My holiday

Christmas in Vietnam doesn't like any other Christmas. In America, this is the perfect time for family members to gather around and have a one day fun together. In Vietnam. we still decorate for Christmas because it's the day Jesus Christ was born. My family doesn't celebrate this day. We are not Christians either. But this year holiday was amazing. On Christmas Eve, we went to eat breakfast outside and all went to shopping and visited famous places in Ho Chi Minh. This was probably the most surprise thing ever that happen to me in this holiday. My parents usually busy and we hardly go out. Individuals do their own work and we don't go out together. On Christmas, 25/12, we went to movies and at night, my mother cooked the most delicious meal I have ever eat and then we went out for Karaoke. After we got back home, everyone was too tired to do anything else so we decided to head off to bed. On 26/12 morning, I waked up and see presents right next to me and the next second, my mother came by and started to say: "Merry Christmas, dear". At that moment, I didn't know what to say and froze for a while. At last, I was just keep saying wow and wow because there was no word that can describe my feeling perfectly. And then, my tears came out because I was finally realize how much hard works did my parents put on to have enough money that can afford my school fees and everything else. It was making a big heart tender in me.
