I absolutely love Christmas time! Cuddling on the couch with my family, watching our favorite Christmas movies, and snacking on all kinds of festive treats. I love sipping on hot cocoa, piling into the car, and driving through the neighborhoods to see all the beautiful houses glowing with twinkling lights. It's the most heartwarming time of the year.

My favorite Christmas memories are made spending time with family. My mom serves up a delicious holiday ham, and my sister and I help with all the fixings, especially our family favorite, sweet rice. We enjoy playing games together like the Christmas pickle, bunko, and our go-to card game, Hand and Foot. The moments of laughter, competition, and togetherness make the season special.

Our family loves to travel during Christmas break. It's also a beautiful time to serve. We enjoy caroling at the nursing home, and I play the harp for church and local events.

Every Christmas for the past 12 years, my family and I would sit by the fireplace with our cat, Milo, and turn Yule Log on the TV. After opening presents, we’d toss all the wrapping paper into a pile, and Milo would leap right in to play. Those moments of laughter and warmth always made Christmas morning feel complete.
