It´s
Christmas time! I really love this time. There is always something I can´t even
explain but it warms my soul. There is something in the air, something magic… the
warmth of Christmas. Don´t you think? ;) Maybe the excitement in the eyes of
many people, watching it snow or listening to Christmas songs all month makes
it kind of a special time of the year. People even seem to be nicer and
friendlier…
Now, I am going to write about how I celebrate Christmas. Since I can remember I celebrate this day with my family – including my parents and my two sisters. There are only just us 5. It´s always kind of a homelike and special atmosphere. I love sitting around the tree and talking with them. In this moments everything is right with the world.
Before doing so,
we prepare Christmas dinner. When we cook the whole family plays a part. My younger
sister and I help to grate cheese or to cut vegetables. My older sister
lays the table and my father mixes the dressing for the salad. Mum gets up early to prepare part of the main course so that we
don´t need so much time afterwards – we are all hungry then! And want
to eat as soon as possible! :D Even
for the things I didn´t mention, we work as a team. It´s always so much fun!
I´m smiling right now just remembering the laughter…
When I was younger, all the kids in my age were
sure that the "Christkind" is the one that decorates the tree and brings presents. On
Christmas Eve it comes and leaves them under the tree. How hilarious… :D I never believed in the "Christkind". My
parents never told me that and I think I will do the same with my children. Why telling a "lie"?! Getting presents is always exciting, no matter
if a golden-haired baby with wings or parents bring them ;)
I really
love Christmas! This is such a great time of the year when we come together as
a family and celebrate the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
