CHRISTMAS MEMORY
By Eliza H. in a Lessons Worth Learning Class
Last Christmas, my family bought a real ever-green tree for our Christmas tree. It was really big and it almost touched our high ceiling! We decorated it with boxes and boxes of big Christmas ornaments. We also put strands of multi-colored Christmas-carol singing lights all around the huge tree! I remember pouring cups and cups of water in the little black pot the tree was planted in. It needed water almost every day until Christmas so it would keep richly-green and pine-smelling. We had a bunch of presents under our tree. They were all wrapped in lively colored wrapping paper. I saw the sparkling ornaments and singing lights all around the tree. I even memorized some Christmas carols for listening to the lights so long. The presents were piling up higher and higher all around the Christmas tree every day. It was a brilliant week before Christmas. Now Christmas was here. It was the final day we’ve all been waiting for. We’ll be ready to open presents, all getting together to see the surprising stuff waiting for us inside the wrapping paper and ribbons. Exited to see the expressions of the receivers of our gift. One by one, the presents get unwrapped and reveal the beautiful gift. We laugh and guess who the giver is. The presents disappear and we have to take down the Christmas tree. After we take down all the ornaments and light strands, we drag the puffy tree down to the side of the road. That one Christmas is over, but I will have the memory forever. And I will have better Christmas’ in the upcoming.
