Longmeadow Narrative

Decent Essays
After a long, fun, and adventurous break in Longmeadow, I find myself back here in Deerfield. Winter vacation lived up to all of the hype for sure. Being in town with all my old friends was a great experience. Not only hanging out with them and seeing how they’ve been, but hearing about the stories that have been going around my old school and gossip like that. The best part of my break was going to a New Year’s party with all of my friends and seeing even more familiar faces. I also enjoyed seeing my whole family gather at my house for Christmas, which is fortunate because I didn’t have to make any long drives to other family member’s house. Although I have sort of grown out of it, opening presents on Christmas is still a blast. This year

    The Confederates shot from the Wilderness at the Union soldiers. The trees and underbrush made moving hard because of the difficulty the troops faced to move in an orderly fashion and was extremely rough on the cavalry and artillery. Right after 5 am the Union second corps, led by Winfield Scott Hancock, drove back the Confederates nearly a mile. James Longstreet arrived to aid the Confederates helping the fighting to be even more intense than the first day of the battle. Unfortunately for James and many others, the smoke from the canons and guns along with the early morning fog, made it almost impossible to see.…

    So it finally snowed! I’m happy that it finally did and I built a snowman during the storm and it looks kind of…squared you could say. Since the snow is heavy, more of the leaves are now fallen off and it’s starting to look like winter. Today I went to my grandparents’ house to spend the few nights until thanksgiving. While driving out there, the corn fields and the bean fields were all covered with snow, you could tell that the deer were out and about since you could clearly see the footprints in the snow.…

    From smelling the salty waters by the Florida Keys, seeing all of the green from the stems of green beans growing, the flavor of the freshest eggs you could get from the coop in the backyard, to the avocado tree growing in the backyard, my trip to Florida had become one of the greatest life experiences I’ve had yet. Visiting Florida taught me many skills on being independent, mentally, and how easy and fun it is just to be to yourself sometimes. It all started Christmas eve when I got home to find my presents from “Santa” there before we even went to bed. My parents had planned on taking a vacation to Florida for Christmas break to see my grandparents, but we were unable to also get my parents there.…

    The true meaning of Christmas, or rather the profoundness of the gift, and what it means. At this time of years, there is tremendous love that surges through our family’s, our churches, our school, and our communities. The love is imbedded into our American and English cultures across every level and every fiber, and this huge upwelling of compassing and love starts in the United States about two weeks before Thanksgiving, climbs to a peak on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and then for a week after Christmas to a second peak on New years Day and New Years Eve, and this seasonal feeling continues for about two weeks into the new year. What is remarkable about this time of year, is not so much the time of year, or how cold it is out, or if…
