Winter Break



With the winter break fast approaching, what are you most excited about? Does your family have any specials plans for the break? What do you most enjoy about this time of year (besides having time off of school)? Is it spending time with family and friends, it is just hanging out, or is there something that your family always does during the break.

Please share with your classmates and make sure that you have at least 6 sentences in your response.

  4. Every year for Christmas my family either goes to California or Oklahoma. Every year we switch off. Last year we went to Oklahoma so this year we are going to California. We go to California to see my mom's side of the family and my dad is from Oklahoma. Last year (when we went to Oklahoma) we had a white Christmas! I also got to see my grandparent's new house. They live on a golf coarse on the edge of the woods so we got to see a lot of cute chipmunks, squirrels, and all sort of other creatures that were supposed to be hibernating! It was a lot of fun, But, we have a lot of fun in California too. It is a really nice neighborhood and everyone knows each other. My other grandparent's house (the ones in California) are the main host of our huge family Christmas. All around my grandparent's fireplace there are about 30 stockings. It is so much fun!

  6. My favorite part about winter break is Christmas. On Christmas Eve, I always go to my grandma's house with everyone else on my mom's side of the family. We have to take pictures and we also get to open presents. On Christmas morning, my brother and I always have to wait until my parents get up. Then, we get to look inside of our stockings. My grandma and grandpa on my dad's side of the family come over and we have to wait to have breakfast. Finally, we get to open gifts. I am so excited for Christmas.

  8. I am freaking out about Christmas break. Every year the day after Christmas, my grandpa takes my family to Telluride, Colorado. My grandpa and his wife are skiers but me and my brother are snowboarders. During the day when me and my brother are boarding, we sneak over to a candy store called the Sweet Life. This is my favorite place to get candy. They don't just have candy, they also have ice cream and others. I love the Holidays. So this is what I do on my Christmas break.

  9. Every year for Christmas my stepdad, my mom, and I all go to see my grandparents. Almost all of my family live in one little town called "Tonto Basin" and its very convenient because for holidays we can all meet at someone`s house. I love Christmas time and I especially like the food. My family usually will go to my aunts house because her house is a lot bigger then others. Everybody always brings one item to eat and we put things together and we have a big holiday dinner. One thing I find funny is that not always there is a Christmas tree because every thing is always so important that it sometimes gets forgotten about. but anyways those are some things I do for Christmas.

  10. During Christmas break in my family, we see our friends the Tolpes and we have a holiday dinner with them. Some Christmas' we go to New York to see our family and play in the snow. Other winters we go to Sedona and play in the snow there because we have a time share there and sometimes we go there for spring break because they have a giant chess board, so big that I can't sit on the top of the king or queen. On Christmas Eve night we go on the computer and watch to see where Santa is until we see him coming our way, then we go to bed. We also like to go around the neighborhood and look at the lights and go to this one house that has bubbles flouting around, lots of lights, a window full of Christmas things and sometimes Santa comes. I love Christmas and winter break.

  11. My family's tradition is to hang up stockings for Santa. We also have a tradition of a Christmas Day countdown. I would usually do the How many days before Santa comes. Another one of my family's tradition is when one of us wakes up in the middle of the night to see the presents and then go and wake the rest of us up. This year it is my turn to see the presents. It is going to be so much fun! We always bake Christmas cookies for Santa and also give him a glass of chocolate milk. My mom has a tradition of a cookie exchange every year. It's when we invite people over that we know, and they bake cookies and we decide who's is the best. Those are my family's holiday traditions.

  12. I'm excited for Winter Break because this is the time of year when my grandma comes in from California. We always set some time where we can spend time together. We always make homemade sugar cookies. I usually go to my great grandma's and decorate the tree then spend Christmas there. On Christmas eve, we go to a party. My family plays a game where members of the family buy gifts, and the kids pick one. It's really fun. On Christmas morning, I love to see the smile on my little brother's face when he sees the presents under the Christmas tree.

    and has great air.winter break in Arizona has one thing that's not the same is
    that it does not have snow like pa.the thing that is the same is that grass and plant
    and also cracks are frozen. also Santa is real like God and Jesus but some people don't think he's real but that don't break my Christmas spirit.So have a marry jolly

  25. During winter break I usually just hang out with friends and family! During break on Christmas I am going over to my grandmas for brunch just to see my family from college again! During vacation I usually spend a day or two with my grandma because I am always busy and barley get to spend time with her even though we are very close! Occasionally I will sleep at my cousin's house or they will sleep at mine and we will laugh, have fun, and watch movies! On occasion I will do something unique like paint pottery, ice skate or go bowling! These are some things I do over winter break! #8

  28. For Winter Break I normally go to South Dakota and play in the snow but this time we are having Christmas here. We always have my Grandma cook and we have the family play a board game. On Christmas Eve we open the gifts from our family. My favorite part of winter break though is New years eve. I mostly go over to a friends house and stay up until 12:00. I love winter break.

It's also cool that you don't wake up for school early but for christmas you wake up early and you'r not even tired. It's good we have a week or two weeks because we could play with whatever we got.

  31. I am most extcited about Christmas because it is my favorite holiday and it is in winter break how cool is that. I am also most excited about Christmas because there is just something about spending time with my family while opening presents that I love. I also love eating a big dinner while watching football even though I dont know much about it. But, that's what makes me like it. Another thing I love about winter break is staying up and waiting for my Christmas presents. It's so fun. Those are some things I love about winter break. #13 -Nate
