THUS THE SEASON TO START BLENDING

My favorite holidays are Chinese New Year and Christmas.  Chinese New Year because there is the lion and dragon dances.  People are always laughing.  And there are pops and fireworks and much more.  Christmas because I sleep over at my uncle's HUGE house.  When I wake up the next morning, I open my gift at the foot of the Christmas tree.

I celebrate Chinese New Year with my parents and family members.  I celebrate Christmas with family members and friends.

For Chinese New Year, my family and I go to a restaurant and eat.  We also go to Chinatown to see the parade and pop firecrackers.  For Christmas I sleep over at my Uncle's family.  Every year I go there with my Aunt's family.  The next day, its Christmas.  Relatives and friends all go there, including my grandma and grandpa.

To make Chinese New Year better, I would combine all the holidays to make Chinese New Year.  For example, to add some Christmas spirit,  I can give presents instead of red envelopes.  That would be cool.  To make Christmas special, I can spin it with Thanksgiving, being thankful.  I call this method, the holiday blend.
