My Favorite Holiday

Christmas holiday is one of the best holidays for me , it is a wonderful time in the year because we do not have school and we celebrate the Christmas with our families and relatives. In Christmas people like to go shopping to buy gifts for their families and friends. I like to buy nice gifts for my host family. i like also to buy cards so they can have a memory of who gave them the gifts. Children love Christmas because they recieve gifts from Santa Claus , parents usually ask their children to write notes about what they want to have as a gift and put it near the window so Santa Claus can bring what they want, all children feel happy that they can ask for whatever they want. Parents prepare a chirstmas tree and they decorate it with beautiful ornaments and light it up. Families like to put presents under the tree and gather in the living room near the fireplace and every member of the family start to unwrap the presents and it considered one of the happiest moments , after that they share a dinner they usually make turkey, mashed potatoes and treats. Its a great time for family reunion especially for relatives who live far and are only able to visit in holidays. I love Christmas because it is an oppurtunity for all families, relatives and friends to get closer. After opening the gifts parents usually share stories with their children and enjoy the rest of the night talking and laughing. It is a memorable holiday that i always wait for it with excitement.
