Before or during winter my family and I make a yummy gingerbread house. This year the day after Christmas we're going up to Whistler. Ice skating and skiing is usually one of are traditions. My family and I always decorate the tree, put up lots of lights, and sip warm mugs of hot chocolate. We also love to watch the ball drop in New York on our T.V.

We will be celebrating Christmas this winter-break. The 17th-22nd we will be in Oregon celebrating Christmas and Thanksgiving since we couldn’t go down there in November. Going down there is pretty fun because
#1. We don’t get to see our grandparents that much. #2. We get together and get to have a lot of fun. And #3. Since we have a lot of relatives down there, we get to see most of our relatives.
On the 24th we get to go down to Olympia to our Papa’s & Yaya’s and have diner and play with our cousin.
(Greek Language) Εμείς θα γιορτάζουμε τα Χριστούγεννα αυτό το χειμώνα-break. Ο δέκατος έβδομος με εικοστό δεύτερο θα είμαστε σε Όρεγκον εορτασμό των Χριστουγέννων και την ημέρα των ευχαριστιών από τη στιγμή που δεν θα μπορούσε να μείνει εκεί το Νοέμβριο. Πηγαίνοντας εκεί κάτω είναι αρκετά διασκεδαστικό, επειδή
# 1. Δεν έχετε να δείτε τους παππούδες μας τόσο πολύ. # 2. Παίρνουμε μαζί και να πάρετε για να έχουν πολλή διασκέδαση. Και # 3. Δεδομένου ότι έχουμε πολλά συγγενείς εκεί κάτω, έχουμε την ευκαιρία να δούμε περισσότερα από τους συγγενείς μας.
Στις 24 έχουμε την ευκαιρία να πάει κάτω στην Ολυμπία για να του Παπά και του Yaya και το δείπνο μας και παίζουν με τον ξάδελφό μας.

Me and my family celebrate Christmas. Chirtsmas is on 12/25 each year. On the 24th of the 12th month we track Santa via NORAD online. Then on the 25th we wait to all go downstairs together. We open presents and look in our stockings. After that, we get ready and head south to spend the rest of the day with family.

My family and I celibrate, you guessed it, Christmas. One of our Christmas traditions is going on the train that runs every year called The Santa Train. This train goes to the other train were you can meet "Santa" and you get cookies and hot chocolate after! (That's my favorite part!)
Another tradition is handprint orniments. Every year we handprint a special orniment and hang it on our tree.
Another tradition is watching Christmas movies.
One of my favorite traditions is staying up late and watching the ball drop on New Year on TV. (Don't tell my little brother!)
Those are my favorite Christmas traditions.

TESSA said...

Ps. We also track Santa via NORAD.

My family and I celabrate Chirstmas. So frist we get a Chirstmas tree and decrate it. Then we decrate the house and put Chirstmas lights up. So on Chirstmas every year we open all the presents at our house then we all take our favorate thing we got then take it to one of my grandma and grandpas house then open all of those presents then say " good bye". Then we go to my moms mom then show off the presents we got then allways we open the stockens first then sometimes it boring because we each have to open ONLY ONE PRESENT AT A TIME!! and theres like 14 pepole allways there so its so slow to open a present. So thats my Chirstmas!

My favorite winter holiday is Christmas. Every Christmas, I decorate a Christmas tree with my family. We always get advent calendars to open before Christmas. Every Christmas, we hang stockings above the fireplace to be filled with gifts. We always leave out cookies, milk, and carrots for Santa Claus. I love making gingerbread houses and Christmas cookies with my mom. My brother, Colin, and I wake up early and run downstairs to open presents while my dad videotapes us.

For Christmas, me and my mom go on a long trip to see my family. We always have a big dinner and watch movies. Then we open presents and we are always happy on Christmas. We get to go sledding, we turn on some music and dance around. My Christmas is always a joyful time of the year.

We celebrate New Year’s. Every year my family and friends get together somewhere fancy. There is a kid section and the adult section. In the kid section there is food such as steamed rice, chicken, beef, and fried rice. We also play games such as UNO, monopoly, and tag for two hours and a half hours. Two hours before midnight all the kids go to the adult room. Ten seconds before midnight we start counting down from ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, and one. At midnight all the balloons fall from the ceiling. After midnight we all start dancing and talked to each other. That’s how we celebrate New Years

My family celebrates Christmas! Every year we go to my Grandma and Grandpa's house on Christmas Eve. We open presents, and eat a fabulous dinner. We always sit on Santa's lap. We also go to Snowflake Lane, go to the movies, and go to dinner in Bellevue. We also go to the Botanical gardens in Bellevue. I have a wonderful Christmas every year, and I hope you do you!

But I love to give presents thats what Christmas is about, right ? My grandma and grandpa always come over and we have a special diner at our house

Ibrahim said...

Over winter break I will only be celebrating one holiday that is New years. My entire family gathers at my oldest uncle's house. My dad brings home huge tray's of food from our restraunt, for the party. We all eat food and then gather in the party room to play games, talk, and sit around the fire place.Then we stay over that night and have a sleep over with all of my cousins.
