Christmas Time!




Christmas is a special time of year for many people. Christmas means different things to many people. To me its celebrating the birth of Jesus. Also means giving without wanting anything back. I also have many traditions that take place in between Christmas Eve and Christmas day. But I will just say a few.

Every year on Christmas Eve I go to my aunts house for a dinner. We usually listen to music dance and enjoy the time we are spending together. Then when midnight comes we all go to midnight mass. Then everyone goes home into there warm cozy beds hoping when they wake up there will be gifts under their tree. Another tradition I do is two or three weeks before Christmas I get a Christmas tree with my my family. We bring it home and put it up. Then after its done opening we decorate it with bright lights and a bunch of ornaments that are different shapes and sizes. Then we enjoy it till Christmas when we enjoy it even more. We enjoy it even more because on Christmas day is because when we wake up the tree is filled with lots of gifts under it. My favorite tradition out of the ones I said is putting up a tree and decorating it.Christmas is one of my favorite holidays and I cant wait for it this year. There is only eight days till Christmas. Merry Christmas to all!

Special Blog Post : The last book in the universe

          In school we were reading The last book in the universe. Here is a quick overview of the book: A boy named Spaz lives alone in one of the latches outside Eden. Ten he got kicked out of the latch. But he still remembered and loved his adopted sister bean. One day he got a message from a messenger saying bean was very sick and close to dying. So Spaz goes on a trip to save his sister. He goes on this trip with Ryter an old "Gummy". (They call old people gummies) Along the way a little ophan "Little Face" got attached to them. Also  a proov girl named Lanya joins them who is destined to become the ruler of Eden. The trip was filled with many dangers but finally they reached Beans side. She is very weak and soon goes into a coma. Her only hope for survival is Eden and, even though “normals” are forbidden in Eden, Lanya agrees to take Spaz, Bean, Ryter and Little Face to Eden. Bean recived treatment for her sickness and when she recovers there all forced to leave Eden, accept for Litte Faceand Bean stay. When Ryter and Spaz get back there latch is on fire. Sadly They kill Ryter. And Spaz discovers Billy Bizmo is his father, before they were part of the bangers together. People who steal stuff aroung there latch.

      This book was great! It filled your body with laughter at times, and teared your eyes at times too. My opinion on this book is that this book was really good.Confusing at first but once I started getting into it I loved it. Also don't judge a book by its cover because if i were doing that for this book i wouldn't have chosen it. But now that i actually read it i loved it. I wonder if this is part of a series. If so, ill be sure to read them all.
     
      I would recommend this book to people who like dramas/non-fiction books. Also people that like great endings but at the same time sad. I'm sure whoever reads this book will love it. It will warm there hearts.Also teach them things.I wont foget about this amazing book!

The tree lighting in New York


Rockefeller center chrstmas tree lighting 

              The 2010 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree was lit for the first time on Tuesday, November 30, 2010 with live and taped performances. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a world-wide symbol of the holidays in New York City. The tree is lit with millions of colorful lights and topped off with a cyrstal star. Thousands crowd the sidewalks for the event and hundreds of millions watch the Tree Lighting Ceremony broadcast live across the world.

          Last year I visted this event and it was amazing. All the lights sparkled in your eyes and the christmas music warmed your heart. This expirence was a beautiful one. Millions of people surround you with beautiful smiles on their faces making it hard not to smile and enjoy the lighting of the tree with them. This also makes me wonder how they fill such a big tree with lights? This also makes me think about how close Christmas is, making it even more exciting for me. Im sure I will visit there again sometime !
