Decent Essays
Winter Break was pretty fun. My brother came home again from North Carolina. He came from like the 21st of December all the way until the 3rd of January. Half the break was really boring and the other half was pretty exciting. The boring part consisted of days where I just slept all day or played video games. The exciting half on the other hand was full of days with my friends and hanging out with my brother. One of the days my brother took his girlfriend and me to Helium. Helium is a trampoline and climbing place and was way different than what remembered. I liked the way it was before, but it was still awesome to hangout with my brother. It was pretty funny because he's 21 and in the army and he was destroying kids in dodgeball. Christmas

    Every year on Thanksgiving break I have gone to my grandparents house to stay for the week. For me this is important because my grandparents live a good ways away and I barely get to see them. This became a tradition when I moved away from where they live because that's when our other traditions ended like on wednesdays we used to meet somewhere and eat dinner but we can’t do that any more so we thought that Thanksgiving break is a good time to go see them because we have off school and they can get off work. The whole time we are up there we laugh cook and have fun together.…

    Christmas break in my opinion is probably the second best brake that we have throughout our school year. The main thing I like about Christmas break is how long it is. But even though I like how long we are off school it's almost like we don't have a break because basketball takes over. We get a few days off but the rest of the days are hitting the gym early in the mornings for two to three hours a day. The days I have is the best thing in the world because I get to relax and do something fun for once.…
