A Sharing Memory

Nastasia Andrew has always enjoyed her Christmas with her family and friends. She feels good about Christmas because it's a time for sharing and being with her friends.

During Christmas Eve Nastasia wraps presents and goodies for loved ones and good friends. She also gets excited because she is happy for the kids and it makes the kids happy for what they get.

Christmas day, Nastasia cooks and has Christmas dinner for her family and some friends. She is happy because her family is together and it makes her feel good inside when everyone is together. She will not forget Christmas because Christmas is to make everyone happy, and seeing everyone enjoy each other brings the Spirit of Christmas alive for her.

Nastasia was especially excited about New Year's this time, and hugged her whole family and all of her friends. She also enjoyed the square dance at the gym where everyone was together celebrating the old year as it turned into the new year. Nastasia always stays close to her family and friends on special occasions and hopes that every New Year is better than the previous year.
