My favorite Christmas gift is my family. And my air hockey table.
My family because they love me and I love them. They always give me cool gifts and love and hot cocoa.
I was the best at my air hockey table. Then after I won, I celebrated by jumping on the couch. And then no one wanted to play me because they knew I was the best. And Santa made it for me. I might have spilled juice on it and broke it.
I don’t really want another one because they always fight over it. My family members are my mom, my stepdad, brother, my other brother, my other other brother, my sister, my sister, my fish, my dogs, and my cats.
Then I make them presents.

On December 23, our grandma told my family and I to go to her house because she had a surprise for us. So I got ready and we all went there thinking, “What does she have for us?”
When we arrived, she told us that our Auntie and our Uncle were coming to visit from Washington. They’re coming to spend Christmas with us.
When they arrived, they put some presents under the tree. Then we visited for a while and we went home. They stayed at our grandma’s house.
The next day, we all up we went to Grandma’s house to open our presents. We opened our presents and we loved the gifts we were given.
After we did that, our Auntie and our Uncle said that we were going to go sledding the next day on Christmas. We all said, “Yay!” because we had never gone sledding with our Auntie and Uncle.
Next, we went home and organized the stuff that we got.
Then our mom and dad started cooking. When they were done, we ate and then we watched TV for a while. Then we went to sleep.
When it was morning, we got up and got ready and after that we went to Grandma’s house to get ready to go sledding. It took forever to get ready. We went to sled in the Mission Canyon. We were there for what felt like forever. It was FUN because we don’t get to see them a lot because they travel around.
This was my best Christmas memory, spending the holidays with my family.

My name is Kai and my best Christmas present was a Playstation 4.
I played it so much, my mom said to get off it and play outside. I still have the PS4, I spent around $300 in gift cards.
The second best Christmas present was a phone. When I got the phone, I started playing it and getting games and watching Youtube.

My best Christmas was when I got a new phone that my dad gave me.
Then I got a phone card and I was happy that I received a phone and a phone card.
At first, I saw my big sister get a phone and I got upset because I didn’t get one. Then I opened my other present and it was a phone! When I opened my last gift, it was a phone card.
Then a few months later, my phone got stolen. Finally, my dad got me another phone and a phone case. It was a Samsung and the phone case is pink, white, and a little bit of gray and it is marble. And the phone case has a screen protector.
I like my phone because I won’t have to play with my mom’s phone.
