Xmas has good & bad qualities

Christmas is both a good and a bad holiday.

It is good because you get Christmas break. You get to see family members from far away places and get gifts from friends and family members.

The major reason that Christmas is a bad holiday is because it takes a lot of money to buy gifts and for traveling expenses.

I really enjoy the Christmas break that the school has. I look forward to the holiday and the coming of a new year. The break is good because you get to stay home and enjoy the weather if it snows.

Christmas is a holiday when the whole family gets together to celebrate. Some family members that live far away get to come for the holiday. Christmas is a good time to visit with them and share stories.

It makes people feel good to get gifts from the people you care about. It lets them know that they are thinking and care about you. It is also good to give gifts away because it gives you a feeling that you care and it makes you feel jolly.

It takes a lot of money to buy gifts and to travel. A lot of stores are hard to buy things because the prices go up and you have to buy food to have a traditional feast.

That's why I think Christmas is good and yet a bad holiday.
