Christmas At Grandma's

Whenever I think about Christmas, I think about grandma's house. The first thing that comes to mind is . The first time that it is so beautiful! It doesn't always on Christmas either, and that makes me .

Christmas is the best time to get with family, it's so full of fun and ness. When my sisters come over we sit at the table and about the silly things that we've done and sometimes I get and when they bring up something from the past that I don't want anyone to know about or care to discuss. But I them regardless.

When I was younger, my sisters and our cousins would go outside to play in the and build men. We would also have ball fights and make angels. What a time that was!

Another favorite thing of mine is the Christmas tree. My favorite part of the Christmas tree is the on top. Seeing all of the under the tree brings me back to my childhood and brings and a to my face.

When dinner is ready we gather around the table and eat all of the wonderful food that grandma ingly prepared. Yummy ! Men eat in the living room and watch the football game on tv, and women and children eat in the dining room. The younger kid's usually start fights and make eachother . Arguing at the table makes me and , but sometimes I at it and think it's funny. After eating all of that rich and delicious food, I feel .

After dinner we usually sit around the tree and open the 's. I am usually with what I get for Christmas, although it isn't as fun as it used to be when I was a kid. My sisters are always eager and when it's time to open the 's that I bought or made for them, only because I give the best every year .

When it's time to go home, it's a feeling, because I wish that the day would last forever. I give everyone a hug and goodbye, and go home. Sometimes I when I get home, only because I rarely see my dad and sisters. But I quickly , because I know that it won't be very long before I see them again.

It's been almost 2 years since I've seen , and since I've been home. Every holiday that goes by without being with my family makes me home and . But,we are going to make it an effort to fly and see them this year. My fiance Jerry and I had made plans to see our families last year (we were living in Dallas, Texas at the time), but ended having to move, and the airline and priceline refused to re-route our flight going from Tampa, Florida to Detroit, Michigan instead, and they wouldn't give us our back either, that made me .

We are making plans to fly for Thanksgiving this year, if we have the , and if work permits it, we will fly for Christmas too. I will be so to see my family! I my family so much, can't wait to see them, and the too!
