Once upon a cheerful Christmas

There is something special about Christmas when everyone would lend a cheer, this would occur all over the world, even in the land of fairy tale. If you would please listen I would welcome all who dare, into the land of mystery, the land of fairy tale.
We lived in a small village in a house made of five: So there was Baby Amanda, Grandma Philly, Mom and Dad and let’s not forget me. If you are wondering who I am, I will surely introduce myself and tell you all about my family on Christmas in a land few dare to dwell.

Hi, my name is Emma, also known as Amanda’s big sister. I am eleven years old and I believe there is something absolutely amazing about Christmas.
In Never Ever Land Christmas is celebrated for twelve days, for each day of Christmas, all the members of each family would have specific chores to do.

Let’s start with Dear old Grandma,
Grandma Philly would do the baking. Her cakes are popular in demand. She would start on Christmas Eve and end whenever she can. She would whip out her big white mixing bowl and bake some of the finest cakes, various flavors and sizes, various colours and shapes. There would be chocolate, vanilla and rainbow to name a few, my favorite was definitely the chocolate. It was the tastiest of all too;

Then there is mum and dad- the caretakers of the family
Mum would do most of the cooking; dad would do most of the watching. While mum is preparing the main dishes such as the macaroni pie, the rice and the ham, Dad would work on the salads to please our cousin Sam. No one really cared too much for anything but the ham. There was something very enchanting about it, something that caused a high demand. Like the chocolate cake, the ham was also very popular. A slice would be prepared for everyone, the neighbors, the pastor, even the uninvited visitors.

I bet you are wondering what I do for Christmas, well I am most definitely the cheer. On Christmas Eve I would offer my love to those who only dared, I would walk, I would skip, I would prance. All around the house I would perform a merry dance. My job was to make sure everyone was in their best mood.  Never losing a smile from their faces, except when gobbling down their food. I would greet aaaaall of our visitors,  I would offer them a plate they would stick around for hours before it is too late.

Now it’s time to come to a close, I think we are forgetting someone though... It’s baby Amanda! But I think we all know what she does for Christmas, but just in case you don’t, let me tell you. Baby Amanda would wake giggling, gurgling and laughing she was among the happiest of all. She was the most helpful baby even though she was so small. She would bring cheer and joy day by day to all in fairy tale land, until the next year when it comes back around and she could do the best she can.
Now it’s time to close, i had much to say, thanks for lending a listening ear, to learn about my family and friends in the land that is filled with cheer.
