My Christmas and New Year
My Christmas and New Year

It’s the day before Christmas! I woke up full with Christmas Spirit. My family and me gather around and decorate our house with Christmas wreath, mistletoe, Christmas stockings, and especially the Christmas tree, which is decorated again with beautiful Christmas tree ornaments, Christmas light and the star on top. We stayed at home all day until the evening because it took us a quite long time to decorate the whole house. Then we prepare to go to the Church for the Midnight Mass in the Christmas Eve. We’re going to celebrate the birth of Jesus! So at the Church, we pray and praising Him by singing Christmas Carols. I’m so excited that tomorrow is Christmas! So when we get back, I slept early so that I can have enough energy for tomorrow.

I had a really weird dream. It’s about Santa Claus! I used to believe that Santa Claus, the huge man with a big beard who travels around with his sleigh and magic reindeers and delivers presents to children, which are made by the elves in his workshop, really exist. But actually our parents are the one who put the presents under the Christmas tree.

But anyway, then I go to the mall with my mom to shop, because there’s a huge sale going on there. We directly go back to our house, because grandma is going to bake us her special Christmas treats! But my favorite of all is her gingerbread cookies. Mom is also cooking with grandma for our Christmas dinner! The foods are delicious! After eating, we gather around near the fireplace and opening Christmas presents from each other. We also tell Christmas stories while eating grandma’s cookies. But eventually we all have to sleep, and that’s the end of how I spend my Christmas.

But we all have to prepare again for New Year’s Eve! So we bought fireworks, groceries, party hats, New Year’s trumpet, new clothes, and drinks. We are going to do a barbeque at my uncle’s house. All the members of my huge family are going to be there, so I can’t wait for it.

    French Christmas V. American Christmas

    The holiday tradition for christmas in my family starts on Christmas eve, since I have little brother and sisters we bake cookies for santa and set the milk out and we even put reindoor food out! (It's glitter and trail mix) When me and my siblings have finally fell asleep, my parents put out nthe gifts they don't wrap the ones from santa so it looks more realistic! Anyways, early in the morning we wake up and see the gifts from santa, then we open the ones from our parents. After our presents have been opened and the mess from all the wrapping paper and open boxes are cleaned up we go to the waffle house and chow down! Then we get together with our whole family and have christmas dinner and exchange presents. I love christmas with my family, not only because of the gifts but because we don't get together as much as we should!…

    Compare and Contrast Celebrating Christmas in 18th Century England and China Today

    Since Christmas is coming, I go to the Internet and find that there are several similarities concerning Christmas celebration in 18th Century England and China Today. Though in different ages and different places, Christmas is a big festival in a year under both circumstances. For Christmas dinner, today Chinese people eat roast turkey, plum pudding and the like as Englanders in 18th Century did. The first Christmas card was designed in 1833. Though before the introduction of the penny post in 1840 it would not have been feasible for ordinary people to send cards because of the cost of postage, by the 1860s Christmas cards were very popular in England. Nowadays in China, sending cards to each other still prevails among young people. Besides, Christmas songs like Jingo Bells can be heard here and there in both China today and 18th Century England.…

    The death of my beloved sister plagued our Thanksgiving celebrations for numerous years. Nevertheless, by the matchless grace of God, our beautiful traditions replaced the horrible memory of the last time I saw her alive. In 2000, while living in Okinawa Japan I noticed a paradigm shift in the way we celebrated that wonderful holiday. I spent that particular holiday cooking for my wonderful military family.…

    Christmas

    I liked the cement mixer and played with it as much as or more than I played with the other toy vehicles I owned. At some point, several weeks or months after Christmas, however, my biological parents led me to believe that it was a magic and/or highly unusual cement mixer. Probably my mother told me this in a moment of adult boredom or whimsy, and then my father came home from work and joined in, also in a whimsical way. The magic—which my mother likely reported to me from her vantage on our living room’s sofa, while watching me pull the cement mixer around the room by its rope, idly asking me if I was aware that it had magical properties, no doubt making sport of me in the bored half-cruel way that adults sometimes do with small children, playfully telling them things that they pass off to themselves as “tall tales” or “childlike inventions,” unaware of the impact those tales may have (since magic is a serious reality for small children), though, conversely, if my parents believed that the cement mixer’s magic was real, I do not understand why they waited weeks or months before telling me of it. They were a delightful but often impenetrable puzzle to me; I no more knew their minds and motives than a pencil knows what it is being used for. Now I have lost the thread. The “magic” was that, unbeknown to me, as I happily pulled the cement mixer behind me, the mixer’s main cylinder or drum—the thing that, in a real cement mixer, mixes the cement; I do not know the actual word for it—rotated, went around and around on its horizontal axis, just as the drum on a real cement mixer does. It did this, my mother said, only when the mixer was being pulled by me and only, she stressed, when I wasn’t looking. She insisted on this part, and my father later backed her up: the magic was not just that the drum of a solid wood object without batteries rotated but that it did so only when unobserved, stopping whenever observed. If, while pulling, I turned to look, my parents sombrely…

    Thanksgiving With the Family.

    To me Thanksgiving is better than Christmas. The reason for that is Thanksgiving has the best supper. Just cause Grandma made it. Every once in a while, grandma might not feel well enough to make our Thanksgiving dinner. Therefore everyone pitches in. My mother might make the macaroni & cheese. Auntie will make the splendid dressing. Robin will bake the ham, glazed with pineapples. Everyone has their favorite dish. As for everything else Grandma will make it. No one can duplicate anything that Grandma cooks.…

    Walking Dead Traditions

    My family celebrates Christmas. Christmas is my personal favorite holiday, for mostly selfish reasons, but reasons none the less. On Christmas Eve we start by going to my grandparents house and having a big dinner and opening stockings that my grandma hand made for us when we were born. Then when we get home the first thing we do is unload the stuff from our grandparents house and get ready for bed. My siblings and I go into our parents bedroom and get on Santa Tracker immediately so we know when we should go to bed. This year that might change though, becuase Miles, my little brother, knows about Santa now. We find a Christmas movie or two then settle down on the floor or bed. Usually we watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Elf. We watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas because when we first started the tradition that is what we watched and the second movie because it is our favorite Christmas movie us. The tradition started one year when for Christmas we got new furniture for our rooms and we could not be in our rooms while they were putting the furniture together. Basically the tradition started as a trick and we liked it so much, we thought, let's do it again next year a couple of times. I suppose that is how most traditions start though. The idea behind the tradition is that we all wake up together and we all see the presents at the same…

    Personal Narrative: Getting A Dog

    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.…

We usually have a meal preparation; before we can eat we say our prayers and give thanks to each other. In my family tradition we eat before we can open our presents and we do this at night some of the family contribute to meals. We make Christmas soup which another…
