Over Christmas break I had a great time but there was also a couple negative moments. On the first Monday I loved the great 2 feet of snow. My brother and I went sledding a ton. The rest of the week we built snow forts, played football, and games until Christmas eve. On Christmas day we opened our gifts. I love Christmas but I hate how my sister acts like she’s sad because she didn’t get the exact present she wanted. You are supposed to be thankful for what and who you have on such a special day, and celebrate the birth of Jesus. A couple days after Christmas my siblings and I went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with my mom. First we went to my grandma and grandpas house. The next day we got snowed in and had to wait till the next day to go visit our old neighbors. The next day we went to my old neighbors house and had a blast. We got to see all of our old friends and played outside almost all day. The next day we went skeeing up in the mountains where my other friend has a house. It was my first time skeeing and it was a blast. At first I fell a lot and had to plow down the steep hills but as I got better I could swerve and slide stop. My friend and his dad were amazing at skeeing they did a double black diamond. He can also do all the half pipes, grinding rails, jumps, and bunny hops. His brother isn’t as good but he’s the best at jumps. He gets so much speed and then unleashes it at the jump. It’s awesome. And by the end of the weekend I could do some of the jumps. After skeeing we went to my Aunt’s house for New year’s eve. I brought a couple of my friends so it was really fun. We had tons of sparkling cider and roasted marshmellows by the fire place. When the new year ball dropped on the television we went crazy everybody was banging pots and pans and I thought I was going to go deaf. I didn’t go deaf and ended up staying up till 4 am. in the morning. It was a great vacation but It had to end some time. We left the day before school was going to start. We got home and guess what? I had a project due the next day!

My millionare experience
Last class in English i won a million dollars on the review game. It was an insane experience. I started out with some easy literary questions to get up to about 25,000 dollars. But it was all uphill from there. Every question became much harder. The questions even referred to the most dangerous game! I ended up getting to the final question and aced it. I won a million dollars on a fake review game!
