebrate the birth of Jesus. My sister comes over and helps decorate our Christmas tree. Finally Christmas comes and my sister and brother-in-law come over for Christmas dinner and to open presents with us.

  36. I like Christmas because if you take out the "mas" it makes Christ. We always open up presents at our house, then we go and open up presents at grandma`s house. I like Christmas because it is Christ`s birthday. Jesus was given as a present to us so that`s why we give presents.
