Christmas to me means to be with family and love one another and be greatful for being alive, because Jesus died on the cross for our sins. We shouldn't just celebrate it just on Christmas we need to celebrate it everyday all day because you wake up everyday and live and breathe because of Him. So Christmas to me means to love and live on this day. It doesn't matter how many presents or what you get that matter, it's love and life. So enjoy Christmas because that's what it means to me. -Jessie Hurlbut
The center of Christmas for my family has always been food. Not so much the eating part but the making of too much food, everybody bringing to-go boxes, and the kitchen being the one room that EVERYBODY is. If you want some quiet you go to the living room because every other room is filled with people, food, and stories from the past year. I am so happy I am finally of the age I am able to learn all of my grandma's recipes. Before I would come in to the kitchen and just walk right back out because I didn't have a reason to be in there and I had no idea what anyone was talking about. It is true that Christ is the center of Christmas but the food is a close second in my family. Always has been and always will be. - Jessie Arnold
Christmas is special to me for lots of reasons. I get to give and receive gifts, go to Christmas events, and spend time with my friends and family. But most of all, I get to celebrate Jesus' birthday! - Rafael
