Making the Best of a Snow Day

One of my favorite things to do during the month of December is to watch Christmas movies. My mom only brings out the movies during December, and it is so much fun to watch them since I haven’t seen them since last year. Every day in December we cram all the movies we can watch, and the only thing aloud on the TV is Christmas’s movies or music.

Another activity I like to do is bake Christmas’s cookies with my mom. My mom started a tradition when she was pregnant with me that in the month of December she makes at least 13 different kinds of cookies. I have now joined her in the chaos to create these amazing not only cookies, but white trash, and fudge. I love the smell of the cookies baking in the oven and getting to try them when they are so warm.

I also enjoy playing in the snow with my family. My brother and I go sled riding on the fire hall hill until my dad gets home from work. I actually broke my collar bone on that same hill. When my dad gets home everyone in the family goes night sledding, and see how many people can fit on one sled. We also create new sleds so all of us can fit there is even room for my dog. On the weekends though when my dad gets off work early is my favorite. My brother, my dad and I all go outside and build the biggest snowman we can.
