Christmas Eve
Christmas

Bright rays of sun lights shining through the blinds, it was finally Christmas day. Christmas is wonderful time of the year. Christmas, to my family, means family time and a break from our busy lives. My family from Michigan and Ohio return home. The house is always beautiful when the holiday approaches. I feel enthusiastic. It makes me feel blissful when we are gathered around, and the food; this just the best part. My family and I put up the snow white Christmas tree just like the one that is out up in front of the Medical Center on 10th street. Its fresh grassy colors make everyone stop and stare at its beauty. The colorful lights, like a rainbow after it rains, are reflected all around the walls, over the ice-cold windows, on the dressed up tree; it makes the house as bright as the sun. Christmas is the best holiday with many decorations and activities. During this season we send and receive pleasing, lively cards and gifts; just as the wise-men brought gifts to the birth. We eat a lot of food till we are stuffed especially my brother, Trevor. Christmas is a time when loud and foolish friends and families dress in their skintight dresses or sexy tuxedos and with their up-does and fancy haircuts to gather together to reminisce about the loved ones gone and celebrate joyous day. . Christmas time is genuinely unforgettable and unique impression everyone senses at the depth of a heart. I would have to say Christmas morning is the attractive morning of all because the sun never fails in supplying a warm ray of sunshine through our family room windows and the expression upon everyone faces when they open their priceless gifts. As one put it, “The smell of pine is everywhere with all the love that we can share” (Willow Firesongs Collection 2001). I wish everyday was Christmas morning. On Christmas the presents are wrapped decorously enough that they look well-dressed. The decorations around the house helps spreads Christmas joy and of course,

    Winston Churchill once said, “Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.” As the big day draws near, it is important to reflect on the roots of the global holiday as well as the direction in which it is heading. Christmas is a tradition rooted deep in the history of western society. It has undergone many changes since it’s earliest celebrations. Even today, the holiday is constantly changing. Each year brings new innovations to Christmas. In the dawn of the holiday, it was minor and focused on the birth of Jesus, the light of the world. In the 19th century, Christmas was a time of family and goodwill to mankind. Today, though there still remains aspects of religion and selflessness, more than ever it has become a holiday consumed by commercialism. It is a development that is not likely to go way any time soon.…

    Buzz.. Buzz… Buzz… another Christmas! I wake up to the sight of a plain view outside, the sun glistening onto the golf course outside my window. No snow and i can probably go outside in shorts. The consequences of living in the lone star state includes no snow and many other downsides, I don't mind though. I pull on my favorite fuzzy snowman socks and hop down each step until I finally reach the bottom of the stairs. I look at the tree which reached to touch the top of the room. At the bottom was a never ending pile of gifts, one stacked upon another it seemed like it would take years to unwrap them all.…

    Tis the season to be jolly and forget all about our worries because that time of the year has come when we celebrate a season full of love and giving. Yes, it’s Christmas, one of the most anticipated events of the year for people young and old. We know that Christmas is just around the corner when the wind that blows becomes chilly, when Christmas songs start playing on the radio, when you hear children outside your front door singing good old Christmas carols, and, lastly, you know that Christmas is really near when you look outside your window and see the beautiful Christmas lights and decors that people put up in and out of their houses. People put up lots of decors for the sake of feeling the spirit of Christmas. These decors differ from house to house—some are plain and simple, while some are dazzling and extravagant. But what’s common among all these is that each home has a wonderful Christmas tree to put gifts under. It has certainly become one of the Christmas traditions that couldn’t possibly be ignored by people rich or poor. So, how did Christmas trees start to become a vital part in celebrating the yuletide season?…

    Every year, around Christmastime, when the air is crisp and cold, I make a trip to St. Augustine, Florida.

    Christmas has always been my favorite holiday of the year. As a child it was the one time of year that I thought I could get a glimpse of Santa Clause leaving me presents. What an exciting memory. I wish I could go back to when I was little. To this day, I always look forward to waking up early in the morning to be the first person to look at all the presents and then going to church. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Our house is warm with the spirit of Christmas. The best part of Christmas is feeling the warmth of love of family and friends coming together to celebrate the best holiday season.…

    T was the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash…

    I lay awake in bed hoping to hear the sound of hooves on my roof. I desperately hoped that Santa had gotten my letter and was going to bring me every present I had asked for under my Christmas tree. I tossed and turned all night. Sleep was impossible. I kept waiting for the sun to come up so that I could go in and wake my parents. At the first peak of a sun ray I ran into my parent’s room to wake them up and beg them to please get up so we could go and see what Santa left for us. When my brother and I were given the green light we stormed down the stairs to see what gifts and goodies awaited us on this wonderful Christmas morning. The anticipation and excitement that leads up to Christmas Eve and Christmas morning is magical. Not all good things last forever. My whole opinion and outlook changed when one year I overheard a comment on the bus...Santa is NOT real. These four words completely devastated me! It took away that pure joy and excitement that may never be replaced for the rest of my life.…
