The thing that I am looking most forward to over winter break is my aunt's Christmas Eve party. At the party, I get to see relatives that I almost never see, along with friends of the family. There are great appetizers, and it's lots of fun. Near the end of the party, my Uncle Ernie comes dressed up in a Santa suit. Some of the youngish kids notice he's "gone," so we tell them he has "claustrophobia." After the party, my immediate family and I drive to a neighborhood that lines their streets and sidewalks with luminaries. Luminaries are lit candles with a paper bag over them, and they look really neat after dark.
Something else I like about winter break is that I don't have to do much. I have little or no homework, and can sit around the house all day (sort of), or sleep in. I am also allowed to watch more TV, and play more video games without school work to do. This break, though, I have to work in Rosetta Stone for French, and study for the upcoming Science Bowl. I also like being able to use my Christmas presents for about 3 weeks, and I'm always allowed to play more video games if I pull the "But I just got it!" line. Also, during the Christmas season, my family plays Christmas music all day, which is also fun to listen to. Although it's not actually over winter break, Friday is my birthday, and my family and I are going to see the "How to Train Your Dragon" performance at the theater.
