Tree sitting

I remember a lot of interesting stories of my childhood: the first time when I discovered what an electric shock was while I hung Christmas lights, a time that I transformed the living room into a circus stage or on a birthday when I asked my parents a data-show projector. For me, those were the first steps to realizing my passion for scenic design. For a long time, I had never thought I would be able some day to work with scenic design or big shows. Then in 2011 I had the privilege to have…

Everyone greeted us at the front door. We would get asked questions and told how much we have grown and how much we look like our parents. After talking to a few people, we started to walk over to our great grandma. My great grandpa was sitting at a counter with her daughters and husband. The whole family knew my great grandma would not last every long because her health was declining rapidly, so having the family together for Christmas was really important, especially to her. After we…

If I were to switch places with somebody for a day, I’d switch places with Santa Claus on Christmas day. Why, you ask? The answer is simple. To ruin Christmas for all the little girls and boys. As Santa Claus, I would fill their presents with their past pet animal’s rotting corpses.

Oh, how I’ll laugh my jolly Santa Claus laugh, my…

The Sesame Street video and The Gift of the Magi are very similar. Yet they also have many differences. The Gift of the Magi is about two people that sacrifice their most loved items to get something to go with the other person's sacrificed thing. The Sesame Street video was a version of the same thing. Some similarities between the two are the characters, the irony, and the setting. The characters are similar because in The Gift of the Magi and the Sesame Street video both characters liked…

I had some Hershey's chocolate and ice cream my dad also had a cherry popsicle.We clicked on the tv and there was…

The Live Production I saw was Hurry Up Santa: The Musical at the Empty Space. Can you believe that Santa and his elves overslept on Christmas Day? Well, in this play, the kids are disappointed that Santa is late and Christmas may never come all because of Santa and his elves were lazy and overslept. My favorite character in this play was Boots. I liked him because his role was very humorous. He panics a lot and does it in a very funny way. I like to watch funny things so his acting really…

Because of the capacity of people on Christmas, my grandmother, aunts, and older girls always cook huge meals for the Christmas dinner after church service. The uncles and boys help set up the…
