I don’t really have a favorite gift, but if I had to choose it would be from my grandparents.
They’re up all night and day, figuring out what to get my siblings and I.
They gave me my very own tablet. I couldn’t thank them enough.
They even gave me an electric scooter and my very own phone that I would call them with every night asking them, “How has your day been?” or telling them, “I love you, have a good day.”
I was the happiest human being. I love my grandparents, and I could never ask for better grandparents. They spend their nights on the computer searching for hours and hours for the perfect gift for my whole family.

My favorite gifts for Christmas were a BB gun, a Playstation 4, and an iPhone 6.
What I liked about the BB gun was that I went hunting for gophers, rabbits, mice, birds, snakes, and groundhogs.
The reason I liked the Playstation 4 is because I play a lot of games such as these games: Fortnite, Minecraft, Far Cry Primal, GTA 5, and sometimes I watch YouTube on there too.
My iPhone 6 I received early and the things I like most about it is that I get to watch YouTube, get on Snapchat, and text all my friends.
These are three of my favorite gifts I remember I was given for Christmas.

The best thing I ever got for Christmas is a mouse and keyboard for my games from my Grandma. I also got some clothes. That night, the Christmas dinner was great. I also gave a gift to my little cousin.
We went to Billings. I got my brothers one gift each and my sister a phone. Then the next day, we went outside and built a snowman and had a snowball fight with everyone.
Finally, the snow melted and our snowman melted, too. It rained and there was mud and my brothers got all muddy and we got my Grandma’s car muddy.

The best Christmas I ever had was when I was 8 yrs old.
I spent the day with my whole family. When I’m around my family, I feel safe.
Another thing is that I like gifts because you don’t know who it is from and it is a surprise.
It is fun to go play in the snow and make gingerbread houses as a family. It is best to try to stay off of the WiFi for a while. We like to go out and get some fresh air and get out of the house once in a while. We open our presents when my whole family gets to my house. And we end the day by watching a movie.
