When I got up one morning I walked in the living room. When I walked in, there was a present sitting in front of the tree. I opened up the present. It was a CD, a Maroon 5 CD. There was a piece of paper sticking out. I opened it up and flipped it over. It was Maroon 5 concert tickets! I was so happy! That is my favorite holiday memory. The end.

My favorite holiday memory is Christmas Eve. Both sets of grandparents came to my house and we ate, and my sister and I opened presents from Mamaw and Papaw. Then we watched “Christmas Vacation.” I will never forget that Christmas.

Maddox, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Gibson
My favorite holiday memory is on Christmas morning. My oldest brother and I woke up and went in the living room and I locked my eyes right on my present under the tree. Then I realized my parents were still in the bed and my youngest brother and little sister were still in the bed too. So my big brother and I made a plan we were going to wake everyone up. So we went in our room and climbed in my little brother’s bed and my big brother tried to wake him up and then we heard someone walking through the house so we went and saw my sister and mom and dad awake. So my big brother slapped my little brother in the face! My mom said don’t slap your brother and went in and woke him up. And I had the biggest present and it was awesome. I got a football game and that was my favorite holiday memory.
Taft Aldridge, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Gibson
My favorite holiday memory is Christmas. How I grew up we all get together and lie by the tree. When I was five instead of getting together and lying by the tree we were lying under the tree. By the time Christmas came we were surrounded by toys and candy. That was the best Christmas of my life and that is my favorite holiday memory.

Alyssa Lewis, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Gibson
My favorite holiday memory is the Christmas when I got my phone. A lot of my friends at the time had a phone and sadly I didn’t and it was almost Christmas. I told my mom and dad I wanted a phone for Christmas. I didn’t think they would get me one but surely enough they did. They got me a Samsung Galaxy S7. That was the newest Samsung at the time. But anyway that is my favorite holiday memory.
Madison McElyea, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Gibson
Mine is Christmas because I always get to visit family and go outside and build a snowman and have a snowball fight. Then go inside and open presents and drink hot chocolate and play games and watch Christmas movies. And tell stories and we would go visit family then have a Christmas dinner.
Clayton, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Gibson
My favorite holiday memory was when I was six. My mom and I were putting Christmas ornaments on the tree. My mom said go get the stepping stool so I can put the star on top of the tree. I climbed on the stool but I lost my balance and grabbed the tree but I fell backwards and took the tree with me. I got cut from the broken ornaments, and got hooks in my hand.

My favorite holiday memory is one Thanksgiving. My whole family and I were at my new house. My mom and dad were finishing dinner. The rest of the family were in the living room.

When we go to my grandmother’s grave and sing and talk about how great she was. We all miss her we still keep her memory alive. It is still hard for us though many years have gone by. She is still missed. I love her a lot. I wish she could still be here with us.
Shane Woodard, 8th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite holiday memory would have to go to the time I stayed at a hotel during Christmas morning. After the presents were opened, the power went out because it was so cold. It stayed off for three days! So my family and I went to stay at a hotel until it came back on. The hotel was amazing. That day is one day I’ll never forget.

I would have to say that my favorite holiday memory was a couple of years ago. When I was younger my mom met my stepdad and Christmas was just around the corner. My mom was not sure if my stepdad was going to treat me as his own. So he went out and spent over five hundred dollars in toys, clothes, and other items. He also spent Christmas night with us.
Jess Jennings, 8th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
