new years

My three wishes for the new years is to, one improve my soccer skills and get along with my team more than last year. I Would also like to improve my grades a bit and get more A's than last year's report card. I would also like to improve my mountain biking

by next year and be able to go mountain biking with my friends. Those are the things that I would like to improve the most before the next year.

What Skills did I learn in the Past Year!

One of the three skills I learned in the past year was to carve and chisel wood. I made an Indian carving that looked like an owl on top of a hippopotamus on top of a wolf. The second skill I learned from my three skills is that I learned how to snorkel, although I was only about one foot from the surface of the water so there wasn't much thrill in it. The third and final skill I learned in 2009 is I learned how to make a mean pizza with oregano, grated cheese, Salome and some other meat i can not remember the name of, it is so good. Those are the three skills I learned in 2009.

Three things I look forward to in the New Year

The first thing that I am looking forward to is going to Italy with my family, and spending more time with them. It's going to be weird because of the time change, And I will not understand anyone because I don't speak or understand Italian. The Second thing I am looking forward to is spending more time in Vancouver with my family and friends. I love going there because it's fun to see my father , but I also get to see my old friends from elementary school. The Third thing that I am really looking forward to is going to Comox with Brenna, and meeting all of her family members and her close friends. I love going to places with Brenna because she is my close friend, and I can talk to her about every thing. (:

Top Three Things Im Looking Forward To This Year :)

The top three things I'm looking forward to in the new year are.... The first thing I'm looking forward to is visiting my best friend Christy in Germany, It will be my first flight across the world by myself. I very excited. After I arrive, I'll have to get use to the nine-hour time change, then I'll be able to travel to near by cities and towns using the train system. The second thing I'm looking forward to more frequent visits with my father and his family in Comox, since he's back from working in Bermuda and the Grand Prairie for the last two years, I miss him a great deal and can't wait to see him next week. The last thing im looking forward to in the new year is to make the grade eight girls competitive volleyball team, I really hope all my wishes come true, including yours!!!!!

My New Year's Goals!

A new year calls for a celebration, maybe a party or just getting together with close friends and family. I am really looking forward to a new year, 2010! There are 3 major goals I have for this year, and they all are extremely important to me. One thing would be to help someone in need, and make a difference in their life. It could be a friend, a family member, or even a complete strange, as long as I do a little something to change their life for the better, I'm satisfied. Number two on my list is to really take a different outlook on life, and to be less judgemental about my peers and the people around me. I hope to have a different thought about life and the way I think about people, and change that for the better good. Last but not least, my third goal for 2010 is to think for myself. I don't want to let anyone else's thoughts change the way i think or feel. I want to be more indepent, and show people that I can think for myself. Being indepent is really important to me because I feel like my own person and that I don't need to rely on anyone for me to get the job down. All of these goals are really important to me, and I want to succeed them ALL! I hope 2010 is a good year for me and brings me the best! :)

My New Year's Reflection.

I have lots of wishes for the New Year, but I have three wishes that are important to me. The first wish I have is to improve my school grades, and to get more A's. I also would like to improve my soccer skills for the New Year. The second wish I have is to get my parents to take me to Dubai, so I can visit my Uncle, Aunt, and my two younger Cousins. If I traveled to Dubai I would also go to other places in Europe like Italy, Rome, Germany!!! The third wish I have is to go to Calgary to visit my friend Katie because we have been friends for five years and I haven't seen her since she moved to Calgary in grade six. If possible I would also like to go to watch one of the activities for the 2010 Olympic games that are being held in Vancouver, BC.

What I Think Christmas is About.

I think Christmas is about the traditions of meeting family and relatives. Then there is the fun in Christmas, like for example, putting cookies and carrots out for Santa on Christmas Eve. Although when I was younger, I would put the treats out for Santa and his Reindeer and then come Christmas morning they would be gone. There is also traditions in Christmas like the Christmas Eve dinner, the traditional turkey, the egg nog and the Fruit cake. There is also the joy of getting presents, but it is not always about the presents, it is also about spending time with your remaining relatives because when you start to age you start getting more lonely because they can not do as many things as they used to. They can not go for long walks, play sports, so it is always a good to spend time with your grandparents. It is also good to be surprised with Christmas presents as-well though. Christmas is a very special occasion.

What Christmas Means To Me

At my house, Christmas is always a busy time. Relatives come from all around Canada, and sometimes even from the United Kingdom. Almost every year my grandma and grandpa Birkett come from the chilly little town of Love, Saskatchewan, to be with us. It's a tiny town, with only a hall, two little gift shops, a school house, a few other buildings, and less than one hundred residents! I very rarely get to see my aunt, uncle, and cousins, but this year they will be coming from Kamloops to stay with us for a month. My grandparents will not be able to come because my grandpa has to receive heart surgery today, so he will need the month to rest. My other grandma will come, though, so I will at least have one grandparent with me. I have many other relatives, and they alternate coming to stay at our house and my cousins place on the mainland, so my family is never without company. Christmas is a time of visiting and catching up with each other.

When December comes around, my mom goes Christmas crazy with decorations, lights, a huge tree, a bunch of perfectly wrapped gifts, baking, and warm, home-cooked meals. My dad puts up the lights, my brother and I decorate the tree and wrap our presents, while my mom takes care of the rest. Christmas is a time of preperations with my family.

On Christmas Eve, my brother and I open one present each, whichever one we want. We always have KFC for dinner on this night, as a tradition. Then we watch old movies and eat baked treats by the fire. After my large family has finished catching up, we all go to sleep. Christmas is a time of traditions.

On Christmas morning, everyone waits to see who is the last one to wake up, then we all yell, "Merry Christmas!" really loudly by their bed. After everyone is up, we all file into the living room, take a seat on the couch, and take a picture. Then comes presents. We spend most of the morning ripping, tearing, opening gifts. When all of the commotion is over, we thank each other and get ready for supper, which we all look forward to. Christmas is a time to be thankful.

Finally, after dinner, everyone visits and chats, the kids play with gifts, and the dogs sleep. Every one is in high spirits. Christmas is ultimately a time for family- everyone together on a great day.

What Christmas Means to Me.

My Christmas
Topic
Christmas
is an important
time of year to a
lot of people. Many
people enjoy the gifts
they receive but they don't
consider the fact that it is not
what you receive, but what you
give. An extremely important part of
Christmas to me is the snow. Snow is so
important that if there wasn't any snow
I wouldn't be as happy. Guitar is a big
part of my life so I learn Christmas songs.
Songs like Jingle bells, Silent Night, and many
others. Food is an important factor. I have a
Christmas eve party and a Christmas
morning breakfast and a Christmas night party
. Meeting with family and friends is the most
important thing of all.
I know a lot of families
celebrate Christmas
differently but this
is how I celebrate mine.

What I Think Chirstmas Is About

I think Christmas is about three things.
Number One: Spending lots of time with your family.
Number Two: Decorating the Christmas tree and your house.
Number Three: Giving and receiving presents.
I also think that Christmas is a money based holiday. The big business owners always raise the prices of what they sell around December and January. Merry Christmas to you too, you greedy little pigs. My favorite thing about Christmas is the snow.... or it was the snow. Back in Calgary, we got ten inches of snow in the winter. In Victoria we only get around.... maybe one or two inches? I don't know exactly but you get the picture. In Calgary we made huge snow forts and i mean huge. We also had snowball wars. there was enough snow to last us a good hour of throwing snowballs into the other persons base. My favorite thing to do in the snow though was sledding. We had a huge hill behind one of my friend's house. I know your probably thinking, "What? Hills in Calgary?" There are hills and there huge. Anyway we got about twenty-thirty kids and all lined up at the top of the hill. We each then ran five steps and jumped onto are sleds. The hill took about one minute sled down and about seven to walk back up. It was insanely fun. That's what i think about Christmas. Lets hope we get some snow that will actually last this year.
