Holiday essay contest winners: ‘What are you most thankful for during the holiday season and why?’

By Jru Drummond

I’m most thankful for love during the holiday season, because if there was no love, I wouldn’t have anyone to support me.

I’m thankful for my mommy also, because if I didn’t have her no one would tell me to brush my teeth every day, clean my room and always be kind to others.

Another thing that I’m thankful for are my sisters. I’m thankful for them because they are nice to me and they make me laugh.
