User blog:Icydice/Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve everybody. If you live in America of course. It's a wondeful day to spend with friends and family and celebrate life. Ya know, a second thanksgiving but colder. Anyway, I hope it's gone well for those who celebrate the holidays. For those who don't I wish you a great day and a happy life as well. My dad and I went outside and decorated our street with luminarias. For those unaware, my family lived in New Mexico for quite some time. There, it was a religious tradition to create luminarias and line them across the roads. These were paper bags with sand inside. You then lit a candle and placed it inside the bag on the sand and it would light up the sky. According to my dad, the reasoning is that you would do this tradiition on Christmas Eve. Then, on Christmas Day, the light from the candle would light the way for Jesus Christ. Not only is it a very religious decoration, but a very pretty one as well.

My family is also reconsidering what to do on Christmas. We would always do it traditionally, presents under the tree and all. However, starting this Christmas, we are doing things with family rather than giving gifts. An xbox will last a few years, but an experience with friends and family over the holidays will last a lifetime. Also, I got my creepypsta out today, which is good because I was trying to get it out by this time and I made it happen. I am very proud of it as well. Here it is:

That's all from me right now. Again, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
