In fact, most everyone has a favorite thing about the Christmas holiday season. Some may like the decorations, festivity, cookies, Santa Claus, or the presents! “I like food because it’s delicious,”said Maddie.“I like opening gifts,” said Brody Vela, 7th grader.

“To give to people,” said Vela.

Did you know that Christmas isn’t just about presents it’s about spending time with family. Not all families are able to celebrate Christmas for either religious reasons or just don’t have the money.

When it’s Christmas break not all people spend it relaxing in fact people go to spend it with family. People spend tons of money on plane tickets to see family for such a short time but it’s worth it to get to spend the happiest time of year with the people you love.
