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.

Christmas present: I love spending Christmas with my family and friends, but my favorite way to spend Christmas is with my animals.

Christmas past: Every year my family would all get together at the lake house. It was a huge Christmas party. My cousin and I would dance around the tree, eat Christmas cookies, and laugh like little kids do.
