I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!

Why is Christmas my all-time favorite holiday of the year? I'll tell you why! First and foremost it is the birth of Jesus Christ,our Lord and Savior! But I also love Christmas for many other reasons as well! First,it is the decorations!! Every year sometimes I ride with my family to go to a get-together or party,we usually check out which houses are decorated for Christmas and we get amazed every year! It really rocks! Then we got the music...man,I gather up all my favorite Christmas songs together in a cassette tape(yeah,I'm old-school!) and put them in it and call it a Christmas Supermix! I recently got Mariah Carey's new Christmas CD called Merry Christmas II YOU. Haven't listened to it yet,but I'll get around to that! Then,there are the movies! Hey,Home Alone and Home Alone 2:Lost In New York are my Christmas favorites but the cartoon Christmas specials that I watched back in the day--too radical!!! I liked Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales,Fat Albert Christmas Special, and the DVD I just bought fron Best Buy a few years back and it was one of the coolest Christmas Specials I have ever watched in my life:He-Man & She-Ra:A Christmas Special. Now we move on to the parties. When I was young parties were okay I mean getting together with family & church friends is pretty cool! But when I started working for Ruby Tuesday in North Dartmouth,we had Christmas parties that were pretty awesome! I was one of the few sober people there but I tend to liven things up with my dance skills! I had some crazy times with my Ruby Tuesday peeps. Plus,I also look forward to getting together with my relatives on my father's side of the family-they always have this big buffet full of food and that's rad in my book. Alas,however,since I now no longer work at Ruby Tuesday,those parties I once enjoyed will no longer be there. Okay,enough of being bummed for 3 seconds,the final thing I wanna touch base on why I love Christmas is the gifts! Giving gifts are important but it's tough on what to get your loved ones sometimes and you want to get a very nice gift for them and with the economy the way it has been,you couldn't. It's rough. But the gifts I got were cool as well from cassette's to CD's and one time I got 3 games from the Nintendo Entertainment System : Tetris,Tetris 2, and my all-favorite games for the NES : Super Mario Brothers 3! That game I just mentioned was the highlight of my Christmases! I was really excited about playing it and that reinforced my love for Christmas! Well,this holiday season will be a special one this year,I am about to become an uncle for the 1st time in my life and I am honored by that distinction! So,I wish everyone who reads this a Happy Thanksgiving,Happy Holidays, and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
