A Descriptive Christmas

A Descriptive Christmas is the topic of this assignment. Use words and language that will paint a detailed and complete picture of your holiday experience. 

Describe a gift received, or tell of a related christmas activity that will be long remembered. The purpose of this exercise is to have those who read your response be able to visualize what you are describing so well that the reader will be able to visualize it perfectly in their mind's eye.

Don't take anything for granted in this assignment by assuming that your reader has already seen or experienced the same thing you have. Imagine that you are writing a description that will be read to someone who is blind. Your words will form the only image they have of whatever you are attempting to describe.
