What I like most about Christmas is when my family goes to church and comes home with a beautiful lesson about God and Jesus. After that, my family eats and of course, prays together for our blessings in our daily needs. Afterwards, we receive beautiful gifts from our neighbors and open them at the same time. And after we do these things, we finally sleep and again we pray for the wonderful time that happened in our lives. And these are the things I like most about Christmas. – Kamille Beatrice O.
