=My Favorite Holiday Memory=

====My favorite holiday memory is of my 6th Christmas. This was the Christmas that I got my B.B. gun. I was so happy when I unwrapped it that I almost dropped and broke it. A few hours later my dad set up some bottles to shoot and so we went outside and shot. I was good at shooting and when I shot the third bottle it bounced off and almost hit me so that was the last one I shot. Afterwards, we went inside and had a great Christmas Day. This is my favorite holiday memory.====
