A Helping Hand ​

​

If someone was lonely on Christmas, I would give them a toy and invite them to eat with me. My hope is that they would never be lonely and have a good life.

The Best Christmas Gift ​

​

The best gift I have ever given someone is my hugs. I don’t have any money, but I have lots of hugs to give! Hugs make good gifts because they make people happy! ​

Christmas Wish

​This year my Christmas wish is for my papaw to get better. He is in a wheelchair and I just want him to be able to walk again. Even though he is so sick he always sure to take care of us, so this year I want him to be taken care of.

Christmas Memories

​

Christmas has many memories for me. I love giving presents to people I love. Seeing my cousin Parkey’s face when I give him a gift is my favorite. I like getting a visit from Santa on Christmas morning, but the true meaning of Christmas is that it’s Jesus’ birthday. Jesus loves us and he IS real. Merry Christmas everyone!​

Christmas Wish

​​

If I could do anything this Christmas I would donate presents to those people that are lonely at Christmas. I would do this hoping this would help them to not be lonely. It is important to me that everyone feels happy at Christmas time! I hope this inspires you to do something kind this Christmas!

A Christmas Memory ​

​

My favorite Christmas memory is when me and my grandma used to make Christmas cookies together. We can’t do that anymore because she passed away this past year. I miss her very much, but me and my family will still make Christmas cookies every year and I will think of her.

​

Christmas Memories with Grandma ​

My favorite Christmas memory is the time that I spend with my grandma. Every Christmas I go to my grandma's house because she is very special to me, she always has something ready for me, she always cheers me up, and I always help her when she has trouble with something. I love my grandma very much.

The Gift of Giving

​

To me, Christmas means a time when people are very giving. They donate to shelters and when they see homeless people who need help, they give them donations. In other words, I feel like Christmas is a time that brings out the giving spirit in everyone. I think that is one of the best things about Christmas. No other holiday really has that effect and family time for others and you get to have fun in the snow.

A Christmas Memory

​

My favorite Christmas memory is from when I was 4. It is my favorite Christmas because I got rock ‘em, sock ‘em robots, legos, and a lot of candy. I played with my friends that day too. Back then, I knew that presents were cool because I was getting new stuff. Now that I am older, I realize that my presents really represented how much my family loved me. They put so much effort into making us happy every year. This is my favorite Christmas memory and what Christmas means to me.

Christmas Snow

​

Christmas means to me a time when it snows and everything looks prettier than before. Me and my family usually gather around the Christmas tree to open presents on Christmas morning and we usually drink hot chocolate. We get in our stockings and find all our little presents. Before my granny died, she gave me a little carebear Christmas. I cherish that present so much because it was my last Christmas gift from her. It makes me sad but it is such a blessing to have that to remember her by.​

The Perfect Christmas ​

On that dazzling day on that cold winter's day. The lights are like worlds of their own. ​The sounds of each ding are like a beautiful orchestra when you open those magnificent presents. Each rip is hope. ​Hope that you get a joyous gift as their loving parents are looking on. ​That is Christmas, the feeling of joy, the feeling of love, this is perfect, this is Christmas.

True Meaning of Christmas

​

Christmas means a lot to me, and it has always been very important to me and my family. To me, Christmas means to celebrate Jesus, and his birthday. It gives us time to celebrate, to have cherishing moments with family and friends, and to warm up around the fireplace and tell stories. It has many important traditions too, like making a birthday cake for the lord, and building gingerbread houses with friends. This is what Christmas means to me.

What Does Christmas Mean to Me?

​

What does Christmas means to me, Christmas mean a lot to me and my family. We celebrate the lord because we're grateful for what he has done for us and we have a moment of silence for the lord to celebrate him. We have a dinner, we pray, and we open presents. Christmas is not just about opening presents though, its God’s birthday so you want to celebrate him because he's done so much for us. We also watch some Christmas movies, after we eat, we also have a Christmas play at my church. So Christmas means spending more time with family, showing gratitude, loving, sharing, making people happy, and remembering the birth of the savior Jesus Christ.

​Christmas for Caretakers

To the caretakers working through the holidays: While you may wish to be home, we are glad you are there, taking care of the unhealthy whom are unable to care for themselves. You are making the people you are caring for feel less alone. You and your family should be proud of you for giving up your time to care for the others around you. We, as a community, should be proud as you take time out of your holiday season to help others in need. Thank you for all you do.

The Importance of Family ​

Family is something so important to me. During the pandemic, people really started to reflect on the importance of family. It's important to be able to share time and have fun with your loved ones because you don’t know how much time you have left with them. Every holiday you spend with family and friends is just as important as the first one. Being able to see family and friends during this time is precious and we should always and truly cherish it. Knowing the true meaning of family is essential, just like the true meaning behind Christmas memories. love, happiness, joy, friends.. , but most of all family.

One Wish

​

If I had one wish, I would wish to have a Mom because I see kids with both parents on Christmas. It makes me kinda sad because I want to know what it feels like to have a whole family together and just talk about how we have been. Also, it seems nice when families watch movies, drink hot cocoa, and wrap presents.. when everyone gets together and plays games with one another, dances, and just has fun. The night before Christmas your mom tucks you in and everything… These are things I wish I could have.

​

​One Thing I Love About Christmas

One thing I love about Christmas is the movies that get produced by people yearly, such as, “The Grinch,” or “Home Alone.” But my favorite movie in the whole wide world would have to be, “The Polar Express.” “The Polar Express,” is one of the, if not the best, Christmas movies; not because it's got a magic train in it, but because of the adventure that happens in the movie. The adventure in the movie is such a joy ride! There are twists and turns around every bend. The soundtrack is just so amazing and sweet. Plus- the ending of the movie is amazing as well. Everyone meets Santa Claus with the main character getting a wish from him. It is jaw-dropping!

Christmas Wish ​

If I could grant one wish for Christmas, I would want all the soldiers to come home to their families. Most people are aware that many soldiers can’t come home for the holidays. I know this must be hard. I’m sure the soldiers would be happier to come home and see their loved ones. Others get to celebrate the holiday with their families, so they deserve a break for all the hard work they put into serving this country every day. With that being said, I want to say thank you. Thank you for all you do & for your sacrifices. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.

The Best Christmas Gift

​

The best gift I ever received was in December of last year. My mother and father told me to get in the truck, that he had to go get something. It was about a two-hour drive and my older sister kept laughing saying, “You're gonna love this!” I was confused because I wasn't supposed to be getting anything. When we arrive to our destination, a lady comes up to the truck and says, “Are you here for him?” My parents said yes. I’m a bit confused. Who is he?? The lady goes to the vehicle and comes back with a Saint Bernard puppy. We were taking him home and he was all mine! On our way to our house, we stopped at the store to get him some stuff and people kept coming up to us asking to pet him and saying he was so cute. That's when I decided to call him Romeo. So December 2019 was the best Christmas I've ever had.

A Christmas Wish ​

If I could grant one wish for the world, I would wish to make this place better. No more sadness, just a generation of a healthier and happier environment. I wish people would not have to suffer in the cold and could be in a big, warm house instead of being on the sidewalk. I wish that everyone could have a safe, happy, fulfilling life. That is my wish.

A Christmas Gift ​

The best thing I've given to someone on Christmas was a blanket. My Grammie and I purchased it for my Mom. It wasn’t just an ordinary blanket, but a very special one that had a picture of Mom and Papaw (her dad) on it. He had just recently passed on August 2nd, 2021. She was very thankful and now sleeps with it every night.

The Gift of Acceptance ​

If I could have one Christmas wish, it would be for everyone to accept one another and treat each other equally. One major problem with the world is the way some people treat others based on their differences. It's important to remember everyone's the same on the inside regardless of religion, race, sexuality, or gender. We are all human.
