On Christmas I wake up and see presents under the tree. These are my memories I will always remember. I always help my mom pick out presents for my family. I always put up a tree in my house. I always go to my nana’s house on Christmas Eve. On Christmas I wake up in the morning and open my presents. These are the things I will always remember.

What are some of your favorite holiday memories? One of my favorite holiday memories was getting our family dog, Yoda. He loves to play with the Christmas trees ornaments. So we have to keep a sharp eye on him. Another holiday memory is setting up our electric train. My siblings and I like to set it up on the Christmas tree. It is very fun to play with, it has a whistle and bell and they can make noise. It can also shoot real smoke out of its smoke stack. Presents and gifts are also one of my favorite holiday memories because everybody is watching me. I love looking back to the past and looking at memories!

My favorite holiday memories are days from Christmas. Every Christmas I help put up ornaments on my tree. Also every Christmas my elf comes to watch my brother and me. Another Christmas tradition is that we stay up late and drink hot chocolate. I sometimes try to peek at my Christmas presents. This year when we got our stockings out we found out that we left some presents in it. I was surprised. Christmas so fun and I am glad it is a holiday.

I love Christmas, I have lots of memories. This year we got an early Christmas present, a kitten! She is so cute. We love playing with her. She is so playful. When we were decorating the tree, she kept swatting one of the ornaments. It is so much fun watching her grow. She is so little. Christmas is my favorite holiday.

What are your favorite things to do on Christmas? The first favorite thing of mine is that my parents are divorced so I get almost twice as many presents. My second favorite is listening to Christmas music with my family. Usually we listen to Pentatonix. The third is we go up and down the street looking at Christmas lights and other holiday decorations. I also love decorating the Christmas tree. That’s why I love Christmas so much.

Christmas is everybody’s favorite holiday I like it cause of God. Jesus was born on Christmas so it is his birthday. Jesus helped the poor weak and injured people. Jesus created a way to let people who sinned into heaven he did this by dying on the cross. That is why I like Christmas.

My favorite Holiday memory is when my dad got out of jail a couple days after Christmas so we all had a big party. I loved that day my dad and I played all day long I was so happy. That night he tucked me in bed and we said a prayer, “Lord make sure I have no bad dreams. Make sure mommy and daddy have good dreams. Make sure mommy and daddy are good.” That’s my favorite holiday memory.

My favorite holiday memory is when I got my first gun. It was a 17 mm which is better than a 22 in my opinion. But if you like 22s that’s you not me. I’m not saying a 22 is a bad gun I just think a 17 is better. My favorite part about getting a 17 is when I first got to shoot it.

Jesse Lowe, 6th, Elydale Elementary, Mr. DiVirgilio

My favorite holiday memory holiday is when I got to go to Disney for Christmas with my family in Savannah, Georgia. It was so fun I got to ride a lot of rides like Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, and a lot more. After we went back to Savannah, Georgia and ate Spanky’s and went to Monkey Joe’s and played there for an hour or two. Then the next day we went to the beach and I rode my boogie board. Then I went back to Virginia and opened my Christmas presents.
