Hi, this is Jon

I’m here to talk to you about Christmas.  What is Christmas?  Christmas to me is to be with your family and friends.   I also watch Christmas Movies like The Bishops Wife or White Christmas.  We talk about the Memories of Christmases past and the joy from all those Christmas Memories. Then having some Christmas Eggnog and playing games.  Getting time of from work or school. Being able to see somebody from your family that is in the Military, that has left home and it’s their first time home for Christmas with the family.

 Seeing all that white fluffy snow on the ground and others having snowball fights, sledding down the hill, and making snow angels.

For me, Christmas is the best time of year. Christmas can make you happy but sometimes sad.  Maybee somebody in your past might not be here anymore. Remember those Memories that you had with them, that’s what counts.  I enjoy a big Christmas Dinner with family and friends. Having Christmas Dinner with the Military Veterans that don’t have families and maybe you could see them the rest of the year. For Christmas it warms their hearts up.

Christmas is a magical time of year.

What does Christmas mean to you?  Does it warm your heart up?
