Essay on Christmas: The significance and joy of holidays

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way.

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

Dashing through the snow,

In a one-horse open sleigh.

O’er the fields we go,

Laughing all the way.

Imagine, you are sitting near your decorated Christmas tree in your cosy house, laughing, giggling, capturing memorable memories with loved ones, hearing the Christmas carol and gobbling yummy Christmas cake.
