Christmas

Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s a time when people get presents for other people and when people can get together and see each other. There are many reasons why I like Christmas a lot. First of all, I like seeing the lights decorated on people’s homes. I also like seeing all the snow that comes down and also I like having snowball fights, going sledding, and going snowboarding. It’s also fun having a two week break off of school so there's not a lot I need to worry about and I can do what I never get a lot of and that is sleep a lot more. The best thing I like about it though is that my birthday is five days after Christmas.
The one major thing I am asking for and I really need is a new hockey stick. I’m using a one 55 now and that stick isn’t good at all. If you know anything about hockey sticks, is that you can’t really do a lot with this stick, because one it is pretty heavy and you want to use a light stick when you play, and two it’s pretty hard to use. One more thing I want is an iHome for my iPod.
I usually go to Maine for Christmas but this year I’m not but that’s okay. My mom’s whole side of the family lives in Maine so that’s why we usually go. I usually have a good time when I go there for Christmas but sometimes it can be boring there because I have no cousins my age that live there so I usually do stuff with my uncle. My uncle is the head coach of a team that’s basically in the same league as the Plymouth whalers so it’s fun to go see those games. We usually go to a game on my birthday so it’s like a birthday present for me. Other than that though I like visiting my older cousins who are all mostly in their twenties so it’s fun talking and catching up with them. I usually stay at my grandparents house but sometimes I stay over my uncles so it’s like I’m back and forth between the houses because my uncle lives right down the street from my grandparents so it’s nice being able to go to both houses. I really enjoy seeing my relatives from my moms side.
