My Favorite Christmas Memory


My Favorite Christmas memory is playing in the snow with my stepdad, Cody. We have snowball fights and make snowmen. It is so much fun.

My Favorite Christmas Memory


My favorite Christmas memory is playing in the snow with my Mommy, Daddy and Sissy. To warm up we come inside and my Mommy fixes us hot chocolate and we cuddle and watch Christmas movies. It makes me feel good to lay on the couch and look at the Christmas tree with my family.

Christmas Memory


My favorite Christmas memory is spending time with my grandma before she went to heaven. I will always remember her taking pictures of me and my siblings near the fireplace. I will miss her this Christmas.


Christmas Makes Me Happy


Christmas makes me feel as happy as a horse eating hay! Every year, I wear special Christmas pajamas and open presents when I wake up. I dream of white snowy Christmases where I can make snow angels, roll around in the snow and even eat it! Christmas is my favorite holiday!

Christmas Tradition


Decorating the Christmas tree is really fun! We wear Christmas pajamas and drink hot cocoa. We have a special Santa Bear ornament that Pop Pop and Mimi hide in the house. Whoever finds Santa Bear gets to put it on the tree! Pop Pop and Mimi always make Christmas super fun.

What Christmas Means


Some kids would say that their presents under the tree are the most important part of Christmas, I believe Christmas means spending time with those we care about! We can do this by celebrating the holiday season by continuing friend and family traditions. Without those we care about, Christmas would no longer be the most wonderful time of the year! Merry Christmas, everyone!


Christmas Traditions


The family Christmas tradition my family observes every year during the Christmas season is making gingerbread cookies on Christmas Eve. My Grandma is great at making gingerbread cookies. I love eating them because it feels like I am floating in the air when I take a bite. The smell and taste lets me know that it is Christmas.

Family Christmas


To me Christmas is a time to be with your family, to bake gingerbread, and to have snowball fights. Christmas is when you sit down and drink hot chocolate, and when you enjoy life. A time when it’s snowy and beautiful. Christmas isn’t actually warm, but it is in our hearts. I hope everyone enjoys Christmas as much as I do.

The Meaning of Christmas


To me Christmas means spending time with my family, building snowmans, eating dinner together, decorating the tree, and baking cookies. Christmas means to me opening presents together, and being grateful for the presents I got. And my favorite of all, drinking hot cocoa together. Christmas is my favorite time of year.

​A Message to Healthcare Workers


A message I have for medical caretakers working through the holidays is to keep going and never give up! Even though you may not get to spend the holidays with your family, you are family to your patients. You are making a difference in this world, remember to keep your head up and have confidence in yourself. Now listeners, when you see a nurse in uniform, thank them for taking their family time and spending it with their patients!

A Funny Christmas


One of my funniest Christmas experiences was that one time I was opening a present and after all the wrapping paper I finally got to the box, and it turned out to be a coffee machine box. I instantly say “Mom, what is this? Did I accidentally open yours?” She said “No, no, no sweetheart, that was a leftover box.” My family and I were cackling. I felt embarrassed too, it turned out it was my present and it was dolls.

Christmas


I hope the ones in the hospital aren’t sad because you feel lonely on Christmas. Just think about the good things, don’t think about the bad things. Just know you are always loved by those who want you to feel good on Christmas. Everything will work out well for you because the doctors are there to make you healthy again. They care about you, and so do I.
