The holidays are times when things are supposed to be perfect, and nothing should be disappointing. Unfortunately I had two disappointments during my holidays which were not having enough money to buy everyone presents and not having all the family together on Christmas. I was upset because family and presents are two important factors around the holidays.
When Christmas comes around I always reflect back to when I was little and always received a lot of presents. As I grew older I came to realize that I was not getting everything I wanted, instead my nieces and nephews got more things. Then I eventually realized that the joy from Christmas comes from the kids and they are the ones who deserve to get presents. Sadly this year I did not have enough money to buy them presents. This year I had to worry about having enough book money for next semester and having enough money to fly back to college.
When I went back home to Denver for the holidays I was anxious to see my family. Family is what makes the holidays so great because you are around people you love. However this Christmas I was not with my large family which included my three aunts’ seven cousins and my grandpa. Early Christmas morning it started to snow, which made the rodes icy and very hard to drive in. Some of my family lives an hour or two hours away from my house, so for them to get to my house was impossible. This crushed me; this was the time I was going to catch up with everyone and just have fun. Although not all my family could make it to my house on Christmas I know that they were there in sprit and that’s all that mattered.
My holidays weren’t perfect because I did not have enough money to buy Christmas present s for everyone, and because not all of my family were together on Christmas. This made me upset because the two important factors of Christmas were gone. I cannot change this past holiday, but only hope for the best next holidays.
