I hope that all of you had a good Christmas break. I sure did. There were two main parts to my Christmas break. The first part I spent visiting my family in Canada and the second part was spent hanging out with my wife's family at a cabin near Mt. Hood. The pictures above are of Mary and I at Trillium lake after cross country skiing and our decorated Christmas tree.
When in Canada I was able to spend a lot of time with my family and friends. One night we went out and played some hockey on an outdoor ice rink while the snow was coming down. We were also able to get together with my grandma and my uncles and aunts. In addition, we were able to see my brother and sister-in-laws new house, as well as my sister and brother-in-law's apartment. We spent a lot of time playing games together throughout our time up there. It was great to be able to be back home and around my family.
We rented a cabin in Rhododendron, which is on the way to Mount Hood when Mary's family came out from Michigan. Again we spent a lot of the evenings playing games together. We spent our days skiing at Meadows, sledding at Trillium lake, having snowballs fights in the backyard, visiting the Pittock mansion in Portland, and playing Nintendo Wii with my nephews. It was nice to catch up with all of them, especially since we last saw them last Christmas.

In x-mas i got presents and i think that people can get something like money to buy your ouw stuff to get what heber you like to buy because if you what a present that you like and they get you samething helse you are not going to like it you i pefer to get money to buy what i whant.
This Christmas break was the best I ever had because my dad's family came from Barranquilla Colombia and I met some of his family because I didn't know them.They stayed here for two weeks and for christmas we had a party and we had a mix of colombian and mexican food, and music too. I got presents from them and from friends too, but I didn't give them anything because I didn't get payed in my job. I was really happy when they got here because all my family got together from both of my parents side but I felt so bad when they left. The break was good because I didn't work for a week and I had time to hang out with my friends and with cousins, I had fun over the break.

My Christmas break was fun. i got to see all of my family that I have not seen in a long time. I really enjoyed meeting my new baby nephew. he is only two months old. Another part that I really liked was being able to cook with all of my aunts and talking to them.
I also had some bad times because I was not able to take my permit test. That really sucked. I really studied for it and yet was not able to take it. I was really upset but, other then that every thing was fine.
I also got to spent a lot of times with my mom and dad and I really liked that because I do not really see them because they are always working but, they always make time so they can be with us. My Christmas break was lots of fun.

She did stayed at America just like me and my friends but she left to Japan 3 years ago, so it was surprised to see her. I got a new cellphone on Christmas, gift card and money so this year's winter break was good.

Hey... my cristma break was fun and boring, fun because i got to go to a few parties and have fun with some of my fave peeps, and it was boring cuz i had to stay at home for some periods of time. althhough it was still fun.
I thought my Christmas break was great. I got to spend time with my moms side of the family. We had really good food, and my most favorite part was when we all open our presents. Then when we got home we opened the presents that my parents bought us. Also in my dads family we do this thing called gift exchange which basically means that you put your names in a bowl then you pick out a name and the name you get is the name you have to buy a present for. I wished it would snow a lot and stick to the floor. But everything was great.
This christmas break was great because I got to spend time with my family.I also enjoyed eating all the food that we made and the best part was when I got to eat apple pie. After we were done eating we got to open owr presents and we got to see all the great things that my family got us. Than around 12:00p.m. we got to make firewokrs and it was really fun because my family was there having a good time and that made it really fun to see everyone having an awsome time together. le

The christmas break was great, because I was able to go out more and I had free time to do other things. I really liked it and it was a good break for all students after almost five months. I allocated my spare time for studying my lessons and preparing myself for the rest of the semester.
At christmas I bought a few presents for my relatives and friends and I got several presents from them. But I think the best part was being together and having a marvelous season.
