My Winter Break

This winter break was a pretty interesting break and some Christmas miracles actually did happen. I ate a lot of really good food and I spent it with my family. I enjoyed my break very much so I guess that is what counts. I had my bad days, obviously, but it was all really fun eventually.

I went ice skating, we cooked a lot of food and I really enjoyed that part because I love to cook food. Some family members I hadn’t seen in a very long time came over and we all ate together. My cousin slept over for a couple days so that was fun as well.

     I guess I will start on how they celebrated my birthday. Honestly it was very boring and I would have liked it if my family would have paid me more attention that day. It’s not every day that one turns the age of their birthday that only happens once. My friends gave me some presents and took me out to eat so that made me feel better.

     At home I spent most of my time cooking and cleaning. My mom says that a girl becomes a woman when she learns to cook and clean. Now my mom has arthritis so she can’t do much around the house to help so it’s up to me and my sister to do it. I love cooking so I don’t mind doing that. I usually cook recipes I get off magazines so it is something different we taste. Obviously that gives me great ideas when it comes to cooking for holiday dinners especially for Christmas.

     On Christmas I made some apple dumplings stuffed with cinnamon, jam, and walnuts. My aunt and uncle finally came over to our house after about three years of not seeing them. That day we went ice skating at Pershing square and it was a lot of fun especially because my cousin couldn’t ice skate.

New Years was really boring and we stayed home all day long I didn’t even feel like cooking. We were suppose to go to my best friend’s house but my dad got home late from work and he had had a problem at his work so he was stressed out. My parents went to sleep really early and it was just me and my sister awake waiting to receive the New Year.

I would have loved to have had more fun and I really wanted to go to the snow but we don’t always get what we want. At the end I am just appreciating the fact that I have my family and I spent my break with them. Family comes first and I have them and even if I didn’t see my friend or even my boyfriend  I am thankful I had the people that will always be there for me, my family.
