When Jesus' birthday comes near we have to celebrate.Christmas is a time of loving and a time of sharing with others.A few days before Christmas we buy presents to share with family and friends.The shops are filled with people making decisions as to what to buy.Everyone is rushing.wrapping the presents is fun.Once we finish wrapping our presents we write up the gift tags.The presents are now put under the Christmas tree in the lounge room till Christmas day.We decorate it with tinsel,ornaments,and flashing lights.on Christmas Eve we travel to Nanny's house in the car which is packed with presents and food.My family attends Church to celebrate the birth of Jesus.Before we go to bed we hang up our stockings at the end of the bed.We hope that Santa will find us at Nanny's place.When we wake up we see lots of presents in our stockings.Everyone is excited.Dad video tapes us as we open our presents.The morning passes quickly as everyone receives and gives presents.The lounge floor is covered with wrapping paper.The day gets hotter and everyone gathers round the table for lunch.Our family loves roast pork,ham,chicken and vegetables as the main meal.Fruit salad,plum pudding,custard and ice-cream fill our dessert plates.After this we continue on playing with our new toys while the adults laze around.Later in the day we visit our Grandma and Grandpa and Christmas starts all over again.At the end of the day we all feel exhausted and ready for bed.
