The Meaning of Home

What my home means to me is family and friends, a roof over my head, and somewhere to eat with my family and friends. It makes me happy to spend time with my family and holidays with my family. When I heard that tons of people don't have houses made me sad, but at least there is a shelter for them to go to and that makes me happy. I'm glad to have a house and a roof over my head. I wish that everyone could have a house and that would make me happy. My house is cozy and filled with warmth from my family's heart. It makes me happy to be with my family. My sister, brother and I are spoiled but we love our family. Our grandma and grandpa are so nice and they spend so much money on us. I am so glad that they spend their time and money on us three kids. At Christmas we go to our Great Grandma's house and and seeing that her house and my house and we have lots of stuff that's why i feel sad about people not having a house and money. Those kids don't get gifts for Christmas and it makes me sad to hear that. My mom said next year she is going to make us donate a gift that we got for Christmas, and she said that it would make a random kid and us feel good. I think it would make me feel good too, although I'm not so sure about my brother and sister. When my mom said that, I said, “Yes!” and my siblings said, “Okay. It probably would make us feel better.” That's what the meaning of home means to my family. The end.
