Winter Break Candles are lit, cookies are baked, the hot chocolate is hot, snow is falling, now it’s time to get our movie marathon on! The candles added such a warm feeling in the house. As we set up for the movies, I could hear my brothers fight over the last cup of hot chocolate. Even though there was still 3 packets of the coca left. As Sophie and I slipped on our slippers, we went into my warm, nice-smelling room and took polaroid pictures. We were having so much fun, we totally forgot about the movie! We went downstairs and realized we had paused the movie and had panicked over absolutely nothing. This year over Winter Break, I plan to sleep in, play in the snow (if it even snows), and bake with my friends! Every Winter Break I look
As you can tell, I really like the snow, but what you don’t know is, I REALLY HATE THE COLD WEATHER. I wish it could snow in the summertime, but let’s get real, we all know that’s never going to happen. DId you know that the world record for the most snow fallen in one day, is ultimately
8 ft! This was a record for one continuous snowfall! This record we recorded in Silver Lake, Colorado. 40 miles west of Denver. For those reasons, that’s why I’m going to play in the snow over Winter Break!
Lastly, this Winter Break I plan to bake! Especially with my friends. When I ever my friends and family come over we tend to bake. A LOT. We always end up with lots of extras, so we give them as gifts or just hand them out. Now, we can’t go through a day with baking without movies ! So that’s what we usually do with the baked goods. As a result, that’s why I’m going to bake over Winter Break.
During Winter Break I want to, sleep in, go outside and play in the snow (if it even snows) and bake with my friends! Another thing is, sleeping in! Playing in the snow with my family and friends is one of my favorite things to do every Winter. Lastly, baking, especially with my friends are one of the highlights of my break, because, it’s just so much fun, and it’s funny when we burn the cookies! Christmas break is going to be great this
States on the lee, or down wind, sides of the great lakes receive lake-effect snow every year. For some cities this can push the average snowfall up to 400 inches. During the February storm of this year records were broken for the most snowfall in one storm. For a duration of the storm snow was falling at a rate of six inches or more per hour. Some of the images captured from the event leave some in disbelief that such a thing could even happen. Storms of this magnitude completely shut down all activity. Many areas do not have equipment capable of handling such mass amounts of snow, and even if they do the task is overwhelming. (weather.com 2006)
Another way to keep healthy during winter is to not eat so much junk food and not so many pies!!! This will help you because if you eat so much junk food you will get unhealthy and that's never good. You also want to keep your summer muscles, and your summer fitness goals.
Winter can be long and exhausting. The weather is usually cold and gray. Children are aching to get outside and play in the warm sun and without their restricting coats. E. E. Cumming’s intro showed the excitement he faced as a child. He looked forward to Springtime and all the joys that came with that season. Flowers are in bloom, kids are playing, kids are laughing, and you hear the balloon man whistling in the background.
When I think about Thanksgiving and Christmas, the first thought that comes to mind is the good food. Every year my family and I prepare many homemade dishes to celebrate the holidays. For Thanksgiving, my family and I will go all out the way in preparing dinner. We will actually start preparing the food two days in advance, so we can make sure that we have everything is prepared. The food is traditional with Thanksgiving, turkey, ham, collard greens, yams, stuffing, egg nog, cranberry sauce and sweet potato pie. For Christmas, my family does not prepare as much food as we do ...
Spring Break is a time where you get to relax and spend time off from your teachers and classmates. The two things I liked was getting to spend time with my team and getting eighth place at a state meet.
Wednesday: Allow students to tell you about their winter break. You may even want to share what your break was like.
All of the holidays are all great and filled with excitement, but my all time favorite holiday is Christmas. I'm already listening to Christmas music and it's not even Thanksgiving yet. One of the reasons I love Christmas is the music. Every time the magic that is Christmas music goes into my ears gives me a tingling feeling that fills me with joy. The fact that we get presents, white snow, and beautiful music that brings happiness every year makes Christmas time even better. I'm just so ready to wake up and find out Santa Claus came last night, (spoiler alert) not really. To make things better about the upcoming season, my birthday is right around the corner, December 18, exactly one week from Christmas. When Christmas season come along, I'll
When I saw the snow, I had so many feelings inside of me. I could barely speak or breathe. I was feeling so excited about the snow that I had to jump around the house and scream. While I was getting out of bed, I had so much energy! I was extremely energetic and the only way to let it out was to get out and have lots of snow day fun! When I started to get on my warm winter gear, I was curious about what I was going to do when I got outside? Man I can barely wait to start this day! I feel like I might explode with all the amazing things I can do today.
By Friday afternoon it had begun to snow and quickly several inches had accumulated. As the snow was falling, clean up quickly began. The neighborhood soon filled with children excited over the freshly fallen snow. Since all of the schools were closed, the children were assured enjoyment for several days.
The harvest is long over and the winter has moved in to stay. The fields lay dormant, the animals are less active and the earth is at rest. For most, winter on the homestead means daily chores may take longer to complete each day, but there certainly are fewer of them to attend to. Although that does leave more time for dreaming, planning and even relaxing, there are many things that can be done in these last few weeks of winter to make for an easier spring on the homestead. Here are five items to put on the checklist for the end of the winter season.
The atmosphere in the winter, and especially at Christmas is incredible. The mood that is given off and the feel of it all is like the warm tingles you get when sipping the first gulp of your hot chocolate on a freezing cold day; soothing. It’s true; I am such a traditional girl. I think my life would fall apart if I lived in Florida and didn’t get to experience the snow for every Christmas morning. I love snow. I love the look of the trees and roads as you see nothing but the white snowflakes blanketing as far as you can see. I adore the sensation of walking in the snow, breathing that refreshing, cool scent in through my frozen nostrils. I love when that final bell goes freeing the teenagers off into their Christmas holiday. First thing I do is go shopping. It’s funny, I cannot stand shopping; meanwhile when it’s for friends and family at Christmas time, I never feel like I have enough time. I love curling up by the fireplace, or taking a hot bath after the mountain of snow you just had to shovel through. Most importantly though, I love the feeling when you know you’re so happy; that you could freeze that momen...
Baking cookies and eating them just happens to be high on my list of things to do on a snow day! Maybe it’s being able to turn on the oven and raise the temperature in our house or maybe it’s the great feeling that I get from making something yummy for others. I love to bake bread and create desserts. I especially enjoy searching the web
I couldn't have been more than 10 at the time, but I'll never forget this Christmas...about 3 days before, (Friday) school finally let out, after I swore that the clock was moving backwards. Dressed like that kid in the Christmas movie, where he can't put his arms down, my friends and I decided to go sledding. Christmas break! Why not? I had one of those disc sleds, and my little sister in front of me. I go to give us a running start (off of this monumentally large hill-at least to a 10-year-old) and run from about 15 feet back toward my sister.
My spring break was great! Just kidding, i didn’t really do much. I went to work and illinois. There wasn’t much i could do because i had to work. That's all i have been doing is working and school.
I just came home from the United States for the Christmas break, and well, one could not ask for a better gift than to spend a part of its winter break on the mountain with its family. We go to the mountain every year; it is our little tradition, but for the past two years I did not come home over the winter, and thus I was so happy to relive the experience in the cozy, wooden cottage in the hearth of the mountain with my family, which defines me.
