Christmas break came right before my eyes. I was excited for it because I was going to my mom’s house for Christmas. I can’t even remember the last time I stayed there for Christmas. I couldn’t wait to go, the day was going by so slow. I needed to figure out what would pass my time. I tried playing on my phone, I went outside, and I even tried watching TV. Nothing was working.
