Everybody loves wintertime because it’s a time of fun playing in the snow building snowman, building igloos, drinking warm hot chocolate, the fun music, decorating, and looking at the lights well the best holiday ever is in this season and that holiday is Christmas or Hanukkah depending on your family’s culture. Christmas is a very joyful holiday filled with spending time with family and friends, drinking cocoa or cider, watching romantic Christmas movies and funny Christmas movies. Christmas is also a time for music, lights, snow, gifts, miracles, and much more. There are so many reasons why Christmas is my favorite holiday.
One of my many favorite Christmas traditions is Christmas caroling. Christmas caroling is going in a big group door to door singing Christmas songs and they can join in the group and go door to door with them too. Another great Christmas tradition is ice skating. My family goes ice skating every year. It is very fun and I’ve done it for so many years that I’ve learned how to do some cool tricks while skating. My family also goes snowboarding and skiing in the mountains. It can be very cold and scary to go down a steep mountain but I’ve gotten good at it which makes it a great experience. All of these are fun traditions we do but my ultimate favorite is going to a cabin every few years my extended family goes to a cabin that we rent and it is so fun we watch movies play outdoors play games open gifts it’s a very fun time when we get to go but I also love staying at my home for Christmas hoping for a white Christmas. Because there’s no place like home for the holidays.
Nobody gets into the Christmas spirit until they see the lights and they hear the music and it gets cold outside. When someone lights the fire and you’re wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket in your pajamas drinking your hot cocoa and watching a romantic Hallmark movie. That’s when everybody gets in the spirit of Christmas. If you have ever gone in a car at night and went around your neighborhood looking at people’s cool lights and decorations and you see the most colorful full-on beautiful festive lights and you stay parked at that house forever and you can’t take your eyes off that’s when you feel warm inside and you feel like nothing can ruin your night because it makes you happy and it gives people joy and excitement and the eager to make it Christmas already. From then on every day, you look at your Christmas chocolate calendar and look at how many days are left until the best holiday of the year. So if you have never gone and seen people’s Christmas lights and sat by your cozy fire watching your favorite Christmas movie then it’s almost time for you to do those things.
Shopping, most everyone loves going shopping, buying yourself the most amazing new lotion or something you enjoy but something even better than shopping for yourself is shopping for someone else. Finding that perfect gift for your friend will feel a lot better than buying yourself something. Finding the perfect gift takes a lot of hunting through many many stores until finally, you find that perfect gift and you go home right away and wrap your present for that very special person. And they open it Christmas morning surprised and full of joy that their friend has put in so much effort to find you that very special gift and it’s the best feeling ever. So next time you go to the store, think of those special people you want to give that gift to and make their day.
Your best friend is one of the most important people in your life and it is so fun when you get to hang out with them. One of the things I love to do with my best friend is we love going to places together like the mall and Starbucks and other places like those. Especially during Christmas time because you get to hang out with your friend and get your holiday shopping done. We get to find each other the gift we both want and it makes it easier to find the gift they want. My best friend and I like to get matching pajamas for Christmas and watch our favorite Christmas movie together while drinking cocoa and I wouldn’t do it with anyone else.
Christmas parties are so fun but the best part about any party is the food. There are always so many choices and varieties to choose from. There is not always food but there is most likely dessert there, especially Christmas desserts. A woman named Elizabeth Warrentin said that ”The Christmas season is inextricably associated with many beloved desserts all around the world.” One great Christmas dessert is gingerbread. Gingerbread can be used in many different things like cookies, gingerbread houses, gingerbread bread and so many more. There are many different Christmas treats but that’s one very loved dessert during this time of year.
These are some reasons why Christmas is my favorite holiday. Christmas is not just about the presents and the desserts and decorations it’s also about spending time with the ones you care about most like your friends and your family. Spending time with those people and bonding with them will make you closer to them and help you to grow a closer connection with those people. So this is why Christmas is my favorite holiday.
Merry Christmas!
