Traditions
I would have to say that my favorite holidays are Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are my favorite holidays because I spend so much time around my family during these holidays and I really like to spend time with my family. My mom has a brother and a sister so during Thanksgiving all of our families go up north where my grandparents live. We go Tuesday night and then Wednesday morning my mom, aunt and grandma go out all day to do some Christmas shopping. While they’re shopping my cousins and I just hang out anxiously waiting to see if we can sneak a peek at any of our Christmas presents when they come back. When Thursday comes, it’s Thanksgiving and our moms are in the kitchen all day and then we have our wonderful Thanksgiving feast.
During Christmas I also spend much of the time with my family. Christmas Eve my dad’s family comes over which is a little bigger than my moms. We all just hangout and catch up since we don’t see each other all the time. Then we all sit down and eat Christmas dinner. When we’re all done eating we sit by the Christmas tree and open our presents. After that’s over it’s pretty late so people start to leave and me and my sister leave out milk and cookies on the counter for Santa. In the morning we wake up really early, open presents and go up to my grandparents house and open up more presents. I really don’t like change so I hope my holiday traditions stay the same.
