Christmas Time

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. It is one of my favorite holidays because I get to gather around with all my family, make memories, and remember an important day. Each year I switch what day I am with my dad or mom. If I am with  my dad on Christmas then I am with my mom on Christmas Eve and then it switches the next year. It has been that way since I was 3 when my parents got a divorce. When I am with my dad on Christmas Eve we would always go to Branson to my step-mom mom's house with the whole family. We always have a good time because we get to see people we haven't seen in a while and we have a feast. There are tons of pictures taken especially of the little kids. We always take one picture of all the cousins and then we try to get a whole group picture. But things are going to be different from now on because my dad and step-mom just got a divorce so we wont be going to Branson anymore. On my dad's side of the family the only people that are actually in town are me, my dad, and Nannie (dad's mom). So this year we are not quite sure what we are going to do. When I am with my mom we either go to my grandma's house or we go to my aunt Jennifer's house. The past few years it has been at my aunt Jennifer's house. It is always really fun because how we do presents is Secret Santa. We always have lots of food to eat too, which I love. Usually on Christmas Day I go to church with my family. Its always nice to go to church to listen and celebrate what Christmas is really about. Its not all about presents and getting things, its about Jesus being born.
