Assignment 14- Emma Tucker

The holiday season is a time full of family and fun. My family typically has a low-key Thanksgiving. My aunt, uncle, cousin and grandparents come over, and my mom and aunt cook. But Christmas is when my family goes all out. We go to western Kentucky, where my family is from and stay at my grandparents. On Christmas morning, my whole family, all fifteen of us, wear matching pajamas. And  before we start opening any presents, we have to get the perfect picture of all of us. It has become a huge ordeal, and our friends all tell us they anxiously await our pajama picture every year.  After we get the picture, my grandfather, who we call Golfcart, gives a speech where he talks about the year and how glad he is that our whole family is together. Then we all exchange gifts. Once we open all our presents we just enjoy each others company. Christmas is normally one of the only times we are all under one roof, so we spend the time together playing card games and watching movies. My aunt and uncle that live in western Kentucky have a farm, so we typically drive out there and spend sometime outside. Christmas is a special time in my family, and some of my favorite family memories come from the few days we spend together celebrating.
