Christmas

I really like holidays, and there are some reasons. Well, first of all, on some holidays, you get days off. And for specific holidays you get stuff. Halloween, candies and LOVELY horror movies. Valentines day, chocolates and flowers. And Christmas... gifts! Well, no more of the magical gifts, but real gifts. Next week monday, me and my friends are exchanging gifts, and I am really excited. Isnt it human nature to get excited by the sight of wrapping papers? I think it is. Well, and christmas parties. Even though there arent any White christmases here, it is still cold. Well, no christmas cakes this year, but a new christmas tree. Yay! Also, our family exchanged christmas cards and ate sweets and fruits. It was fun. We also had music: Christmas carols playing in the background and somesort of little christmas show. Oh! And yesterday, on christmas eve turning to christmas, midnight of Dec. 24 to Dec. 25, I started reading "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Well, it is our english homework to finish it, and all of last week was basketball practice and tournament. And I am still a hundred pages away from finishing "The Hobbit." The book is really good, but I think it is a slow read. Well, I really hope I can finish it soon. Back to the book "A Christmas Carol" Dont you think it is so cool I started reading it on Christmas? I think it is somewhat very remarkable (?) Anyways, the book is really short, only 80 or so pages. I hope I can finish those two books soon! Merry Christmas everyone!!
