Every year, when December comes around, I get very excited because it's time for Christmas! Christmas is a special holiday that brings families and friends together. It’s not just about gifts; it’s also about sharing love and joy with people we care about.

In my school, we celebrate Christmas in many fun ways. We decorate our classroom with colorful lights and pretty paper stars. There’s always a big tree in the corner of the room, covered in shiny ornaments and a shining star on top. The teacher lets us put up our handmade decorations too. I made a red-and-green wreath last year, and it still hangs proudly on the wall.

One of my favorite things during Christmas is singing carols. My classmates and I practice songs like “Jingle Bells” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” On the day before winter break, we even go to sing at a nearby nursing home. Seeing the smiles on the elderly people’s faces makes me feel so warm inside.

Of course, there are presents! But instead of focusing on what I’ll receive, I enjoy choosing gifts for my family and friends. This year, I’m making bookmarks for everyone using colorful markers and glitter glue. I think they will love them!

The best part of Christmas is spending time with my family. We usually have a big dinner with turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. After dinner, we gather around the fireplace to open presents and watch classic movies like A Charlie Brown Christmas. It’s cozy and magical.

Christmas teaches me to be kind and generous. Even though it happens once a year, its spirit stays with me all year long. I hope this Christmas can bring happiness to everyone, just like it does for me.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
