=Christmas Story=

=
Every Christmas, I have three christmases. I have one at my house Christmas morning, and then at like ten am, we head to my Aunt Delia`s house. The past few years we haven`t had all of our family there because my cousin was in the army; but this year we`re going to have everyone there! After we go to my Aunt`s, we go to my other Aunt`s. Which is my Aunt Karen.=====

There we have my dad's family Christmas. After we go home, and we enjoy the rest of our day. Usually Christmas Eve we open one present each. It's usually a smaller gift, and then we wait for the morning to open the rest of them. At my Aunt Delia's house we usually have breakfast and then open presents. Usually we bring up a chocolate pie and we eat it before we open our presents. My aunt keeps her christmas tree in a side room so we can't see the presents. Every year someone will get an abnormally large present, so it's hidden some place in her house. After we're done receiving our presents, we stay for about another half hour and then we head to my Aunt Karen's house which is 3 minutes down the road. :] That is where my dad's family gets together. We watch the=====

parade on the tv together, while my mom and aunt make lunch. Usually for lunch we have the same meal that we have on thanksgiving. That’s usually turkey, mashed potatoes, peas, stuffing, and biscuits. After we're finished lunch we exchange presents. It's usually not organized, and we just give out presents as we go. (: By the time we’re done at my Aunt Karen’s house we go back up to my Aunt Delia’s to get my grandmother so we can bring her back home. Usually we’ll stay for a little bit longer, then we’ll head home. After that the rest of the day is just putting our=====

Anna Zeirere was originally from Zunich, Germany and moved to Rumford, Maine in __1950.__ She was born on August 24, 1931__.__ My grandfather, Glenn Smith was in the service, and serving in Germany. He was the man who was medical and saved peoples lives. Anna met him in Germany in the month of January. When my grandfather’s time in the service was done, he returned with my grandmother, who was pregnant. They got married on __August 2, 1956.__ Anna was a stay at home “mom”. She wasn’t actually a mom, but she stayed home all day and helped her mother do the chores. The first time she stayed home was when she was about 8 years old. She was part of an 8 person family. In her time in Germany, she got cancer. She didn’t know it, but she had it. When she came to Maine, she was in the hospital for a while, and then she was cancer free for 11 years. On that 11th year, she was diagnosed with stomach cancer, again. She died on May 4, 2006. To this day, there’s still many things that we don’t know about her, or our family. She was a very private person, and we found out everything after she died. My family misses her very much, and knows how much she’s done for our family. I chose her because I miss her, a lot and her story and life is amazing to find out about.  - Jenn S. (:
