With Christmas coming up, I figured I would talk about what my family does over the holiday season. We have already put up our Christmas tree this year. We put it up over Thanksgiving break (but after Thanksgiving Day of course). We have a fake Christmas tree, so we all gather together and fluff the "branches"to make it look realistic. We listen to Christmas music, like Dean Martin and Manheim Steamroller. After the tree is up we put up the ornaments and other decorations around the house. This isn't a tradition that is really unique, but it is nice and fun all the same.
During the Christmas season one of my favorite things that we do every year is making Christmas cookies. My mom, brother, sister and I all have fun cutting the cookies out of the dough with Christmas cookie cutters. It is also fun when they come out of the oven and we can frost and decorate them however we want. They also taste really great! We have made Christmas cookies for as long as I can remember, and it has always been fun.
Although these traditions aren't anything that looks really great or unique to others, they are special to me because they are with my family and we have done them for years. It just wouldn't seem right if we didn't do these things together every year. I am excited to go home this Christmas because being away from my family has made me appreciate them more, especially my siblings. I am so looking forward to Christmas break and seeing them all again!
