Christmas

CHRISTMAS!

Christmas is next Friday! Cant you believe it!

I love Christmas! Its the best holliday in the year. Even better than my birthday! The only bad thing about christmas is that it goes to fast.. one day feels like one hour... :(

This year im spending my christmas here.. in Jakarta... My uncle is coming in from Singapore and i also am spendindg it with my families best friends family.

The thing i love about christmas is the food and the actual meaning of the celebration! Since im Christian i celebrate christmas as the day jesus was born. On Christmas morning we go down stairs and under the tree there are presents and in our stockings theres usually candy, chocolate and small gifts! but you only get it if your good. In the afternoon we have a Christmas feast with turkey and everything else. In the night we have another feast and we watch christmas movies and crave about our new gifts!

On Sunday last week my family and I set up our christmas trees. On the Christmas trees we put on ornaments and a star at the top. For the upstairs tree we get to decorate it however we want! because the downstairs tree is in the living room so we have to make it look nice. So my mum spaces the ornaments makes sure the colours are balanced and all that but the upstairs tree we put colourfull lights and coulurfull string and cool ornaments. We also decorate the house with anything red green and christmasy.

Have a Nice Holiday!

Snail Mail no more is about these two best friends Elizabeth and Tara. Tara Starr has moved away and so Elizabeth and Tara send post mail, But when Elizabeth visits Tara in the summer they both get computers so the make email. Snail Mail No more.

     During the school year Elizabeth has trouble with her dad leaving her and becoming an alcoholic and with Tara✯Starr having boy problems. 

But can Tara and Elizabeth keep their friendship going?

I really like this book because it is very sad and it is based on two girls normal lives. I also like this book because i like realistic fiction and i have helped my friends through rough times.

HOLIDAY WITH THE COLLINS <3

HOLIDAY WITH THE COLLINS <3

On Friday night during my soccer tournament it started raining. So we were under the tents until the rain stopped or we knew it would get cancelled. I heard people screaming my name and i turned around and it was my friends from Australia. (sophie and olivia. the two girls in the family we had met years ago and know we consider ourselves family.. and we do everything together.) They said when i saw them i looked like i had just seen a ghost. I just couldnt believe that they were here!!

After the soccer got cancelled we went home and ate dinner and watched movies. I was so glad they came, but the only bad part was that my brother got to miss a whole week of school to go to Bali (to see the boy in their family. Who was the same age as my brother and his name was Zac.) The reason i was mad was because during winter my brother got to spend another whole week with them but my sister and I had to go home. :(

SATURDAY:

On Saturday morning we woke up and played sims while eating pancakes. Then at 9:30 i had to leave to go to a gymnastic competiton. They also came to watch me and my sister. After the competiton we waited for my brother and dad to finish their ALL STARS tournament and then we went home. The rest of the day we spent watching movies, eating and talking.

SUNDAY:

On Sunday morning we woke up went down and had breakfast. At 9:00 we got ready to go to Social house for breakfast when we got there we ordered ate and played the UBER hard Twilight movie quiz. (Well for normal people it was hard, but that was one test i could ace!!
