Christmas

Christmas is the best time of the year. You get to be with the family and friends. And you get to give things to people you love. I love to see their face when they open the present. It is like they are just shocked. Another thing that is great about Christmas is no school for two weeks, which means no homework.

But the best thing about Christmas is its Jesus birthday. Jesus was born on this day to be our Savior. Gifts were brought to him because people loved him. We also give gifts to our family and friends because we love them.

Christmas is the time of year when we get to decorate our house and yard with beautiful lights. My dad, brother and I always enjoy going to pick out our Christmas tree. Of course we always try to get the biggest one at the tree farm. Our tree this year is ten feet tall and really fat. It is beautiful. The tree takes about 1,000 lights. It took all of us to get it in the house.

We always decorate our yard with lights and blow-ups of a manger scene, snowmen, snow globes, Santa, reindeer and polar bear. When we finish decorating the yard we take time to look at it. The yard is always so pretty.

Another thing about Christmas that I enjoy is going to the church Christmas play. Our church puts on a play every year. This year they put on The Gospel According to Scrooge. The church is packed for five nights and a Saturday afternoon play. This play is great.

As Christmas is getting closer I hope everyone will remember the true meaning of Christmas, not just about the gifts. I would like to say Merry Christmas to everyone who reads my blog.
