Christmas Story
by Irene-Ann Hinde
This year I am going to buy my mother a Christmas tree. I would like to surprise her on the holiday. I’m hoping to have the Christmas tree up before Christmas Eve, so we don’t have to rush.
I will be in charge of the cooking and baking. I will be cooking a turkey, homemade stuffing, cranberry sauce and turnip. And for dessert we are having plum pudding with homemade sauce.
We hope to sing Christmas carols and have eggnog with rum in it. And later on we will watch a "Scrooge" movie and have popcorn.
Christmas Eve we will go to church and I will be serving Holy Communion. After church we will come home and relax. I hope to have some snow for Christmas.
