Christmas Traditions

Me and my family have many different Christmas traditions. Most of them we have had for a long time. Traditions are very important to me and my family so that is why we have many of them.

Usually each of us gets to pick one ornament to put on the tree of our choice. Each year it grows and grows. Next we always get a new pair of pj’s every Christmas eve that we wear to bed that night. Then we wake up that morning with our Christmas pj’s on. My family on my moms side always draws names to see who has to by a present for who. I have always really enjoyed getting presents for my cousins and my aunts and uncles. Last but not least me and my family always opens one present at Christmas eve. It really gets us excited for what is coming in the morning.

An Open letter to a Unicorn

Dear Unicorn,

Many people don’t believe in you, but I do. You have been one of my

favorite animal because of your long flowing mane and the sound of your beautiful neighing. Your glorious, sparkling horn has given kids around the world the opportunity to believe. When times were hard you lifted my spirit and when times were happy you embraced the feeling. When I was first “introduced” to you, my arms got the goosebumps and my heart was filled with hope; my life was changed forever. I know many people that are scared of what people think of them if they say they like unicorns. That applies to everything and I think you helped people stand up for themselves. Thanks again!  

 

love,

  Ella
