My thoughts about last Christmas

By Alana Alvarado/Young Scholar

Last Christmas was very exciting. Although I wasn’t with all my family, it was good.

I’m from Virginia, so most of my family is there. In Virginia, my family celebrates in a big way.

We have a Christmas Eve cookie and cocoa social with games and Christmas movies at my great-grandparents’ house.

On Christmas we go back to our great-grandparents’ house for a big dinner.

I have 18 cousins, and we have a ball.

We aren’t going to Virginia for Christmas, but we’re going to see all my family on a video call this year.

This Christmas is probably going to be better than last, because seeing my family is the best gift of all.
