Hey guys! Today I want to talk a little bit about what my family does for Christmas. Every year we go to my grandmas for the holidays. Usually we do it a few weeks before Christmas because they go to Florida for the winter. My uncles, dad, and I usually go fishing a lot during break and then we take a big trip right after Christmas up to Lake of the Woods for a week. Its a blast! Another Christmas tradition we do is get together on Christmas day and go to church with my dads side of the family. Its fun to see all the cousins and spend time with family! Now people ask em all the time which is better, real trees? Or fake trees? I like fake trees as they are convenient, easy to set up and store, and you don't get a bunch of loose needles on the ground. That's just my opinion! A few good holiday memories I remember all come from my time after Christmas when i'm up fishing. I make so many memories with my friends and family. Everything from fishing with no hooks on, giant walleyes, and football on the ice. Its a blast!
Christmas Without My Grandma
Now I want to talk a little about the not so fun part of Christmas. About 3 years ago now my Great Grandma passed away. She lived in Arizona up until she had a stroke and moved to Minnesota to live with my grandparents. Me and her were really close. She would always give me life advice and tell me how special I was as I was the first Great grandchild. She loved Christmas and she loved the snow. I remember one day we sat and watched the snowfall and she had the biggest smile on her face. It was so fun when I got to be with her and Christmas time is the hardest time to be without her. I miss her a lot and she had a huge influence on my life. I will always remember her!
This was a really touching post, I'm glad that you have those memories of your great grandma to hold close to you forever.
