Christmas

My favorite holiday is Christmas. Growing up I use to love seeing Christmas lights,trees, Santa, anything that came with Christmas. When we would go to my aunt's house I would sneak over to her tree to look at the names on the presents just in case my name was on one. Of course it wasn't, but I always hoped. I was never allowed to watch X-mas cartoons or programs, because it was against the J.W. religion. Oh how I begged to watch them knowing my answer would be the same,NO, but I didn't care I had to ask. I can remember asking my mom why we didn't celebrate Christmas, and she would tell me Jesus wasn't born on that day. She would also tell me that J.W's don't see him as a baby, but as a king. Then she would say that we don't have to wait for Christmas to give presents, we can give presents anytime. Those times never came, I cant remember not even one gift coming my way for any occasion. The only thing I hated about X-mas was seeing my class mates come to school with their new everything coat, clothes, shoes, and here I was jealous of them because all I had were my second hand or hand me down coat, clothes, and shoes. I didn't even have a friend that would share her toys with me like all the other girls in my class. I felt alone, I was alone.
