Christmas: Traditions and Family

        Christmas is the time of year for giving. Most families have tradions for this magical holiday. My family celebrates Christmas every year. We have some weird traditions, so prepare yourself. We start around December 13 and pick out a Christmas tree. We bring it home and put it in the garage for about a day. Then we take it out of the garage and put out on are front lawn. Then we wait for an hour while my mom thinks of a place to put the tree. She'll find a place for it, then change her mind, then find a new place for it. After about one hour she finds a place for it. After we cut the tree in the room, we start to decorate it. After we are done decorating the tree, one of the kids put either the angle or the spear on the top of the tree, and that’s only about the tree.On Christmas Eve we invite the entire family over and hang out at our house and party till about 9 o'clock. After that we watch the National Lampoons Christmas Vacation or Blazing Sattles. Then after the movie we hang out some more then head up to bed. Then after 20 minutes I can't sleep, so I would go down stairs talk to my mom then go to bed and fall asleep. ZZZ....On Christmas morning mom and dad would walk up and tell us to stay up stairs for about ten minutes. The after the suspense call us down stairs. I would look at the presents and pretended to faint like every year. The after presents we would go to my aunt’s house to have the rest of my family's Christmas. Then I go to bed then I can’t sleep because I want to stay up all night to play with my toys. Then after about a week we take the Christmas tree out and burn it to the ground. Those are my Christmas traditions. Live long and prosper.
