Christmas
Well Christmas was surprising at my house. My family finally met my uncle’s new girlfriend and they both showed up on time! That’s an amazing occurrence at my house! I got a ton of great stuff. My uncle gave me a palm pilot; my dad gave me an awesome new Television. It’s one with a built in VCR and AM/FM radio. It’s really cool. My grandmother took me to IKEA and I got all sorts of new stuff for my room. I also got a bunch of little stuff from my uncle’s new girlfriend and my uncle and my grandmother and I also got a lamp that spins from my sister and I haven’t seen the rest of my family yet.

The Christmas party in Reading Class
In reading class at school we decided to have a party and have drinks, snacks and games and we would just chill out. That’s what we all thought but it was the last period of the day and we were all excited about reading and we got there and got our snack and sat down and started to talk to our friends. Then the teacher started to yell at us and told us that we had to play this boring stupid game! We thought that we had the option to play the game. Apparently not we all had to play the game! Everyone just got mad and started talking! Our team tried to loose it was sooo funny!

New Years Eve
On New Years I thought that we were going to a party in Frenchtown but that didn’t work out, so we went to a neighbor’s party. It was fun! My friend and I just ended up serving orderves and asking if people wanted drinks but then we went upstairs
and played charades. That was pretty fun! Then people started leaving and we put on music and started dancing that was sooo fun! Then we sort of calmed down and we started leaving. The whole party was a blast!
