Christmas Parties

Christmas Parties

            My favorite part about Christmas is attending all of the Christmas parties! Being on numerous athletic teams and having many groups of friends I get to be at a lot of Christmas parties. Never have I once been to a boring party because they are always filled with joy.

            At the parties we make Christmas cookies together and decorate them and we sometimes have contests to see who made the best looking cookie! While the cookies are baking we start a Christmas movie and sit down and watch it together. After the movie is finished the cookies are too. When then have a huge dinner and eat the cookies for dessert.

            Since it is still light out we go outside and play in the snow or sometimes we will make up a scavenger hunt to go on, because those are always fun! When it becomes dark out we head back inside to do our gift exchange. Before the party my friends and I all got together and picked a name from the hat and we couldn’t tell anyone who we had. That way the day of the party it was a surprise and we had presents for each other to get in the holiday spirit!

            Once we were finished with the exchange we took a boat load of pictures so that night we could make our Christmas scrapbook for that year. After we were finished taking pictures we went to the computer and printed out numerous copies of each picture and everyone brought their own scrapbook to add to from the previous year. This is a great way to hold all of your memories over the years, plus we had a blast doing it.

            To top the night off we all set up our beds in the living room preparing ourselves for an all nighter! While some of us go make all the popcorn and get the left over cookies and other goodies the others go to the garage and get the pop. We celebrate yet another successful Christmas party and end it like we always do, with a Christmas movie marathon! (354)
