“Christmas is all about getting candies. And Santa will give presents to only those kids who are good and cool to the rest of the kids who are naughty.”

“This Christmas I will be spending time with friends and family. I am also looking forward to getting good presents. Excited to decorate the Christmas tree. This time is also about giving to the homeless people and donating toys and clothes to foster care kids. I enjoy doing these activities.”

“Christmas is a joyous time of the year when you spend time with family and friends. It’s all about giving, caring, visiting Santa, luminous decorations, and exchanging gifts. I like decorating a Christmas tree with ornaments and lights. There is an excited buzz in the air on Christmas eve, as children go to bed knowing they will get to open presents in the morning.”

“What I think Christmas is:
Vacation! – An excuse for sleeping in – Catching up on some work – Maybe some free time to play board games and video games
Snowstorms – They are just cool to look at
Christmas trees – I’m concerned about cutting down trees
Santa Claus – He’s a part of Christmas, but I don’t believe that he is real
Presents – Even though I don’t get any, it’s fun to think about what my parents will surprise me with.”

“The winter holidays are a time when we celebrate the joys of spending time indoors with family, cooking large meals, and giving gifts to others! I look forward to the feelings of community and cheer that the holidays bring!”
