WELCOME BACK! Today, I have an extremely special blog for you-- because it’s CHRISTMAS!

 

I personally think that christmas is the best holiday. It’s fun, and almost feels magical! Today, I’ve asked a few wonderful people a few questions about christmas! Please welcome: JaeHyun Soo, Lila Everfall, Aleksander Eastburn, Garrett Marshall, Skylar Sin, Max Goodmin, Arya Wolf, India Thomson and Aaron Lee!

 

 

First, I asked a few people their favorite part of christmas! Here is what they said:

 

Aaron Lee: Other than the obvious and rather cliche part of getting to be around family, I rather love the food. We don't really eat festive foods any time other than Christmas, and ham is one of my favorite foods, so it's the only time of the year I get to eat it.

 

Arya Wolf: See the kids open they gifts and be with the family.

 

India Thomson: I think that for me, it's all about the gatherings and time spent with family. I'm not too much of a people person, but sometimes seeing family members that I haven't seen for a long time makes me happy, just to be able to talk to them and get up to date on everything that they've done in the past year or so. :D

 

For me, my favorite part of christmas is the magic that comes with it. It’s just such a happy time; spending it with my family, and waking up at 6 AM on Christmas morning.

 

The next question was ‘What is your favorite holiday tradition?’

 

Skylar Sin: My family has a tradition where we gather together on Christmas day - my grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles, etc, everyone - to have hotpot dinner and have fun. We don't really have any specific "activities" except for eating dinner, but it's the sense of family and the bond between everyone that keeps the christmas spirit alive within our house and within our family.

 

JaeHyun Soo: I would say baking with family. Quite boring but during this harsh time of the year, I think I develop my skills and love for baking. I helped my parents to bake something and we did it together - enjoy our work together. During Christmas, my family decided if we could bake instead of buy holiday cakes this year. We all agreed and it was probably the newest tradition we could have during Christmas.

 

Max Goodmin: My favorite holiday tradition is making cookies each year from family recipes!

 

My favorite christmas tradition is when I go and see my grandmother, and on christmas eve, my dad and i go looking at christmas lights! Then, we watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and A Charlie Brown Christmas. 

 

The last question was ‘Could you possibly tell me your favorite thing about the holiday you celebrate?’

 

Lila Everfall: My favorite thing about Christmas is the homey vibe and the time I get to spend with my family- I love just staying home, and eating dinner around the table. It makes me feel all warm inside and I love it so, so much!

 

 Aleksander Eastburn: It could be the food for holidays, since they are homemade and have a lot of things, but also it can be the decorations they portray.

 

Garrett Marshall: For the holidays it’s all about family , so every Christmas Eve we all pile on the couch in our PJs and watch films till midnight xD

 

For me, It’s definitely the night before christmas. You just feel so happy and excited, and my parents and I watch movies. It’s so much fun!

 

Thank you all for joining me today! I hope everyone has the best christmas possible, and a happy new year too!
