Christmas

My most favorite part of Christmas break is the fact that we have no school for two weeks.

Christmas break is the first major break we have from school. It gets us away from bullies, nagging teachers, and walking in the cold to the bus stop.

The other favorite part of Christmas break is that Christmas is just a week away from when we first get off from school. Christmas is the greatest day of the year because we get gifts and we get to see our family members. I have an uncle and cousins that live in Ohio and the only time my family and I see them is Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve everyone on my mom's side of the family goes to my grandparent's house. I enjoy seeing my family members.

On Christmas Day, I used to get up really early at 3:30 in the morning to see what Santa had left me. I would take my brother's stocking and lay it next to him so when he gets up he can see what he got. I like getting up really early because Christmas is the greatest day in the world and I want it to go by slowly and seem like it took a week. My mom wants my family to go to midnight mass at church.

I am planning to wrap gifts in several layers of wrapping paper. I did that a couple years ago to my brother and he kept on getting upset every time he thought that he had gotten to the gift and another layer of wrapping paper popped up.

I am going to pull the best prank ever on my brother. I will wake up really early, take my brother's stocking with presents and replace it with a stocking full of coal. I bet my brother will be upset and I want to see the look on his face. I would laugh and laugh and laugh.

On Christmas Day, there are NBA basketball games. I don't like that. Christmas is all about spending time with your family. The players, coaches, fans and the basketball arena's staff should be home with their family.

My other favorite part of Christmas break are the college football bowl games. The bowl games make Christmas Break more fun. My favorite bowl game is the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The best Rose Bowl would be the 2006 Rose Bowl when the Texas Longhorns played the USC Trojans. http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/preview?gameId=300012483
