Christmas Traditions

Every year a few days before Christmas my mom and my sisters bakes lots of red velvet cookies. They probably make atleast 200 cookies along with the home made icing to go on them. The cookies are mostly given out to our friends and neighbors along with some brought to the Christmas partys my parents go to. All of the cookies are decerated with icing and muti colored sprinkles. I love this tradition because I get to eat all the cookies I want just after there baked.

Presents

I remember last Christmas the present I wanted all year was a snowboard. Because the year before I went snowboarding with some friends and I decided to try snowboarding. So after I rented the equipment I hit the slopes. It took a long time to get used to it but eventually I could snowboard pretty good. So I was instantly hooked on it and I knew I had to buy one. So I begged and begged for my parents to get me one for Christmas but they deciced it was too expensive. Which at about $200 a board, I dont blame them. So I eventually convinced them to pay for half of it and I would pay the other half. The week after I got it I took all my friends and indroduced them to snowboarding.

Santa

When I was little, my sisters and I all believed in Santa. We would all write a letter to Santa with toys we wanted and why we have been nice. Mom always sent us a reply letter pretending to be Santa. On Christmas Eve my parents would make sounds and say that it was Santas raindeer on the roof. Then on Christmas Morning we would wake up our parents and rush to open presents. The cookies and milk we laid out for Santa were always eaten. There was always a note that Santa left answering our questions we sent to him in our letters. Eventually we all figures out that Santa wasn't real but we enjoyed the time we did believe.
