The anticipation was killing me. Arriving at grandmas, I opened the big red door and the smells of freshly baked cookies and hot chocolate rushed up to greet me. Walking around the house, I recognized the Christmas decorations that were in the traditional places. Everyone had arrived, my cousins- Timmy,…

During research I learned that a reindeer walks heavily but also spry. I properly conveyed this concept in my scene by leaping from leg to leg, making sure to lead with my knees when I was in the air and to place my weight on my leading foot when I landed.

pictures. As a young girl, I assisted my parents and reframed the pictures. While scrolling through the pictures, I recognized one peculiar picture that embodied two stories I would never forget in years to come. This idyllic picture was taken one Christmas holiday where our entire family members and friends celebrated the season in our hometown in Enugu, Nigeria. The celebration took place at my grandfather’s house with lots of food, drinking, and dancing. Before everyone departed back home, my…

There are those who may even say that we should abolish Christmas. But here lies the danger of losing sight of the source of our faith and hope; the Word made Flesh. Therefore, we must always remember that Christmas is…
