Winter Break

For Winter break, I stayed mostly at home because it was raining for the first week and a half. At first, every hour seemed to be a day’s worth of time. We had a great Christmas though. My whole family got together and celebrated with lots of food. Although the rain left later on, it was still noticeably cold and cloudy. For new years we once again got together and watched the countdown on the big screen. We needed the help of some entertainment to keep us up, so that’s where the games came in. As the clock was counting down, we all got prepared and raised our champagne glasses. Once the clock hit twelve, we all cheered and toasted for the New Year with such joy. After New Year’s, nine days separated my vacation and the long awaited first day of school. We spent the last couple of days watching movies and enjoying our time off. What seemed to be nine days, actually felt like hours. It was Monday, the first day of school, and our first assignment was to write a short essay about our winter break. This winter assignment essay happens to be the one you are currently reading. Once I finished writing the draft of our essay, the teacher went around grading and proof reading our essays. Then it was time to publish and print our essay. So this is it; my winter break assignment.
