3. My Family Traditions ! Table of Contents Back Forward
Every year my family traditions is a week before Christmas we would buy our
Christmas tree and then when it’s Christmas Eve we would decorate it. Every year we would stay at our house for Christmas then after that Christmas we would visit our family and spend our Christmas in Kamloops. Sometimes every few years I would go to my dad’s house and spend my Christmas there in Calgary. On Christmas Eve for dinner we would usually eat at my uncle’s house. After we have dinner at my uncles we would drive another house and go to another Christmas dinner on my mom’s side of the family. After we are done eating our two dinners! We would go to Dairyqeen and buy ice cream. When we were done eating our ice cream we would drive home and watch one Christmas movie and then when that movie was over all of us would go to bed. When it’s Christmas day we usually wake up really early because my brothers wake up early! So we would open our presents, have a great yummy breakfast then when were done eating our breakfast we would get rid of our tree and go to my Nanas house for the day! Those are my family traditions.

When I was younger Santa Clause was a BIG deal for me. Every year we went to the mall to take a picture with him, we still do. I was always shy to see him when we went to go take a picture with him! When I found out Santa Clause wasn’t real, well nobody told me he wasn’t but I started to figure it out every year!
