There are lots of things that me and my family do each Christmas, some things are different, but some things stay the same.  Before Christmas we decorate the house. my brothers and I have our own little tree that we decorate every year, it is in the family room.

    It is always exciting cause we do not know if we are going to have  any family from far away come to see us over Christmas. So , Mom and Dad try to keep us busy with getting ready for Christmas by making cookies, and writing letters and cards to  people. We also do some shopping  together , and I like to wrap to wrap the gifts to send to family. This year we bought LED lights to replace the old ones to save energy.  I liked the way the house looks, so every time we pass the house  I say” Oh that’s a nice house” , and Mom laughs every time.

    This year we got a surprise visit from my my Aunt Amy and Uncle Joe.  They appeared in the yard, while me and my brother were watching TV. I ran upstairs, and I was so excited, I couldn’t even tell Mom!  They came all the way from Calgary in a snow storm to be with us.  It was so amazing to have family here for the first time from Calgary.

    On Christmas Eve this year, we all got a present from my Aunt and Uncle . It was a video camera!  I haven’t learnt to use it yet , but I’m going to. It’s really ,really cool!  Then Mom and Dad let us  open one  Christmas present before bed. I got a new coat. It’s green, and greens my favourite colour.  Before bed Mom reads the night before Christmas to us, and then she reads from Luke about the night Jesus was born.

  On Christmas morning, we wake up and we are so excited we go upstairs so fast and go straight to the tree.  We got our stockings, went onto Mom and Dads bed and opened them up together. I got Chaotic cards, giant dice, a Rubik cube , and transformers pen, a pirate flag and lots of other cool stuff.  Then we all opened our presents under the tree.  The first one I opened had a skate board and helmet in it. I also got an mp3 player, an itunes card and lots of other great stuff.

    Every year Mom makes Wife saver for breakfast, it’s good. It’s kind of like an omelette and toast all in one dish. Me and my Brother  get muffin shaped ones. Then we play with our new  toys. Dad and Mom surprised us with a basketball net that Dad built and Mom painted and Dad put it up after we went to bed  Christmas eve. It was so cool, that Dad , my brother and me, played for a long time.

   All day we played with our new toys, we were so occupied we barely got away from them.  Then we have a turkey dinner. My favourite part of turkey dinner is stuffing and brussel  sprouts with mustard.
