My family's Christmas customs differed from those of most others. No one in my family can unwrap presents until everyone has finished breakfast. I remember staring my father in the eyes as he slowly made his way through the fresh crepes and ham when I was a kid. He chuckled as he chewed, aware that I was pressuring him to eat more quickly. It was a complete failure. My parents would have us all go back up the stairs and wait until the video camera was recording after Dad completed his dinner. Then, one by one, we'd descend the stairs to unwrap our first few gifts. This was done in chronological sequence, from youngest to oldest. We were all down the stairs in no time, and then we could all dig into the other gifts under the tree. Things became more harder as time passed. My mother fell ill, and my father lost his work. All of us were put under a lot of stress as a result of this. For us, Christmas was a little different those years. I soon left home to serve the great people of Mexico for two years. Living in Mexico was a fantastic experience, but I missed having Christmas at home. And I was concerned about my family's well-being while I was away. That was probably the most difficult time for my family. Just a few weeks after returning from Mexico, I had the most meaningful Christmas of my life. My mother had just lately begun to recover after years of illness. My father had also found work. That Christmas, my younger brother and I decided to play parents against each other. We assisted with breakfast and ate more slowly than usual, chatting about life and sharing jokes and anecdotes from my Mexican Christmases. We then forced Mom and Dad to climb the stairs and began filming them, celebrating as they descended to accept their gifts. Throughout it all, we laughed and grinned. To be honest, I have no recollection of the gifts that year. The way we all conveyed how much family meant to us and how thankful we were to be together is what I remember the most. Through embraces and tears, I realised that the reason we did things differently that year was because the best gift we could give one other was being together as a family.

Task 1: Part of our tradition, we would always wait for the day of Christmas.
Task 2: We will be having fun chit-chatting while waiting for it then eat after it. It is also one of the days where I got to have the time to enjoy the meal with my family since I'm always busy with stuffs that I cannot join them in eating on regular days. Also, in that day, I always see that no matter how long you've not been seeing each other, the bond is still there and they will always be our family.

Every Christmas week when I was a kid, my grandfather would get out his Santa Claus costume and wash it in preparation for the big night. The upcoming event piqued our interest. My grandfather would buy a lot of confectionery with his own money. People in the town would also give candy to the cause, and my city's fire department would "borrow" a fire truck and a few firefighters to participate in the festivities.
My grandfather would climb to the top of the fire engine on December 24. The truck would then make its way to a few of low-income areas, where "Santa" would hand out candy to the children. My grandpa flinging all that candy, the truck with all its sound and lights, the cars honking behind it—it was all so magical to me. Following that, we used to ask our neighbours and the firefighter to join us in celebrating Christmas.

My grandfather retired after nearly 25 years due of his age, but the memories are still vivid in my mind. My grandfather received a letter from a woman one day, thanking him for making her happy on so many Christmases! She praised him for all the happiness he offered to her family throughout their terrible moment. Most of the time, she didn't have anything else to eat that night, not even a Christmas present, so that candy was the only thing she had. Every time she heard the sirens, the sadness she felt on those evenings was replaced by exhilaration. She expressed gratitude to him for inspiring her to believe in Santa Claus and a better future.

My grandfather died in February of last year, leaving us with great memories like this one. He will always be Santa Claus and a shining example of love. During the Christmas season and throughout the year, I could see a little of Jesus Christ's love in my loving grandpa, who loved everyone he encountered and spread His love to those who weren't physically with Him. "Of course!" I'd answer if someone asked if I believe in Santa Claus. He used to live with me!"

I always spend chirstmas with my family. The moment I want to share was only days ago. My whole family had a Christmas dinner. We'd all had typical turkey, sweet potatoes with a light brown sugar sauce, and a last wedge of pumpkin pie with ice cream on top. The delicious aromas of cooking lingered, and the oven remained warm. "Fabulous supper," "I really couldn't eat another mouthful," "Everything was fantastic," my sister, our chef, was soaking all the praise.


My dad had risen from his chair and was standing nearby, content. I kept a tight eye on my father to see what he would do. His face lit up with a cheeky grin. His eyes twinkled brighter than any Christmas tree lights. Dad bounced a ball on the floor and caught it while holding it and extending forward. He then turned to face our gathered group, nodding approvingly. Dad began a game of catch by gently tossing the ball away. And so our christmas eve continued, and I had the best christmas of my life.

Best thing about every Christmas is that this is the time that we gather with our loved ones.

It's a special occasion like a reunion for the family. Having time to enjoy Christmas with the people you love.

It was when I was only 12 years old, in 2011. We excitedly awaited Dad's announcement that everything was ready on Christmas morning in the hallway. We dashed into the living area, flinging wrapping paper everywhere. We made feeble attempts to wait and observe while other family members unwrapped their gifts, but as time went on, we lost our composure. It turned out to be a blow dryer. Though this may appear to be a modest present, it was so much more to me. I was astounded. My mom's gesture of selflessness was inconceivable in my world, where receiving surpassed giving by light years. It was a huge performance. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I marvelled at how much my mother must love me to sacrifice her Christmas so that I may receive a few more gifts. That Christmas has always been one of my favourites. It had such a profound effect on me. I can now comprehend my mother's conduct as an adult with children whom I adore. I see how, rather than "giving up Christmas," as I had assumed, she was finding even more delight in it since giving is genuinely better than receiving. To me, my mother's little gesture meant the world.

Christmas Day 2020 will always be a bittersweet day for me, because it was the last day I saw my father before he died. But I will always cherish the memories of that day for that very reason. We visited him at his nursing home to play Santa Claus, and he seemed to be so pleased to be sharing the day and our presents with him. In a year that was filled with so much difficulty, it was heartening for us to be able to share one more Christmas with him. Christmas Day isn't the only day I will think of him, but I will remember that Christmas Day for many more to come.

HI Everyone,

Happy Holidays to all and best wishes for the coming year

Even though Christmas this year was again thwarted by the ongoing pandemic, we managed to have a lovely time together with some friends and family. A very happy moment for me was when I (finally) managed to have a nice lenghty video chat with a dear friend I had not seen or really spoke to for since the beginning of this horrid C19 episode.
My friend is stuck in a country that has very strickt C19 rules, so she is not able to travel and on top of it has lost her apartment in the city we used to live in together. Needless to say we dont see each other that often in person anymore.
We treated it as if we managed to visit each other and had some drinks and bits of nibbles. We listened to our favourite music and had a good catch up So we managed to, sort of, spend some quality time, even though it was via a screen. We can't wait until this whole situation has passed and we can resume normal life. I guess it's safe to assume everyone else on this planet is rooting for the same.

To everyone, much prosperity, good health and well being in the coming New Year

Here comes Christmas again after waiting for months, the days pass and events revolve around us, we fall and get up, swerve and then come back, surrounded by darkness from every direction, then we look at the end of the tunnel and see our hopes shining there like the lights of the Christmas tree.

1- The happy moments for me When I meet with my friends on Christmas after a months-long separation caused by distances and busyness with work, we come back to pick the flowers of happiness and receive drops of joy on Christmas.



2- When I meet with my friends, we practice our favorite hobbies, we enjoy old songs and games that used to entertain us and make us laugh, the stories and tales that we have always enjoyed, also eating popular foods, sweets and chocolate, these are moments that fill the soul with pleasure and bring joy back to it.

Merry XMAS

The most precious moments about Christmas time is that many members of the family gather together to have Christmas dinner.
It's so special that we can gather, specially that many of us are getting older and don't know how many times we still can get together and feel the warmness of being such a wonderful family. Also it's so special that now we're watching grand children are bringing a new generation to take place in this world
I'm attaching a pic of some of the family members gathering at the table for having dinner.

Merry Christmas to all of you and wish that the new year 2022 bring you all lots of blessings

Christmas Wow, it is the most awaited occasion for family reunification, in which differences are forgotten and the causes of separation between parents are erased, in which the distant becomes close and the neighbor becomes a brother.in Christmas Day souls reconcile, Christmas Day is the day of the turkey and the Christmas tree, the day of gifts and visits to the sick and the elderly in shelters, where the human voice of every human being is above every voice calling for separation.
A glorious birthday, and I wish that every word in the homes is blessed with kindness, love, tenderness and reconciliation
