''Roof Roof went my dog.'' I didn't care though, so I went back to bed. Then my eyes slowly opened and I yelled ''It's Christmas Eve! As I woke up my parents, my brother and sister walked in. Then my other brother and sister pulled up in their car and came to the living room. We ate breakfast and were very eager for tomorrow morning to open our presents. But after a couple hours, our family went to my grandparents house.

As we walked in, we could smell the food cooking. There was a blast of heat from the fireplace. When we saw everyone, we were all so excited. We hugged everybody and then lined up to get some food. We went to the kitchen and we could see the mashed potatoes, gravy, glazed ham, roast beef, whole turkey, whole chicken, and last but not least the fruit. On holidays, we always make an edible arrangement. By the end of the day, since we have such a big family, all of the food is gone. For dessert, there is ice cream sundaes, chocolate fountains with marshmallows and fruit to dip in and Klondike bars.

We went and said ''Hello'' to everybody. Everyone cheered but we had no idea why. Then somebody yelled ''Now we can eat!" We all went ''oh'' then got a nice plate of food. Then when we got our food, we would say a little prayer thanking that everybody is healthy, thankful for that day, and all of the food.

At about 9 o'clock, we would go home, because my cousin always said ''the earlier you go to bed, the faster you get presents.'' We loved presents so eventually we would go open family presents tonight. We could hear the sound of the wrapping paper ripping. We didn't want too but if we were really tired, my grandpa said to sleep. We loved our family, but we had to get some sleep. The next day would go to my cousins house for lunch and dinner. I got a lot of things for Christmas. I got money and everything on my list. I love Christmas. I also love my family.
