My Plans For the Holiday Break!

After this week, our school starts winter break. Our break is December 22nd – January 2nd. After school this Friday, Our family is going over to our friends house to exchange gifts. We do this every single year, and we usually have dinner together, which is really fun.

Then on Saturday evening, my sister, mom, and I are going around the area to look at lights. We make hot chocolate, put on Christmas music, and drive around looking at the different lights on the houses, which is really fun.

Then, on Sunday, I don’t think we have any plans, the only thing I think we are doing is baking cookies. Next on Monday, it’s Christmas Eve, and we are going over to my grandparents house. We usually stay for most of the day, we will probably leave to go eat lunch and stay till about 8:00. Then, when we get home, we open our stockings and put on Christmas PJ’s. Then, usually my sister and I will stay up and talk and have fun then go to sleep.

On Tuesday, it’s Christmas, the best part of the break! Every morning, we wait till our parents wake up, and we go downstairs to open presents. Afterwards, our parents usually make pancakes for breakfast, if we have time. But this year, we might not because we are going to visit my great aunt. She lives about 2 hours away, so we leave around 11:00, and start driving.

But sometimes, we eat lunch at our favorite chinese restaurant, since they are open on Christmas and in the area, and other times we will eat lunch at my great aunt’s house. But either way, we will then have dessert and the parents will talk. Then, my second cousin Kaylie usually wants to hangout with my sister and I, so that’s what we do most of the time. And I’m really excited to go also because they have the cutest dog ever!

Then, on Wednesday, I don’t think we have plans, same for Thursday. Next on Friday, we are going to drive up north to see my mom’s side of family, my grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins. They live about 4 and a half hours away, so it’s basically a road trip, but it makes it fun being in the car because I get to talk with my family. When we get there, I don’t know if we are eating lunch there, and I don’t know what time we are even going to start driving there, but we will probably go to my cousins and aunt and uncle’s house first. Then, we’ll stay and I’ll be playing with their two cats and dog, (did I mention I love animals?)

Next, after we visit them, we will check into our hotel. And we will probably meet up for dinner with my grandparents, cousins, and aunt and uncle. Afterwards, we will probably visit my grandparents house for a little, which I will be playing with their three cats, of course. Then we will probably meet up for lunch the next day and start driving back.

Then on Sunday, my friends and I are going to Hershey Park and Chocolate World, which will be fun and we will be there for the whole day. Then for the last two days of break, I think the only thing we might be doing is going back to our friends house ( the ones we are gonna do the gift exchange with on Friday) for New Year’s Eve and probably have a sleepover there into New Year’s Day. These are my plans for the holiday break!
