The Meaning of Home

I think that the meaning of a home is not just a house, I think a home is the house, the people inside, the people and the area around it. A home is somewhere you grew up in or lived in for a long time. I think that you can have multiple homes but to have a home you need to have good memories in it. You must treat your house with respect. I have 3 homes one in the UK where I am from the other 2 are here in Canada. The house in the UK is the one I grew up in, I lived there from age 1-9. My mum's side of the family would come over every Christmas, and we would all bring games and a joke present. On Christmas morning we would all gather around our Christmas tree and open our presents one at a time. My neighbor was verry kind and thoughtful, she used to give us gifts on random days. She was probably the best neighbor I have ever had. Inside the house we had 2 bedrooms, in me and my brother's room we had a bunk bed, I had the top, and my little brother got the bottom even though our room was small we have a humongous amount of memories. In my living room there is our couch and coffee table where we used to eat our meals and watch TV. Our kitchen was small, but it had everything we needed. Behind my house was a gigantic park stretching over 10 miles long. It has a zoo, multiple cafes, playgrounds, and even a restaurant. Overall, that is what I call home, but most people have a different and unique home all special in their own way
