Christmas- A Lovely Time Of Year By: Kyleigh Romero
Christmas Traditions • My family has always been doing some things on Christmas for as long as I can remember. We would have a certain day before Christmas that the cousins of the family would decorate a tree. We would get ornaments and each person got to put on many ornaments. Then we would get a early Christmas present as we made cookies and watched movies. We do this every year and I couldn’t imagine it stopping and I hope it goes on forever. This is my families tradition.
