Essence of Christmas

                 As people say, Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year.  Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer.  It’s the time for peace, sharing, forgiveness and love.  We are celebrating Christmas because it’s the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

                Each of us has our own essence of Christmas.  Some is being with their family and loved ones.  While for me, it’s being with my mom.  She’s not living with us.  Me and my brother is with our stepmother and that’s the worst thing ever.  I don’t like her that much.  When I’m home, I feel like I’m in hell.  Like, that bad! So, during holidays especially Christmas and New Year, we’re with our mom.  That really makes me feel happy even just for a while.  I love being with her ‘cause I have someone to talk to and to share my problems with.  I really miss her when she’s not with me.  I love her so much and being with her is the happiest thing ever.  I feel loved,  cared, and everything!  That’s my true essence of Christmas, being with the person I love most.  J
