One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in nature was a sunset in Cancun. Beaches and tropical places are some of my favorite things so before even going on this vacation I knew I would see some very pretty things. One night when me and my two friends returned back to the hotel after dinner, we walked out onto the balcony and saw the sun right above the clear water. It was a deep orange and red color and we could feel its heat. The sky was an array of colors like pinks, purples, and some yellow. The sunset I saw in Cancun that night was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

Every year on Christmas Eve, my whole first family and I go to my grandma and grandpa's house in Staten Island. They are my mothers parents and my mother also has two sisters. All together there are eight adults and seven grandchildren. For as long as I could remember, my grandparents have hired a "Santa's Helper" who looks just like the "real" Santa every year to come to the house and see what we want for Christmas and give us little presents (which are really from grandma and grandpa). About three years ago, Santa was running a little late. When he finally arrived we heard a huge thump on the porch which was unusual because usually he just rings the door and comes in. When he entered the house, each grandchild got our turns to sit on his lap and go through the usual routine. When it was my turn, i noticed he smelled like alcohol and thats why his beard was crooked. Santa was drunk and ended up tripping on the porch before he came in. One of my uncles is very humerous so he made fun of him and was cracking jokes and Santa thought it was so funny he almost passed out and fell into the large decorated christmas tree behind him. It was definetly a Christmas my family and I will never forget.
