We had a loi ol s tu ff under our Christinas tree. We eouldn t wait an> longer so we got to open one o f our presents. It was a nightgown, but it was too big for me, so I eouldn l wear it. On t hristinas, it was snowing. I got out ins 'led and I went outside and slide down a steep hill. I he Christinas tree stand all pretty and bright. With a bright star on top. A ll different kinds o f decorations all over the Christinas tree. Everyone goes to sleep at night waiting for Santa Claus to come.

Kwanza is when children do plays, dance and sing. If you celebrate Kwanza, you’ ll see a lot o f people talking about Kwanza. Kwanza was started in A frika. It started before the europeans came.
