My family and I go to Atlantic Farms to get our tree.  My daddy puts lights outside our house.  We decorate our tree.  Daddy makes a fire and we listen to Christmas music.

On Christmas Eve we make a traditional Italian seafood dinner.  We make a sauce that has seven different kinds of fish.

Every Christmas my family brings out special decorations.  We put lots of beautiful things on the tree.   My favorite thing is a snow covered mountain that has two tunnels and two trains.

Every year our family goes to tag our tree at the Christmas Tree farm.  We go with my friend and his family.   It's fun.

  We like to put our train together.  We put it under the Christmas tree.  My Nana and PopPop gave me my train when I was 1 month old.  It is white and pink and plays Christmas music.

Our family tradition is cutting down our Christmas tree.  Daddy starts it and we all get a chance to cut.   When it falls we all scream, "Timber!"  Mommy and daddy make my sister, Caitlin, and me drag the tree so the tractor can bring us the van.

Posadas are a Mexican tradition every December.  We start Posadas on December 15.  Posadas is a get together as a family.  We celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.  We make punch, a fruit tea that always is a Christmas tradition drink.
