Christmas present: This is my family decorating our tree. This is something we do every year, it is our family tradition. I cherish every moment I get with my family.

Christmas past: This was my mom and I at my grandparents’ house on Christmas Day. We used to have Christmas dinner with them every year.

Christmas future: Next year things are going to be a little different. As of next Christmas I’ll have started a new chapter of my life. I know I’m the only child, and I know that things will be hard for my parents, but I know they will be proud.
