I have a lot of special memories of my whole family because during December,  all we do is spend time with each other. December forces me to  spend it with family and I could never figure out why. We are always fighting but when December comes, we are always together. During Christmas we spend more than enough time together.

My family and I go over to our grandparents house to eat breakfast but before that we have to wake up and sit very anxiously for everyone else. Then the worst part, we don’t get to open any presents. Do you know how it feels not being able to open a box of mystery? Well it’s an awful feeling for sure. The entire family will be in one small house while we all eat. After that, we get to go back home and start dinner. Then, until everyone arrives, we get to open the presents in front of the whole family. As I grew up I was able to wait to open them, but I was always told it gets the kids more excited to open them.
