There’s just something magical about my favorite holiday, Christmas. I don’t
know all the giving that’s done or that all the relatives are gathered together for one big
fight. Every year we get to meet grandma’s new boyfriend and Uncle Charlie’s new
boyfriend too. When I was younger it was all about getting presents, but as I’ve grown
older I have found that giving can be just as rewarding. The women are always up at the
crack of dawn to start working on the holiday feast, to make it almost a Thanksgiving like
atmosphere, but with presents so it’s a lot better. I also enjoy seeing the look in the
children’s eyes anticipating the Old Saint Nick. And when I think that the excitement in
the home is the extent of it, I rush outside to find the beauty of Christmas lights
shimmering off of the freshly fallen snow. This is why Christmas is my favorite holiday.
