During this festive season, people would have a big family gathering, games, sing-a-longs, a huge feast, and for Christians maybe even scripture reading. Everyone in my family felt happy and excited during this festival as there were a lot of presents being passed around.

Christmas is a time for fun and laughter with everyone in the world together with their families and celebrating as one. Christmas originated from Christians belief and has been passed down for generations. Presents are the main attraction during Christmas and many hours are used to buy presents, but the main thing is to gather as a family together to talk and have fun with each other. Some time before Christmas, my church ward would come together and celebrate Christmas as a church by passing presents, eat together and have fun.

This Christmas was more special this year. My aunts, grandmother and I went to church a few days before Christmas to teach more people about how Christmas originated. We had to have roles and we those few days were either guides, basket weavers or King Harold’s wife, which was a torturing role as we had to either fan him or feed him grapes. We all had a great laugh and great fun those few days and found it meaningful and hard to forget.

On the big day, everyone came to my parent’s house to celebrate. We ate ham, salad, duck, mash potato, vegetable soup and log cake. After the huge feast, we had scripture reading and singing, we also listened to the radio for Christmas carols. Games too were part of our celebration and everyone had fun winning gifts from various games.

The grand finale to the perfect Christmas was the presents! Gift wrappers were thrown all around, thank you’s and smiles could be seen on everyone’s face. Christmas that year was specially special as not only did we celebrate it as a family, we even showed people who entered our church the true meaning of a happy Christmas.
