Christmas cheer

Christmas time is here and it’s time to get into the holiday spirit.

Everyone has their favorite things they enjoy when the holiday season comes.

From movies, to music, holiday dinners or traditions, there are many things one can enjoy during Christmas.

Unemployment rates are still high and families are trying to find ways to celebrate the holidays the best way they can.

Everyone should remember the simple things that make the holidays a joyful time.

During the holiday season, I enjoy watching Christmas movies, especially the movies I remember from my childhood..

My favorite Christmas movies to watch are “A Christmas Story” and “Elf.”

Both movies can be watched with the whole family and they will be enjoyable for years to come.

I enjoy all of the classic Christmas songs from artists such as Mariah Carey, the Jackson 5, Chris Brown and The Temptations.

I listen to these artists while decorating the tree with my family and wrapping gifts.

My family and I have the tradition of waiting for the clock to strike midnight so that we can exchange gifts.

It is almost like a competition to see who will be the first person to fall asleep.

It also gives us time to prepare Christmas dinner and enjoy some of the gifts that we received.

It doesn’t matter if you spend a little or a lot of money on gifts this year, if you have a Charlie Brown tree or the Christmas tree from Grand Central Station.

What matters is the time spent with family and friends and the lasting memories.

So before you begin to stress yourself out, remember some of your favorite things you enjoy about the holidays.
