Christmas
is my favourite time of the year. We start decorating the house at the
beginning of December. We have a very big Christmas tree in the living
room and the house is full of many multi coloured lights, even on the gate near our garage.
Last year, Christmas was even better because it snowed for the
first time in 5 years, so we spent the whole day outside playing in the
snow. I hope it will snow this year, but if it doesn’t we will
go abroad and have a short Christmas vacation.
Five years ago we
celebrated Christmas in
New York, it was very enjoyable and definitely
memorable. We prepare a very big Christmas dinner
which usually varies from year to year, but a classic dish with turkey
is always cooked. During dinner we like to sing Christmas Carols; my
mother Mary is an excellent singer but my father John is really terrible.
This
year my cousins from
America
are visiting us for the first time, so I’m very excited because I’ve
never met them before.
It is always difficult and very expensive to find gifts during
Christmas, I haven't even decided what to buy yet. This year I hope to
receive a new computer, my old one has recently been giving me many
problems. I love buying gifts because I like seeing the expression on
people's faces when they open their gifts. It is very satisfying and
gratifying.
