Christmas Past: Christmas Eves have always been spent at my grandparents home. My cousins and I have always been close and our love and bond is more like brothers and sisters. For years we have been told to stand nice and straight for a photo by the tree, instead this happened and it is the most cherished photo by our grandparents.

Christmas future: I am building traditions with my boyfriend and I hope to keep doing so. With every year that goes by the holidays get bigger and brighter. I hope to grow and learn with him.

Christmas Present: I have spent the past 4 Christmases as a student at Letcher County Central High School. The school has brought me much stress, but also an opportunity to achieve and become a better educated citizen of the United States of America. I will forever hold these memories as some of the closest that I have ever had.
