Dec 15 Prompt: How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning.

 Prompt Response: Throughout my childhood Christmas had always been about the presents to me. All I was worried about and looking forward to were the material presents I would get. However as I grew older I started appreciating the other aspects of Christmas. I started to appreciate the effort my family and friends put in to get the gifts and to come up with them. I started appreciating giving gifts and being around family in general.
