A Wonderful Christmas

 

Christmas comes once a year. Christmas is a time for giving, sharing and being with those you love. The best part of Christmas is when you see your little sister or brother or one of your own little children open their presents on Christmas day. But Christmas isn't everyone's favorite holiday because someone you cared deeply for may have left you and isn't coming back. So Christmas has different meanings for different people.

We all have fantasies. Have you ever fantasized how you would want your holiday to be? One of my fantasies would take place in a Marshall with my whole family. The weather outside would be sky high with snow! The temperature would be just right so you could stay outside for hours having a wonderful time. Our house would smell so good from all the cooking and baking that your mouth would start to water. We'd decorate the Christmas tree and the star would shine brightly above. After the food was all done we'd go up to the school and watch the community programs. After that we'd go back home and enjoy a big supper. On Christmas day we'd wake up and open our presents. The day would be filled with happy memories we would never forget.

In my other fantasy I would to take my little daughter on a trip she would never forget! I'd take her to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, along with Jason, of course. On our way we'd stop at Anchorage for the night and do some shopping. I'd let Mary pick out a special toy because we'd have a long ways to fly. When we reached Orlando we'd stay in a nice hotel with a wonderful view. After unpacking we'd go to Disney World and look around. Mary would be having such a good time seeing all the cartoon characters that we'd stay there for a week.

On our way home we'd stop at Anchorage again and spend three days there, mostly shopping at the malls. Then we'd head on home and enjoy spending time with family again!
