Comparing the way my family celebrate christmas with Jess's family

I find that the way my family celebrate Christmas and Jess's family are similar and different in someways. My family always gets into a fix on what should they buy as they want to get something cheap but nice, Jess's family also get into the same situation as my family. My family and relatives gets very excited about Christmas unlike Jess's family who gets so unhappy and even angry during Christmas. My family also never believe in Santa Clause, not even my little sister when she was four years old, guess she is not so gullible after all, but we still sing some Christmas songs for the Christmas spirit. I guess not every family will be alike in the way they celebrate festivals. Done by:Chris Ng(the other Christmas experience (a) is mine :-)

My experiences (a)

I love to celebrate Christmas with my family and relatives as it is my birthday and my name came from Christmas. Every year at Christmas, my family would go to my aunty's house to celebrate Christmas and my birthday as she holds a Christmas party every year and my father thought it would be more convenient to just celebrate my birthday together. We, (all the kids) always arrive one hour earlier to play games while the adults sit around and chat. Then comes the dinner where there will be turkey, kebab, curry chicken, ham, hotdogs, spaghetti, ice-cream, soft drinks and the winner of the game gets to enjoy his/her snacks. Then come the birthday cake where everyone sing happy birthday song for me and pictures were taken.(can't find the photos, hidden somewhere secret.) the after the exchange of presents, most of us went home hapilly. I feel that Christmas is a good time for all of my familly members to get together as we all sit around and chat about what happened to each other (at least the adults do.) Our relationship seems to get better and better after each Christmas, hopefully it will get better still.
