Christmas at Home

When I was a child growing up in a small East Texas town called Tenaha, it was the custom to have a blissful celebration during Christmas. The community would gather to sing carols and welcome jolly old Santa into town. Children would queue up in lengthy lines waiting to sit on the plump, rosy-checked man’s lap. The streets of the town were full of loving families lingering, waiting for the traditional parade to begin. The smell of hot chocolate and cinnamon filled the cool, crisp air. The taste of candy cane settled in our mouths, making every breath we took in refreshing and sweet.

The family gathered around the spectacular table setting, and my grandfather said grace. When the feasting began, the room turned silent, as everyone savored every breath-taking bite. Christmas dinner is the best meal of the year, because so much time and effort is put into making everything perfect.

Every year after Christmas, I think about how the holiday means so much more than Santa, parades, and singing. It truly is about celebrating Jesus Christ, having family unity and eating Christmas dinner as a family. I will never forget the years as a child
