Christmas 's memories

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I still don’t know when I began expecting this time coming that much. I feel happy and warm whenever I think about such special and wonderful events on every Christmas. I can get together with my family and my friends, decorate Christmas’ tree and go out to enjoy beautiful decorations on the Churches or on the public places. I had a lot of good memories with my friends and family on Christmas time. The first memory I remember was I went out with my best friends to go to the Church on five or sixes years ago. At that time my hometown was really crowed and had many traffic jams. All of the streets were congested with people and vehicles. It was so hard to get into the main center of the Church. Furthermore, the weather of that Christmas was freezing cold, especially my hometown located in the highland of our country. We wore many warm clothes and hold hands tightly to go throught the crowd. Finally we could get into the Church and worked around to see people decorated Christmas trees and around the Church. Everything was so beautiful and miraculous. The colorful lights were twinkling and caught of everyone in the cold night. It made people feel warm when they looked at those twinkling lights. Like everyone we were absorbed to see all of special things going on around us. Even though, we were not Christians, we still really enjoy and cherish this time. I think it has been an international and common event for everyone every religion in the world, not just only for Christian people. After walking around the Church, we went to the studio to take pictures. In the studio had a lot of beautiful decorations for Christmas, we loved talking pictures over there and saved those for memories. I didn’t do a lot of special things on that day, but I felt something really special and unforgettable time with my friends when I remember the time we took pictures together. The second Christmas I couldn’t forget was the time my family celebrated Christmas together. With me it was truly a great and meaningful time. My father placed Santa Clause to make us happy and dance with us. He really looked like Santa Clause because his chubby shape. His face was full of love toward us. He always made his children feel secure and warm. That has been always the most unique thing I proud of my dad. At that Christmas, we had a buffet party with the presents of many our relatives and our family’s close friends. There were a lot of delicious food and fruits that my mom and we made. Everyone was all happy and enjoyable. We were really excited to play around with Christmas’s tree because it was the first time we were allowed to have Christmas tree in our life. We had to take a lot of time convincing my dad to buy and decorate a Christmas tree, even though my grandfather didn’t want us to put the Christian’s stuff against Buddhist religion. That was also the reason I used to cry many time whenever Christmas coming without having Christmas tree. Seeing Christmas tree I felt it was hiding a lot of miraculous and mysterious things about Christmas. Moreover the last thing I liked to talk about was my time trying to give Christmas gifts for my sisters. I had to stay up late and waited until they all slept and secretly put the presents on their beds. I hope they would feel the Christmas’s atmosphere and see their happy expressions when they received the gifts from Santa Clause. That was the thing I didn’t experience, therefore I wanted my sisters would feel happy and believe more in the beautiful and miraculous thing in Christmas.
