Christmas Break

                                                             Christmas

            Author’s Note: Every kid is excited for Christmas! Playing in the snow, being with family, and opening presents. Down below are all the reasons why I am extremely excited.

      Christmas is always a special time of year. Lights fill the streets and snow covers the ground. There are always presents wrapped in red and green awaiting you under the decorated tree. The best part about it is getting to visit with your family. I only see my relatives 4 times a year so when I get that chance I never take it for granted.

      Anyways, on to my plans. My family lives in Pennsylvania and New York, so one day we would have to spend driving. On Christmas Eve it usually is a relaxed day (which we would spend at my grandparents house). Sometimes my sister and I will build a gingerbread house or just hang out with my cousins. Same goes for Christmas day. Once we finish opening presents we have a big breakfast  to start the next part of our day. Later that evening my Aunt is going to make a big dinner for everyone. The part of Pennsylvania that my grandparents live in is only 2 hours away from NYC.
      Being that length we will go there on the 26th. Some plans we have for there is to go to a Broadway show because our friend knows a producer so we got 9 free tickets! We also plan to go ice skating in Rockefeller plaza. The city is always beautiful when there is decorations and a big snowfall. After a day in the big apple we are heading to a different part of New york to visit my dad’s side of the family.
     On my dad’s side I have 15 cousins and 2 are younger than me. I always have a lot of fun at my cousins house because the day is fresh off of Christmas and everyone is still excited. My family tends to be a little crazy so it’s always hectic but fun. After 2 days there I am going to go to where I used to live in New York and visit some of my friends.
      My friends and I plan to go shopping and to see the new movie New Years Eve. I haven’t seen my really good friend in 7 months and I am so excited to see her because we have been friends since we were 3 years old.

        All these reasons are why I am so excited for Christmas because it’s not the presents that matter it is the people that you are with.
