 My family celebrates Christmas  Every year on Christmas Eve we celebrate the birth of the savior.  We do this by having a special dinner of fish sticks, bread, and grape juice  We read the story of Christ that night  It is a very special tradition that I will remember forever

 Many of my friends celebrate Christmas too  Their Christmas Eve dinners are also special  They don’t celebrate the same way though  Many of them have ham that night  It is a tradition for them and their families  This is also special for them.

 Although these traditions are similar they also differ  We are both celebrating Christmas Eve with food.  We both think it is an important holiday  One difference I see is that we read the Christmas story from the bible  The only other difference I see is that we eat different food then they do to celebrate.
