Christmas Day

Everyone loves the winter holidays! Why shouldn't you? All the presents, family reunions, presents, the yummy food, presents, the drinks, and of course the PRESENTS! I love presents. I guess you could say I'm a spoiled brat because I got everything I asked for. My Christmas day was pretty fun. This is the first year we (my intermediate family) have hosted Christmas and it was great. The food was delicious (compliments to my stepmami) and the drinks (Spanish type of beverages) were just awesome. My family was well behaved for once. No drama, no fighting. It kind of felt weird actually. We did the classic Secret Santa and of course no one was really surprised because everyone kind of had an idea of who had gotten them. All in all it was good.

Winter holidays are a time to rejoice, relax, and reboost your energy for the next year. This is how I think most Americans spend it anyways. Celebrating with family and thanking everyone for the presents (even those you hate). It's traditional to spend it with your family and party for New Years. Which is definitely what most Americans do. We are always looking for excuses to go out and have fun. Holidays are spent by most Americans eating, drinking, and having a good time. Which is how I'm spending mine. What an American!
