We buy a real fir tree.  We take it home and my dad puts our tree on  a stand.  We decorate the tree.

Andy

I like my Advent calendar.  It gives me a chocolate for each day.  We go to the tree farm to pick a tree.

Emma

My sisters and parents help me decorate the Christmas tree.  I love to make the gingerbread house because I get to eat M and M’s.  I also love to put up the Christmas village.

My mom and dad go shopping every year on black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.  My sisters, Francesca and Jessica, my brother Michael and me make the gingerbread house for Christmas.

Jessica

Every year, my cousins play “Secret Santa.”  My Dad takes us to pick out a tree and wreath.  We all help decorate the house and put ornaments on the tree.  We usually make a Gingerbread House.  This year, all of my relatives are coming to our house for Christmas Eve.

At Christmas we make picture ornaments. We cut out a picture.  We glue on a hook.  We put it on the tree.

I like getting ready for Christmas with my family.  We go to see the Nutcracker in New York City.  Mom helps me and Russel bake cookies for Santa.  Dad is in charge of picking out the tree.  Christmas time is fun with my family.

For Christmas we buy a big tree and make my Dad carry it home.  He says it is heavy.  Then we put our favorite Misfit Toy ornaments on the tree.

A favorite Christmas tradition is baking gingerbread cookies.  We set up a Christmas village.  We invite our grandparents and aunts and uncles for Christmas dinner.

Brendan

My family loves to pick out the tree and decorate it together.  We also deliver flowers to the poor and ill every year.  The best thing about Christmas is being with my family.

My family loves Christmas because we go to Utah to ski! We put up a Christmas tree.  Santa comes to Utah and brings us lots of presents.  Mommy cooks Christmas dinner.

Every Christmas we have breakfast with Santa.  We tell Santa what we want for Christmas.  We read The Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve.
