I woke up early, about five, and I sneaked into my brother's room to wake him from a deep sleep. I started jumping on his bed, and he looked at me funny. Then he looked at the clock and said, "Why do you always have to wake me up so early?" I didn't uy anything I pulled him off the bed. He fell with a loud bang and got up fast to try to catch me I ran down the stairs. We ran to the Christmu tree, and we started laughing. Then we just sat there looking at all the presents. We opened than one at a time until there was nothing else to open. We cleaned up the mess, ate our breakfast, and we got dressed in our new clothes. Then our family went to my grandparents, like every year, and ate dinner. My entire family wu there. We took pictures and talked about the old times. I love Christmu because it's the only time our family is ever together. We all have things to be thankful fa and we should be happy with spark that causes us all to look at Christmu in the way it should be seen, and we all suddenly recognize the true meaning what we celebrate each year.

We . by Tiffany Willoughby Out of all the Christmu memories I have, I remember the parties, presents, and the family love. On Christmu Eve we go to Grandma's house for our family party. We eat ham and clam chowder, sing Christmu songs, and play games. The presents are exchanged as each eagerly opens their gift Grandma gives us each a bag of candy and each grandchild receives a tree ornament Each family does an act. and the children sing their favorite Christmu songs. Each goes home fa i My favorite memory is probably j one that each one of you have ; well because my favorite memory ; is the memory my family shares. I Every Christmu eve we go to my grandparents house. When we walk i in the door we smell die scent of a 1 stuffed turkey cooking in the oven and the sweet flowerish smell that j my grandparents house always has.

While btchen u u by Nick Peck What I remember most is when my family and I go up in the mountains and cut Christmu trees. We start early in the morning with a good breakfast of ha chocolate,, eggs, tout and bacon. We then make a picnic and bundle up in winter clothes. We end up leaving the house about ten We arrive in the mountains about noon and get half the trees cut and drag them fa what seems like a mile.

We have a great time. When it is time to go to bed, we lay out our stockings so that Santa Clause can fill them with lots of treats. by Jennifer McQueen The thing that always comes to my mind when someone mentions Christmu is the whole family being together. On Christmu Eve, everyone meets at our house for dinner. The smell of ham and scalloped potatoes fills the house while Christmu music plays and thfc lights from the tree twinkle. Everyone sits around talking and we remember years laughing we all sit down After dinar, puL and Dad reads the story of Christ's birth from the Bible. When the stay is ova, we all join in and sing Christmu songs while presents are being passed around the room. As we begin to open the gifts, there is a smile on everyone's face. The feeling of love surrounds we celebrate the birth of us Christ and our many blessings. by Courtney Sargent by Brianna Nosack by Lisa Williams Christmas time is a time for memories. A memory that I can remember is on Christmu Eve. Our family gets together and decorates our Christmas tree. The smell of the minty pine needles fills the whole house with a wonderful ' . Every Christmu morning about 7:30 my grandparents start going around to all of the family's houses to see our Christmu presents and we then receive our presents from r them. After they have beenGround to all the houses, we all get ready and venture down to their house to see their gifts and have a Christmu snack. After visiting merrily couple of hours, we all go our sepa- - ; rate ways and gratefully enjoy the :i wonderful gift we receive of being J together on this very special day. ' would sit and talk about magic, friends, family, and love. Everyone had their own special spot in the living room where they normally sat, and I wu always happy with the floor neu the fire, of course. After a scrumptious dinner we passed out presents and attempt pa some together. My family is very special, and I love each and every one of them. This memory is dedicated to dad, mom, Carisa and Lars, Jeff, Shane, Cory and Amanda, and especially to Granny, Poppy, Aunt Heather, and Uncle John for always making my Christmu memories special. I love you all! The week after Thanksgiving we start decorating our Christmu. In our house we have eight different trees. Each tree hu many different meanings.
