Christmas reminds

me of family, the

laughter and love

we shared, and the

gifts we gave to

each other. Last

year, I celebrated

Christmas in India,

with my grandparents. On Christmas Eve, at around 8

pm, my family and I went to the church to attend the

Christmas Carol. By the time, the Carol was over, it

was 10 pm. We returned home and went to sleep. The

next morning, we got up and got ready to go to the

church for the Christmas Service. After the service, we

got a slice of plum cake and went back home. (and we

took a photo, in our bright, white clothes..)

The next thing on the list was breakfast. My mom and

grandmother started working in the kitchen. Me and

my sisters gave a long menu (Appam and egg curry,

Grandma’s special fried rice and duck roast with

chicken fry, tapioca and fish curry, and more), which

my mom and grandma had to cook. After breakfast, we

exchanged gifts. We visited our family and relatives,

and wished them a very, happy, Merry Christmas.
