Holiday Traditions

Ever since I arrived back from winter break I have been constantly asking my friends what they are doing for the holidays. We interviewed two students and asked them what their holiday traditions are.





Family 1:


1. A few weeks before Christmas my family strings popcorn that is then hung up on the Christmas tree.
2. We put up swag all around our giant wrap-around porch.

3. One of my parents always hangs a pickle ornament on the tree and the first person to find it gets a treat which varies from year to year.

4. We always have sparkling apple cider at Christmas dinner.



Family 2:



1. I always eat Christmas eve dinner at the Carolina Inn with my family and I eat a grilled cheese sandwich.

2. When I come back from the Carolina Inn I leave a note for Santa and give him glow sticks so it is easier for him to see.

3. In the morning every year for the past 5 years I have gotten a hand painted ornement from my parents.

4. Then at Christmas dinner I help make and eat homemade lasagna.



Family 1 and 2 are two families from the 5th grade who wish to remain unamed.
