My favorite holiday memory is when my mom said there is a good box and a bad box. My sister and I told each other which box we wanted to open. So on Christmas Day we opened them. They had the something in them which was a phone. My sister and I played on them all day. So that is my favorite holiday memory.

One of my favorite holidays is Christmas. I love to go to my families and celebrating. Also I know that Christmas isn’t about the gifts but I do like the gifts. I love the reason we all have Christmas and how it was the birth of baby Jesus. Another thing I like about Christmas is when we have to pick gifts for everyone else in the family or even friends. Christmas is one of my favorite holiday.

One of my favorite holiday memories is from last year’s Christmas. In 2016 I showed my parents something I really wanted and the color I wanted it in and my parents got it for me, so technically I picked it out. I also got a lot of makeup. I loved all of the makeup that I got last year but, I lost it all. Well, have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas.
