Christmas Traditions

My family has the best  Christmas traditions. One is hiding tiny, plastic baby Jesus. We also go to my kind Grandparents' house.  One other awesome tradition is giving to others.
     My family has an exiting nativity scene.  The nativity scene comes with pocket sized baby Jesus.  My mom likes to hide Him all over the mysterious living room, and the first person to find Him gets a delightful prize, but that's not all we do.
     Every year we look forward to going to our grandparents' house to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.  We also get to see our CRAZY cousin and aunt! We party and fill up on snacks till midnight.  We all give enjoyable gifts to each other. All of us have a merry Christmas and happy New Year.
     Giving gifts to others is awesome. It is wonderful to receive gifts, but it is better to give than receive.  Last year my friendly family bought chickens and sent them to Africa to feed starving Africans. This year we gave money to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries.  Nazarene Compassionate Ministries gives money to people in need of a home or food.
     We all have traditions they may be giving away Christmas gifts, devouring roast beef, or playing fun games.  Christmas traditions only make Christmas more fun.

    I think your family's gift of chickens was very generous not funny.
    I don't understand your last sentence.

    You have made several improvements in your set up of this essay. Read things aloud with your fingers in your ears - slowly. I think that will help you with most corrections. Almost there!!
