Christmas Break

This week is finals, I am pretty stressed, but there is an upside to this stress. I have been studying, and hopefully I do good on my finals and get good grades, also at the end of the week it will be Christmas break. Christmas is my favorite time of year. Christmas is when I get to spend alot of time with my family. We really get into the Christmas spirit at my house. My mom already decorated the entire house inside and out with Christmas stuff, she started the day after Thanksgiving. Even though not that many people come to our house for Christmas, we normally go to other people's houses for the holidays, she still decorates, she says she does it for me and my little sister. I really appreciate all the time she puts into decorating, I always invite friends over during this holiday because my house looks so pretty. Like this past weekend, my roomie from school came home with me to meet my family and she was taking pictures of my house to show her family because she said it looked so nice, I thought it was kinda funny. My mom and I, also bake really good food during Christmas for people in my family, like cookies, pies, and breads. This break should be alot of fun also because I get to spend one week with just my parents alone, because I get out of school a week before my little sister. Some people might think that its weird that I like spending time with my parents, but I dont, they are really great and I love them both alot. My mom already has the week planned out with everything were going to do, like shopping and baking, Im really excited. Over break I am going to go snowboarding, I really want to take my little sister,she is really good and a few of my friends because this will be the first year I can drive myself up to the mountains to go snowboard. Not this weekend, but the next weekend coming up, my family and my grandparents are going to go the Festival of Lights in Riverside, it is supposed to be really fun, and there is ice skating there too, which I love. Over break I also get to see my little nephew, he is growing up so fast, this will be his first Christmas where he can actually open his presents on his own. I also am going to get to see all my friends that live back in Elsinore, we already have stuff planned out to do. Over break it will be not only Christmas, but New Years. I normally go to a family party on New Years during the evening then that night I go hangout with my friends, it should be fun. This year went by so fast and I have experienced so many new things, I cant wait to see what next year will bring. I cant wait for this break to be here, I really want to go back home and get out of this dorm room!
