A Texas Christmas

Merry Christmas, everyone!

When I was a kid, my family would open presents as soon as we all woke up on Christmas morning. Now, though, we have breakfast before we open presents. On Christmas Day (December 25th) we have two big meals: breakfast and an early dinner. This year my mother made breakfast tacos for breakfast. My brother made two different salsas to put on the tacos: spicy and VERY spicy. It was a delicious breakfast.

After breakfast, I pass everybody's presents out. We take turns opening presents.


When we are finished with presents, we clean up and spend the day enjoying our new presents. We also write thank you notes to the people who gave us presents. We also begin to make dinner. This year we had steak, wilted salad, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and croissants. For dessert we had a cherry dump cake. We eat dinner at about 3:00. That's very early, right? Since my mother cooked dinner, I washed the dishes.

On December 25th I crossed breakfast tacos, steak, and dump cake off of my winter food list!

Christmas is a very important family holiday to many Americans.

What did you get for Christmas this year?

メリクリスマス、みんなさん!

私は子供のとき、クリスマスの朝(12月25日)私の家族はみんなが起きて、すぐプレゼントを開けました。でも、今私たちはプレゼントをあける前に朝ごはんを食べます。クリスマスの日に2回しか食べません:朝ごはんと晩ごはん。今年私の母は朝ごはんのために朝ごはんのタコスを作りました。弟はサルサを2つ種類を作りました:からいとスゴクからい!おいしい朝ごはんでした。

朝ごはんを食べた後、私はみんなのプレゼントを渡して、順番にプレゼントをそれぞれあけます。



プレゼントを全部開けた後、プレゼントをもらった人にお礼の手紙を書きます。それで、夕食を作ります。今年、私たちはステーキとウイルテドサラダとクランベリソースとマシュトポテトとクロワッサンを食べました。デザートのためにダンプケーキを作りました。3:00に夕食を食べました。早いですね?母が夕食を作りましたので、私がお皿を洗いました。

クリスマスはアメリカ人にとって大切な家族の伝統です。

クリスマスに何のプレゼントをもらいましたか?
