      Winter break might seem like one of the most fun times of the year, with all those holidays in between, here in la there is lots to do.LA is a city that is quite festive during the holidays. Although there may not be the "white winters", it does get quite cold here. But anyways my winter break was memorable, I do have to admit.
       On the last day of school I stormed out of my last class, and had a 30 minute drive back home, when we finally got there I was glad I did not have any school the next Monday. As Christmas came closer and closer,I realized that we still hadn't gone christmas shopping, of course we were so last minute.So we headed out to the mall, and it was terribly crowded. Being the claustrophobic person I am, I hated it, but there was nothing I could possibly do,so I spent the rest of the day freaking out aside from shopping for gifts. 

        On Christmas eve I visited all my relatives up in Palm Springs, I was excited to see them. We waited several hours for the clock to strike twelve. Once it was time we all started hugging one another, saying "merry Christmas". The party continued after all the hugs were given and a few hours later it was already 4 o'clock in the morning so my parents drove to one of my relatives' house, since we were planning to stay over. On Christmas day we went up to the mountains to go to the snow. Being the Californian I am, I could not stand those type of temperatures. I was so cold but somehow I managed to last a few hours. But it was fun,and I awfully sad to go back to my aunts house because the snow was so pretty to look at.

           As soon as christmas was over we drove back home,and new years was right around the corner. the year seemed to go by so quickly, I was surprised that we were already starting a new year in such short notice. My family and I spent that day at home just watching movies til about 4 in the morning. After that the days went by so quick, I was happy to go back to school. On the night before school I did my best to sleep early to get a good night's rest to wake up not so tired, and that was the end of my winter break.
