It is always exciting shopping for presents for other people and then hoping to keep them hiddeafroranny snoopers. Christmas has so many things which are brightly coloured such as bulbs, on houses and green decorated . Christmas trees with silver tinsel. I always have fun listening to my brother when he gifts excited about Christmas and seeing Santa uptown. Christi,usually means to -me also the birth of Christ which is im- portant and well-known to a lot of people.

Of all the special events through the year. I like Christmas the best. I like. buying presents for people and hoping that they will like them. The only thing 1 wish I had more of. is money to buy people more expensive presents. Christmas morning, I like to sneak down and see what Santa put in my stocking. You get all kinds of neat things in it. I like to see the presents that I gave being opened and seeing if the family liked what I chose. Usually I'm too excited to eat breakfast because our family will be going to our cousins' house. I like to look nice when 1 go there. Sometimes 1 get so excited tivat Use -1M -find-- Lanything to, -,Wear, bat -in- the end 1 always find: something nice to wear.
