Family Traditions



My family has lots of traditions but I think the best traditions are around Christmas time. I would like to talk about what we do to prepare for the Christmas season, how we sell abrade it, and what’s the best part of Christmas.

We first start preparing for Christmas at the last week of November we put up the Christmas tree, and put up the Christmas lights. When we are in the first week of December we pick names for Christmas. When we pick names we put all the names that are in are family then every one picks in a hat what person they are getting a present for. The last thing we do is around the last week of Christmas we go see the eliminating lights on temple square so we can feel the Christmas spirit.

On the day of Christmas everyone has either bought gifts for someone or like me forgets so the have to run to the store. After we come back from the store we mess around have fun play games. Then after we done messing around we go to a stake center to have a Christmas party with my extended family. their is so much good food their like all the pies you can think of, lots of different types of cookies, ice cream potatoes, pork, chips and dip and a whole lot of other great stuff. The smell when watching my mom cooking some of that stuff is hard not to eat it because is smells so good. Then we do a family talent show and anyone that wants to can sing dance and do any other talent relating to Christmas. After we get other presents and put them into a pile and we roll dice for the presents. The persons with doubles get to pick a gift. Don’t work everyone can only take one gift and their are enough gifts for everyone.

The best part of Christmas is not the presents even though it nice to get some. The best part of Christmas is spending time with your family in singing and games and just having a good time. Now that’s the real spirit of Christmas.

Prepare for the Christmas season before so its not such a hassle to do it, Remember when preparing for Christmas get your gifts early so you don’t have to worry about it, and remember the best part of Christmas.
