Christmas

Christmas is my favourite time of year.  It is my favourite time of the year because I get a lot of presents from my family.  My grandmother cooks a big turkey and we also have stuffing, roasted potatoes, gravy, carrots and broccoli.  We also cook a big ham. My family does not go anywhere for Christmas. We just stay home and sleep. I am looking forward to Christmas break.

This year I asked for toys such as Power Rangers and Star Wars figurines.  I think I will receive what I asked for because my parents will buy them for me.  The biggest thing I asked for this year was video games for my Xbox One S. Some guys I want are Spiderman and Lego Ninjago.

For me, Christmas is about having fun with my parents and grandparents.  I really enjoy the presents also. I bought presents for my grandparents this year.  For my grandmother I bought an owl coffee mug and for my grandfather I bought a Tim Horton’s coffee mug.  My mother helped me pay for these presents. For my parents I might make something for them like a Christmas card.

In Art class, we are drawing the Grinch.  We read the story and talked about why he doesn’t like Christmas.  Personally, I think the Grinch is fine.

Cheesy Scary Movies

Have you heard of cheesy, scary movies?  These movies are one of my favourite types to watch.  If you don't know what cheesy scary movies are, it just means movies that aren't that scary and are kind of silly.  You will realize that it’s not real because the effects are fake. For example, they use milk when they spit up.

These movies also help you lose your fear of things, like zombies or stuff that you don't really like.  For example, I used to be really scared of storms and the dark. Once I started watching scary movies they started making it so I'm not scared of the dark.  I’m also not scared of stuff under the bottom of my bed anymore. I used to be scared of lots of stuff and once you watch some cheesy scary movies it really helps you so you're not scared about certain stuff that you used to be scared of.

If you want to watch cheesy scary movies I recommend The Evil Dead but it's not that scary but there's a lot of blood and it's pretty gory.  If you're wondering what gory means it means pretty bloody. I also recommend comic books for cheesy scary movies. They're pretty good. But the comic books for the Evil Dead are pretty hard to find because they're not making them anymore.  And if you want to watch all those big scary ones like The Nun and stuff I would make sure to watch lots of cheesy movies so you can build up to the level of scary movies.

Do you like scary cheesy movies?  What scares you the most? Describe your favourite type of movie.

Skiing

I started skiing when I was six years old.  At first it was really difficult to learn but now it’s really easy.  I have my own equipment which includes skis, poles, helmet and boots.  

There are three types of runs:  green, blue and black. Green is the easiest while black is the hardest.  This year I started on the green runs just to get my legs back. Last year I went on the black diamond and it is very steep and dangerous if you’re not very good at skiing.

I went skiing in November and I had so much fun.  I went to Sunshine Village in Banff with my father and my sister. When we got there I had to go on the gondola which is a moving cart that takes you up the mountain and and it took a long time to get up to the top of the mountain.

I went on lots of chair lifts and one in Sunshine had a  cover and heated seats. One of the chair lifts went into the clouds but I did not get to go there.  I did not get hurt when I was skiing but my sister fell a couple of times and I did crash into her once and she started crying and I got in trouble.  

We also ate lunch there.  I had hot chocolate and chicken nuggets it was really good.  I go skiing quite often with my family.

Have you ever gone skiing and did you enjoy it?  Describe your experience skiing. Are you looking forward to our Snow Valley trip in March?
