Favorite Holiday
Do you know what’s your favorite holiday is? I do. Every Christmas I can count on gifts, food, and family.
First of all every Christmas morning my little brother is the first one up early, waiting for our mother to wake up and let him open gifts. Video games, clothes, tablets, and sneakers are in the boxes under the tree. I received an iPad, Pavilion laptop and Dre Beats for my music. My mother received everything she wanted and that's us being happy and appreciative. Furthermore everybody was excited it was Christmas, later that morning families and friends ring the doorbell of our door and wished us a merry Christmas, and we said the same back. Afterwards the crowed disperse, and my mother started to cook. We were having a Christmas dinner.
Eventually, the stew chicken had been set in the very center of the table, with the gravy all over it; between the bowls of the stew chicken is the sea food salad. On the counter surrounding the stew chicken is fried chicken with fruits and vegetables. Next to the stew chicken on a custom designed platter is the home made banana bread sliced on an entree. Surrounding the fried chicken are king fish and whitening. Across from the curry chicken is the breaded tilapia with onions on the top, cut up with Jamaican peppers. The scent of freshly peeled onions gave of aroma on the butter shrimps. Furthermore, the table was covered with deserts. Foremost the banana bread was fresh out the oven, cooling off in the bread pan. Next to the bread pan, is butter and honey in little containers all different brands. Lastly are the rum cakes. Freshly baked, sweet smelling with Jamaican rum given that rich taste. The rum cake has a dark color and very soft crest, with a very moist feeling. In the refrigerator are the different pitchers filled with blended peanut and Guinness. The ice cold water is the first pitcher to come out of the refrigerator followed closely with the ice tea.
Finally as I sit by the window and stare out into the trees,

    My favorite Christmas moment, which there have been many of them has left much of an impact and those memories stay with me throughout the year. Looking over this topic, I really remember this one Christmas last year, in December of 2013. This Christmas left the biggest impact on me and has etched a lasting memory forever in my heart.

    My brother woke me up on Christmas morning. He practically had to drag me out of bed and it turned out I could have slept at least another twenty minutes because my dad made us wait for him to get up and make coffee. Finally my brother and I unwrapped our presents. I got a pink Aéropostale sweater, some One Direction books and magazines, the new Taylor Swift album on vinyl, TOMS that are too big for my feet and a bunch of candy I can’t eat because of my braces. Then we drove to my mom’s house to celebrate Christmas there.…

    Christmas Time

    Christmas time is the most wonderful time of the year. Why might I say this you ask, well isn’t it obvious? It’s because the snow is falling, it’s cheerful, and people just seem to be happier during the Christmas season. There are people giving, Christmas carols, cookies, wonderful food, and all of your family and friends get together for Christmas. It’s the lights, sparkling and twinkling, making everything bright and beautiful, especially at night when they light up the darkness and we just stare in awe with smiles on our faces. Or maybe it’s the music that makes Christmas time so special. The beautiful Christmas carols that never seem to grow old or stale. We never forget the words and they thrill us and touch our hearts and still will for many more years to come. Maybe it’s the gift giving yeah that’s it! What fun it is to choose the perfect gift for those we love. What a joy to give and a pleasure to receive. My favorite part about Christmas time is making cookies and putting up the Christmas tree with my little cousins Kennedy, Kamryn, and Korbin. The person that most of these things point to is Jesus, the most important person of all. We like the lights because it reminds us that Jesus is the light of the world, our light that shines through the darkness. We give gifts because it reminds us of the greatest gift of all, the forgiveness of sin and eternal life! During winter you can just feel Christmas approaching, when you walk outside and breathe in the crisp cold air. When you see that first snow the joy starts to well inside of you. You can see it on your face when Christmas time comes around. To me these are many of the things that make Christmas time special to me and probably too many others also.…

    In many ways, a lot of thing in life are taken for granted. When you’re a young kid, it is all about the presents, but as you grow older you mature and come to the realization that it was never the presents that made the day but only the presence of your family, but the presents and food do add to the good time too. You come to see that family is one of the best things you can ask for. Without my family I do not think I would be this funny or happy. I love to be around my family because we talk, laugh, cry together and reminisce when I was younger and talk about the presents. The memories we share is more meaningful to me then what a gift certificate can ever mean.…

    1. One of my favorite Holidays is 4th of July. A few years ago my dad and I went to Washington to pick out some illegal fireworks. So we went to the Black Cat firework store . I got some mortars and roman candles and all the fun fireworks you could think of. So the day before 4th of July we were lighting off a few roman candles and all of a sudden a under cover police car pulled into our driveway and the police officer inside the car said “are you lighting off illegal fireworks?” because he saw me with the roman candles, and my dad said “yes” so the police officer confiscated all the fireworks we had bought and were fined a thousand dollars. We did get our ticket reduced down to $250 because we attended a fire works class. This definitely opened my eyes to the danger of fire works. From that day forward, I’ve learned not to do anything your not supposed to do, like buy illegal fireworks.…
