I'm so excited to have another holiday season ! I can't wait for the food, to see all of my family and friends, and cant wait for all the family games that we will play as big groups. Every year during the holidays, is a time to bond with your family. Time to laugh a lot more, time to eat a whole bunch of food, and time to see family that you haven't spent time with.
I love the holidays because I get two times the presents, since my birthday is also in December. Also because of all the food I get to make and time I get to spend with my cousins. The holidays are a fun time of year because it brings out the happiness out of people and everyone is a lot more generous, even people you don't even know. Although, for my family, it brings out the competitive side of everyone. Have you ever had three turkeys on thanksgiving, or game competitions between immediate families.
Every thanksgiving and Christmas, each family all color coordinate their outfits and we always try to win every game, have the best tasting turkey, or get the best gifts for the little kids. My favorite part is actually the cooking. I love trying to cook new things, learning new recipes and being praised for having the best dish at thanksgiving and Christmas. I think this is my favorite part because my family loves to eat and are big foodies. Whenever we go on vacation, we just look for new places and new things to eat. So of course it means a lot to me if my family enjoys what I cooked.
Another fun thing that we do as a family, is play white elephant or secret Santa. Its so fun because it keeps you guessing even more on the gift that you will receive or end up with. All family members can play and its very competitive and fun and maybe you can play with your own families. I hope you guys get what you wanted.

You made me so much more excited for the holidays! This seriously is the best time of the year with all the pretty lights out and such. And how funny, my family does the exact same thing of coordinating colors and playing white elephant!
