Some holiday memories are just plain
crazy
Dylan Busch
Lockeford
Honorable Mention: Juvenile Division, Fiction I think Christmas
is the best time of year. I spend more time with my family than I would
regularly. I am going to tell you about my Christmas memories and the
traditional things my family does.
My family usually buys a tree that is too big for our house. We always
end up moving the furniture instead of clipping the tree. Since I live
right next to my grandparents, we always help decorate each other’s
tree. When I wake up the next morning some of the decorations are laying
on the floor beside our cats.
Every Christmas Eve is the hardest night to sleep. I get excited and
then wish it was already Christmas morning. After staying up until midnight,
I gradually drift off to dreamland.
The worst Christmas I ever had was when I was a baby, my first Christmas.
My mom and I had the flu. We had a joyful time throwing up together. We
went to the emergency room and got some medicine. After that, my mom always
got us flu shots.
I hope you have enjoyed laughing with me about my Christmas memories.
I am looking forward to this next Christmas. This is what my crazy family
does for Christmas.
