Narrative Essay about Christmas: My Favorite Holiday
My favorite holiday is Christmas. The reason why I love Christmas so much is because I get to spend the holiday with my family. Christmas season, one of my main priorities is family and giving back. My entire family means so much to me and I love being able to give them gifts and spend the holiday with them. Make lots of memories at Christmas time and that is what matters most to me.
One thing around Christmas time is that me and my mom both loved to do is to give back at the holiday season. Me and my mom like to pick a place to go and give back at the person who is our waitress or helps us while we are there. We also have been doing this for three years. But the first time we did this I realized how meaningful it can be to give back. So, me and my mom picked Waffle House for our place to give back. There are lots of other places we could have picked but this one stood out to us. Me and my family like there food a lot, and we know that they do a lot while they are working during the day. So, me and my mom got a group of her friends together to come with us. We went there one day during the Christmas season of course, and we ate our food while we were there. But little dose our waitress know that we are going to give them a big surprise!
After we get done eating, our waitress asked us are you guys ready to pay. And we said yes, my mom and her friends all chipped in money for the tip. And the wound up being about 400 dollars. I know that was a lot but that was the idea of all of this. After we gave the waitress the big tip, she was over the moon happy. She even cried happy tears. The look on her face brought me so much joy. Turns out she didn't know if she was going to be able to get all of her family and friends the gifts they wanted. She said that it helped her out a lot for Christmas to be coming up. When me and my mom got back in the car, we were just so happy to know we helped someone out that really needed it. I was so happy for that waitress, and I think it really helped her.
I love doing other things during Christmas as well like baking cookies, opening presents of course, and like I was telling you I love to give back to other people. Another thing that I always do but happens on Christmas eve right before it's Christmas day, is to sleep downstairs and hang out with my brother. I have been doing that for as long as I can remember. I even did that last Christmas, and my brother was a senior in high school. I wake my family up early every Christmas, I wake them up at about 7:00 in the morning. And yes, I know that's early, but it just makes Christmas even more fun and special to me. For everything my mom and Dad do for me all year around, I make sure they have something really nice and special to open up or have on Christmas day. I also make sure my brother does to 'cause he has always been the best sibling to me. My mom and Dad's family live in Florida and Ohio which is far away from us. But this year I couldn't get to see my mom's family. But they sent us our presents in the mail, and they still meant a lot to me when I opened them. And my dad's family gave us our gifts in person, but about a month late which was fine with me because I still had a really nice time with them and loved everything I got.
Christmas isn't all about the presents it's more about the memories you get to make, your family, and for my family giving back. I love the way giving back makes me feel and how it can bring lots of joy into someone's heart. I love Christmas and probably always will. I have had lots of memories during this holiday season. And everyone made during the holiday season means so much to me.
