Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday out there. There’s just something in the air this time of year that I look forward to every year. Normally, my family and I will stay here over the holidays, but one particular Christmas we decided to go to Toronto to visit my family. Now, Toronto is used to a lot of green Christmases and snow only comes every now and then. That year, I was expecting the same, as I looked out at the green lawn on Christmas Eve, with the chances of it happening becoming bleak. The following morning, I received the best gift ever as I looked out the window, the street covered in beautiful, fluffy white snow! My cousins and I were ecstatic as we through on our coats and snow pants and jumped in the snow. I think we spent literally all day out there, just having the best time. To me, these little moments that you spend with your family are better than any gift under the tree, which is why I will cherish this memory for years to come.
My favorite holiday memory is when I was at my house and it was the 24th which is when I celebrate Christmas with my moms side of the family. That night I had ate so much that right when I got home, I thew up. That was the best Christmas because I actually fell asleep that night. After I threw up, I felt so much better and I was so tired that I just fell asleep! Every year, I hate the night before Christmas because I can never sleep. Therefore on the next day, I get super mad at everyone and Christmas is never very happy at my house. That one year was the best Christmas ever because since I slept the night before I was actually in the Christmas spirit on the day of Christmas.
Wow, that actually makes sense, it sucks that you threw up but I too find it very hard to sleep through the night on christmas. It must have been nice to wake up in the christmas spirit.
Every Christmas I get together with my moms side of the family in Ottawa, then my dads side of the family here. Its always really fun and I love spending time with my family but my favorite time of Christmas is when its just my immediate family. We go downstairs in the morning, and its just the best feeling in the world. So for me this blog isn't really about one specific moment that I remember, its more like my collective experience and memories and the part of Christmas I like the most.
Lol I'd love to see a picture of you with cornrows :). I've always wanted to go somewhere tropical like that and it's really cool how big of a surprise it was. I'm sure you had a blast.
I love Christmas, I mean really who doesn't? I love everything about it, the snow, the decorations, the joy and the feeling of it all! I love spending time with my family, around the tree just laughing and having a good time, this happens pretty much every Christmas but there is one particular Christmas that was especially fun. My cousins come over for Christmas every other year and back in 2012 after a long year of not seeing them, they came over for Christmas and stayed a week! It was the funniest week of my life! We laugh, we played, we joked and we laughed some more. I wouldn't have changed a thing, I will always remember the fun we had the Christmas! That year I didn't care about the gifts under the tree, I was just so happy that they were there with me!
My favorite Christmas memory is too hard to choose so I will talk about one of my favorite Christmas memories. I remember one year my family and I went up north for the holidays. We went to a cottage we rented up north and on our way there we got lost and it was so funny because our cousins were already there and we were just so lost. So instead of having a nice family dinner we ended up going to the nearest Tim Horton's. Then we finally made it to the cottage and spent the entire day playing in the snow and we had so much fun. It was so much fun even though we got lost. That's the thing about the holidays, even if things don't go the way they are supposed to go it always ends up fun. Grace Makinson
Christmas is on of the greatest times of the year. Me and my family LOVE this celebration and we always have a great time on this occasion. One of my best/favorite holiday memories is when my uncle came to visit us. My uncle lives in Calgary, so whenever we see him, it's a big deal. We all have such a great time when he comes (because he's the fun uncle). But one year we gave him a scrapbook filled with pictures of when we went to Mexico together. It was a little scrapbook filled with moments throughout the trip. It was so cute that it brought him to tears. He was sitting on the sofa laughing/crying and it warmed my heart by how much it impacted him. I think that was the best christmas I'd had ever have. To this day every time he comes to visit, he brings it with him.
I can’t really pick one specific Christmas that was my favourite because I’ve been doing the same thing since I was younger, and I’ve loved it since the beginning. How it works is that my brother and I usually wake up bright and early on Christmas morning and run to wake up my parents. Then we will usually open our presents and make pancakes, (my favourite breakfast). Later during the day, like at around lunch time, my grandparents will come over and then near supper time my cousins will finally arrive! To me, this is one of my favourite times of the day because we usually play tons of games all together and we also go play outside and have massive snowball fights. Family is very important to me, which is why I love this holiday so much and I hope to continue doing this in the years to come.
One year I had the best Christmas ever. First I woke up and there were so many awesome gifts under my tree. After that I went to my grandparent’s house for a huge Christmas brunch. It tasted so good. Then my family and I headed home and my cousins came over. We went tubing and the hill was huge and we had a blast. Then we all went over to my aunt’s house but now my entire family (which was a lot of people) was together and we celebrated Christmas by watching movies and playing games inside and outside. Then we had another huge Christmas dinner and opened some more gifts. It was such a fun Christmas and I will never forget it.
My favorite holiday memory is going to my cousin’s house on Christmas eve and having a party. Every year we go to his house and all my other family members meet us there. The best part is not receiving presents from them, but seeing them for the first time in a while; some of them I only see once a year. Another very good part about that night is the feast we have. It is not just a normal supper it is all the best family recipes in one delicious night! My favorite is my grandma’s famous mash potatoes.
My best holiday memory would be from 2007. I recall getting a radio and finding my stocking filled with candy canes, chocolate and toothbrushes and toothpaste. But no gift compared to the one my parents gave me December 10th that year. My baby sister Emily came home from the hospital, a newborn, just a couple days before Christmas day. It was her first Christmas and I was so excited to make it her best! I made her tons of cookies, even though she didnt eat. I saved up a couple dollars to buy her a christmas teddy bear and I painted her a picture of her and her teddy bear in my art class and gave it to her for Christmas as a present. Though all these memories are wonderful, the one that seems to be the clearest in my mind is the one where I first showed Emily my favorite Christmas decoration. It is a miniature carousel that plays holiday songs as the horses go up and down. Though Emily couldn't talk yet, I knew she loved it because she'd spend hours just lying on her stomach in front of the horses laughing and giggling and making baby noises. Her birthday is tomorrow, and I can't believe she's already turning 7! It feels like all of this happened yesterday!
My favorite holiday memory happens almost every year now. My favorite holiday memory is when I go to my aunt's house on Christmas eve where all my cousins, uncles, grandmother and aunts are. We always give gifts, usually money because who would deny that, and have a great dinner that always comes with an argument about some thing at the end, for example about something political about Montreal and such. I usually just sit back and laugh because it's always funny to see the person who is wrong get "butt hurt" about, because they complain about it the most, most of the time, and just get completely embarrassed. That's my favorite holiday memory.
My favorite Christmas memory is every year. On the night of Christmas, I usually go to my aunt’s house with my family and my uncles, aunts and cousins go also and we have a dinner. We’re a pretty big family so we can get really loud. Every year, we play a game where we have presents and one by one we all take a gift and open it. If someone like the gift that they received, they keep it, but if they don’t like it, they can exchange with someone else. I’m a pretty terrible at explaining things but once you play, it gets easy. We usually start screaming, (as a joke) telling people what presents we should take and laugh at the person who got the bad present. I find this tradition so fun because we really bond and it’s always so funny. We always end up going crazy and sometimes get noise complaints from my aunt’s neighbors.
My best holiday memory was last year during Chanukah. I was going to Florida for the break to visit my family. We decided that year to do a gift exchange since all the cousins were together which rarely happens. Everyone bought their presents and the family members from Montreal brought them to Florida. I remember my brother got my four year old girl cousin and had to go to Toys R Us to find Barbies. The gift I had to buy was for the oldest cousin and it was pretty easy to find him a gift. I chose to get him cufflinks and candy. One night in Florida we all met up at a restaurant. All the cousins sat at one table and the parents at another. I was so happy that I got to see my cousins from Florida that I don't get to see very often. We did the exchange and I remember my little cousin was extremely happy to get her Barbies. I got nail polish and a nice bag and was really happy but I was just happy that the whole family was together. I hope this year to make more great holiday memories like last year.
My favorite memory that I have was when I was younger. My brothers and I used to give each other the most random gifts. They weren't even real gifts, they were just things lying around the house. So, that christmas, we decided to give each other our random gifts first and I gave my brothers their old soccer trophies, I still dont know why I did. My middle brother, he was about nine years old, he gave me a pencil case with a 20 dollar bill inside. I started freaking out because he just gave me 20 dollars! My mom was really surprised so she asked him, where did you get that money? Is it yours? And my brother replied: "No...I took it from Alisha's wallet......"
My favourite holiday memory can not be pinned down to just one. My favourite part of Christmas is when we're opening our stockings. My sister, brother and I all gather on my parent's bed with our stockings. We're all still in our pajamas with messy bedhead just sitting there opening presents. It's not really the fact of opening the presents, it's more that when you're tired everything random can be really funny. Even though it's Christmas my whole family is always tired except my mom. So we're all just laughing at things and she is wondering why we're so crazy. Mostly I just love to spend time off school and hang out with my friends and family for like two weeks.
I have tons of holiday memories, but one in which I will cherish and remember forever, happened last year. It was on Christmas day, after my sister and I had opened all of our presents, and given all of ours to our friends and family, and after we all had our annual christmas themed breakfast together. This all finished at about 10:30. It was such a beautiful day outside, so my sister and I decided to go for a run. We wore warm clothes and hats, and took off expecting to be done by about 11:00. But when we got outside, it was even nicer than I thought it was. Families were kissing each other, and giving hugs. Kids were playing outside with their new toys, and it couldn't have made me happier. Families kept on smiling at us and saying hi, and it was a lot of fun. We ended up running until 11:45, because of how nice of an atmosphere it was. It also started snowing half way through the run which made everything a whole lot more magical :)
I have many Christmas memories, but my favorite memories are on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, my entire family, including; Aunt's, Uncle's and Cousin's meet at my grandmothers house around 6:00PM. We eat, talk to each other, share laughs, catch-up and best of all we open early Christmas present's from "Santa". We give present's and best of all receive present's. I cannot express my gratitude to my grandmother, she does this every year, spends so much money on everyone and works so hard. This is my favorite holiday memory because of the time I get to spend with my family. I will cherish these moments forever!
My favorite holiday memory took place about 5 years ago on a sled mountain with all my cousins. Every year my cousins and I get together to hang out and celebrate Christmas and 5 years ago we all decided to go tobogganing. When we got to the mountain there was this path down that a couple of teenagers made, it kind of resembled a lot of tiny ramps except it was ice. Me being the smartest person in the world decided to go down the icy death path without telling anyone. When I started down it was ok then by the third ramp I started to fly off my saucer and then, BOOM! I woke up to my cousins crowded around me, apparently what happened was I flew off my saucer because of one of the ramps and hit my head on the ice. I was bleeding everywhere it wasn’t a pretty sight. This is my favorite memory because I was surrounded by my family and it’s a cool story to tell at parties.
My favorite holiday memory was in 2007. My parents organized a scavenger hunt for my siblings and I around the house. We first started with a card in the tree and all opened it together. We had to solve a riddle to find the next clue. We had about 4 different clues hidden in different places in the house. All of the clues and riddles were Disney themed, although we never caught on. Finally we reached the last clue which was a puzzle that we had to assemble together. Once the puzzle was put together, the Magic Kingdom was displayed. We were still young so even after seeing the Magic Kingdom, it took us a while to catch on. When we did finally figure it out, we were ecstatic to find out that we were going to Disney for the first time! Definetly the best way of finding out! -Elisabeth Laflamme
My best holiday memory ahs to be in 2008 when i spent the holidays in mexico. I went up to mexico with my family, my granparents and cousins during christmas break. What made this holiday perfect is that i left the 26th so i still go to have a beautiful traditional white chirstmas, but i also got to escape the freezing cold right after. At first, i thought i wouldn't like spening the holidays in another country but it ended up being so incredibly fun. I absolutely loved that vacation and i espescially loved being able to experience it with amazing people. That is my favourite holiday memory.
I do not have one single holiday memory that stands out to mr as being the best, for me it is more of a collective group of past christmases that are all great. Every christmas, my family meets up a one of our houses and we spent the day together. We eat, we laugh, we rejoice in the fact that we are all reunited because of the spirit of christmas. I live christmas because it is a reason to get together and just be happy for a day, no complications.
I have a lot of special Christmas memories but there is obviously one that stands out more than the rest. I don’t remember how old I was but I was pretty young but old enough to remember! So everything Christmas I go to my grandparents and everyone on my mom’s side of the family goes also. My cousins, siblings and I built a huge snow fort outside of the house and had a snowball fight with it, then we came into the house to a delicious family dinner and presents, it was great.
My favorite holiday memory would definitely have to be the time I traveled to Philippines for a month during the christmas break back in grade 5. It was such a fun experience and especially to witness the amount of fireworks that everyone fires as soon as the new year count down hits zero. It was also awesome to spend my break on the hot beach while everyone else in Canada suffered with the horrible cold weather. I also got to see family members and stay in our house which has 7 rooms so there was a lot of people. Overall it was a very fun experience and I hope i could do it again sometime.
My favourite holiday memory was new years eve 2009 when I went up to my cousins house up in North Bay Ontario. My uncle had built a rink in the backyard and that night, my uncle invited everybody from his neighborhood and that night we played hockey well past midnight. It was cold so my mum and my aunt had made large amount of hot chocolate for the kids and coffee for the adults. Hopefully this year we go to my uncle and we do this again because it was a lot of fun.
Ever Christmas is always so fun and always create new memories but my favourite Christmas memory is when I was 8. Every year, my family puts candles around our street on Christmas Eve so that Santa can "see" us. This tradition has been going for for 20 years long before my family even moved on our street. When I was 8, while we were lighting the candles, all of our neighbours came out to join us and we all celebrated together. I don't remember much of that night but I remember how much fun I had with all my neighbours!
I have many Christmas memory's and I have so much fun every christmas that I don't think I can choose one particular memory! I love christmas because it brings my family from all around the world together and we all have so much fun together no matter what we do! Whether we all go to Mexico together like we have done the years before or we stay home and ski, it's always fun because I'm with my family! I love Christmas so much and I can't wait for it to come this year!!!
I am excited for spending time with my family and friends. I am excited for a dinner with my family because it is always so good and fun. We always have it at our house and eat an amazing meal, about Turkey and mash potatoes. I always eat so fun with a bunch of desserts too. I always feel sick after. I also love giving presents to my family and my friends because we do secre Santa. It's so fun:) I love Santa so much! I love Christmas :))
For this holiday break im most looking forward to christmas day. Right when we wake up we have hot cocoa which is something i really love. Then my family and i open our presents which is definitely one of my favourite parts. Then we have breakfast. It usually consists of waffles and bacon and sausage. For lunch my grandparents come over and we have lunch. Then my cousins and aunts and uncles comeover for supper. Then we open gifts again and finally we sing christmas carols around the fire.
Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday out there. There’s just something in the air this time of year that I look forward to every year. Normally, my family and I will stay here over the holidays, but one particular Christmas we decided to go to Toronto to visit my family.

To me, these little moments that you spend with your family are better than any gift under the tree, which is why I will cherish this memory for years to come.
ReplyDeleteI agree! The true gift of Christmas is to be with your family and the presents are just a little extra thing to highlight the situation.
DeleteThat is so cute!!! Being with your family is the most important thing on Christmas.

ReplyDeleteI agree that being with your family on Christmas is a great feeling.
DeleteMy best holiday memory was the Christmas of 2010. My mother and father had been dropping hints for a while that we were doing something different for the holidays. One day our neighbor showed up to our door to invite us to their Christmas party but then he said “oh yeah you guys aren’t going to be here, sorry” and he left. That got me thinking, so for a few weeks I started to bug my mom and finally she told me: it was not her place to tell my sister and I. She got us to call our grandmother and she told us that we were going to Cuba! We went for a week, around New Years with our cousins to an all-inclusive resort. It was so much fun! We went swimming on the beach, we ate tons of great food and we visited the real Cuba. It was the best trip of my life and by far the best Christmas gift that I ever got! Also to top off the cliché tropical vacation… I got cornrows!
ReplyDeleteLol I'd love to see a picture of you with cornrows :). I've always wanted to go somewhere tropical like that and it's really cool how big of a surprise it was. I'm sure you had a blast.
DeleteThat sounds AMAZING! Being with family and being in Cuba sounds like the best present ever!
ReplyDeletePs. I'm sure you looked great with the cornrows
I love Christmas, I mean really who doesn't? I love everything about it, the snow, the decorations, the joy and the feeling of it all! I love spending time with my family, around the tree just laughing and having a good time, this happens pretty much every Christmas but there is one particular Christmas that was especially fun. My cousins come over for Christmas every other year and back in 2012 after a long year of not seeing them, they came over for Christmas and stayed a week! It was the funniest week of my life! We laugh, we played, we joked and we laughed some more. I wouldn't have changed a thing, I will always remember the fun we had the Christmas! That year I didn't care about the gifts under the tree, I was just so happy that they were there with me!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really nice! I love how the holidays bring families together.
DeleteMy favorite Christmas memory is too hard to choose so I will talk about one of my favorite Christmas memories. I remember one year my family and I went up north for the holidays. We went to a cottage we rented up north and on our way there we got lost and it was so funny because our cousins were already there and we were just so lost. So instead of having a nice family dinner we ended up going to the nearest Tim Horton's. Then we finally made it to the cottage and spent the entire day playing in the snow and we had so much fun. It was so much fun even though we got lost. That's the thing about the holidays, even if things don't go the way they are supposed to go it always ends up fun.
ReplyDeleteGrace Makinson
Thats so true, and it sounds like so much fun! The best moments are the unplanned ones.
DeleteChristmas is on of the greatest times of the year. Me and my family LOVE this celebration and we always have a great time on this occasion. One of my best/favorite holiday memories is when my uncle came to visit us. My uncle lives in Calgary, so whenever we see him, it's a big deal.

He was sitting on the sofa laughing/crying and it warmed my heart by how much it impacted him. I think that was the best christmas I'd had ever have.

ReplyDeleteThat sounds so nice! haha fun uncles are kinda the best so i see why its a big deal to see him!

Deletetubing is really fun, I used to go with my friends and family, sadly not anymore.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memory happens almost every year now. My favorite holiday memory is when I go to my aunt's house on Christmas eve where all my cousins, uncles, grandmother and aunts are. We always give gifts, usually money because who would deny that, and have a great dinner that always comes with an argument about some thing at the end, for example about something political about Montreal and such.

ReplyDeleteI have many Christmas memories, but my favorite memories are on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, my entire family, including; Aunt's, Uncle's and Cousin's meet at my grandmothers house around 6:00PM. We eat, talk to each other, share laughs, catch-up and best of all we open early Christmas present's from "Santa". We give present's and best of all receive present's. I cannot express my gratitude to my grandmother, she does this every year, spends so much money on everyone and works so hard. This is my favorite holiday memory because of the time I get to spend with my family. I will cherish these moments forever!
ReplyDeleteI love spending time with my family too.
DeleteMy favorite holiday memory took place about 5 years ago on a sled mountain with all my cousins. Every year my cousins and I get together to hang out and celebrate Christmas and 5 years ago we all decided to go tobogganing. When we got to the mountain there was this path down that a couple of teenagers made, it kind of resembled a lot of tiny ramps except it was ice. Me being the smartest person in the world decided to go down the icy death path without telling anyone. When I started down it was ok then by the third ramp I started to fly off my saucer and then, BOOM! I woke up to my cousins crowded around me, apparently what happened was I flew off my saucer because of one of the ramps and hit my head on the ice. I was bleeding everywhere it wasn’t a pretty sight. This is my favorite memory because I was surrounded by my family and it’s a cool story to tell at parties.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memory was in 2007. My parents organized a scavenger hunt for my siblings and I around the house. We first started with a card in the tree and all opened it together. We had to solve a riddle to find the next clue. We had about 4 different clues hidden in different places in the house. All of the clues and riddles were Disney themed, although we never caught on. Finally we reached the last clue which was a puzzle that we had to assemble together. Once the puzzle was put together, the Magic Kingdom was displayed. We were still young so even after seeing the Magic Kingdom, it took us a while to catch on. When we did finally figure it out, we were ecstatic to find out that we were going to Disney for the first time! Definetly the best way of finding out!

My best holiday memory ahs to be in 2008 when i spent the holidays in mexico. I went up to mexico with my family, my granparents and cousins during christmas break. What made this holiday perfect is that i left the 26th so i still go to have a beautiful traditional white chirstmas, but i also got to escape the freezing cold right after. At first, i thought i wouldn't like spening the holidays in another country but it ended up being so incredibly fun. I absolutely loved that vacation and i espescially loved being able to experience it with amazing people. That is my favourite holiday memory.
ReplyDeleteI do not have one single holiday memory that stands out to mr as being the best, for me it is more of a collective group of past christmases that are all great. Every christmas, my family meets up a one of our houses and we spent the day together. We eat, we laugh, we rejoice in the fact that we are all reunited because of the spirit of christmas. I live christmas because it is a reason to get together and just be happy for a day, no complications.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of special Christmas memories but there is obviously one that stands out more than the rest. I don’t remember how old I was but I was pretty young but old enough to remember! So everything Christmas I go to my grandparents and everyone on my mom’s side of the family goes also. My cousins, siblings and I built a huge snow fort outside of the house and had a snowball fight with it, then we came into the house to a delicious family dinner and presents, it was great.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday memory would definitely have to be the time I traveled to Philippines for a month during the christmas break back in grade 5. It was such a fun experience and especially to witness the amount of fireworks that everyone fires as soon as the new year count down hits zero. It was also awesome to spend my break on the hot beach while everyone else in Canada suffered with the horrible cold weather. I also got to see family members and stay in our house which has 7 rooms so there was a lot of people. Overall it was a very fun experience and I hope i could do it again sometime.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite holiday memory was new years eve 2009 when I went up to my cousins house up in North Bay Ontario. My uncle had built a rink in the backyard and that night, my uncle invited everybody from his neighborhood and that night we played hockey well past midnight. It was cold so my mum and my aunt had made large amount of hot chocolate for the kids and coffee for the adults. Hopefully this year we go to my uncle and we do this again because it was a lot of fun.

ReplyDeleteEver Christmas is always so fun and always create new memories but my favourite Christmas memory is when I was 8. Every year, my family puts candles around our street on Christmas Eve so that Santa can "see" us. This tradition has been going for for 20 years long before my family even moved on our street. When I was 8, while we were lighting the candles, all of our neighbours came out to join us and we all celebrated together. I don't remember much of that night but I remember how much fun I had with all my neighbours!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute idea! I want to do that on my street!
DeleteI have many Christmas memory's and I have so much fun every christmas that I don't think I can choose one particular memory! I love christmas because it brings my family from all around the world together and we all have so much fun together no matter what we do! Whether we all go to Mexico together like we have done the years before or we stay home and ski, it's always fun because I'm with my family! I love Christmas so much and I can't wait for it to come this year!!!

ReplyDeleteI am excited for spending time with my family and friends. I am excited for a dinner with my family because it is always so good and fun. We always have it at our house and eat an amazing meal, about Turkey and mash potatoes. I always eat so fun with a bunch of desserts too. I always feel sick after.

DeleteFor this holiday break im most looking forward to christmas day. Right when we wake up we have hot cocoa which is something i really love. Then my family and i open our presents which is definitely one of my favourite parts. Then we have breakfast. It usually consists of waffles and bacon and sausage. For lunch my grandparents come over and we have lunch. Then my cousins and aunts and uncles comeover for supper. Then we open gifts again and finally we sing christmas carols around the fire.
