Merry Christmas!

Photo: Family Christmas treeMerry Christmas to all! I hope you had a lovely Christmas! I know that Christians mainly celebrate Christmas but some Muslims do too. I am a Muslim and I celebrate Christmas just like you. Let me share my 2008 Christmas with you!

There were many goodies and presents and singing. Christmas carolers came and sang lovely Christmas songs. It was tons of  fun and entertaining, and after that amazing party I went home to bed and woke up and it was Christmas!
My brothers and I woke up in the morning and looked at the Christmas tree. Under it were plenty of presents, which we began to open. My favorite present was a PSP! I was extremely surprised and excited.

Usually every Christmas we have a Christmas lunch with my family and cousins at our grandfather's country house. It is always a blast! We have many different things to eat like potatoes, a huge turkey, and salad. After lunch we have dessert and that's the best part--Christmas pudding with custard! We get to eat yummy foods and goodies!!

After eating, we opened Christmas crackers that have surprises in them. We also shared our Christmas presents with each other and played games. It was great!

Merry Christmas!
