Personal Narrative: A Christmas Game

Great Essays
It was a cold evening that Saturday. The chill of the wind stung my face when I walked outside. There was a snowstorm moving in. Since the following day was busy with driving to Kansas City and the going to the NFL Kansas City Chiefs vs. Indianapolis Colts game, my boyfriend, Justin, and I decided to take the evening to relax. We made the decision to eat pizza and binge watch American Horror Story on Netflix. Nevertheless, we had to idle away the time before the pizza arrived and decided to go to Wal-Mart and grab supplies for the game.
We started down the clothing section and gathered items on our list. We needed to have the proper winter gear for our cold day at the game. After the clothing department, we went over to the pharmacy to find

    Essay Christmas is a time where families come together to share in the christmas joy. Richard Rodrigues shows the negative impact of a newly wealthy family, and the change in the dynamic that the material success has brought. The once proud parents who always wanted success for their children have seen less and less of their kids, and the effect of that is conveyed in the detailed interaction between the members of their family. Sibling’s success that allows them to buy such expensive items has taken them away from their family and holidays have become a routine rather than a genuine interaction. Rodriguez himself also notices the emptiness in their relationship both between himself and his parents and everyone as a unit.…

    I miss them already. Despite the freezing cold snow and the nipping air, we had a lovely Christmas break. As I inspect my child, now grown with children of her own, holding tickets back to their home, longing envelopes me. Hoards of people push past, unaware of my pain, on their own schedules and heading toward different trains, talking and texting on their cell phones. My family boards, time as if in slow-motion, and waves goodbye until I see them again.…

    It was the third day of our stay at the condo in Copper Mountain. One of the great things about staying in a condo was you don’t have to wake up at 5:30. So, when I woke up at 8:00, I had time to play my new 3DS game, Mario and Luigi Dream Team. I was just about to face the boss at the bottom of the volcano, but then my dad said we have to go. My whole family started with a warm up going up American Flyer and going down Coppertone.…

    “All I Want for Christmas” plays on the radio while you drive through the neighborhood seeing bright lights outlining the roofs of houses and decorations scattered about the yards. This is a typical scene during the Christmas holiday, which begins the day after Thanksgiving and ends well into the new year. It is considered the most wonderful time of the year – a time filled with decorating houses inside and out, rushing around for the “perfect” gifts, attending parties, spending time with your family, and celebrating the birth of Jesus (at least for those who are religious). The importance of this holiday differs from family to family. For my family, spending time with the family and appreciating what you have is the most important part of…
