What holiday does your family celebrate? What traditions do you have during this time?
My family doesn’t celebrate Christmas, we celebrate something else called Eid! Eid is celebrated by Muslims (My religion) During Eid the younger kids get presents and the older kids get money.
Some traditions me and my family have for when Eid comes are to obviously spend time with family (and I mean our WHOLE family) We make dinner, preferably lamb, and then we open our presents and give out money. When I was little we used to go to this very big apartment and everybody in our family would come. We, as little kids would be very excited, and everybody was, as I remember in the most positive mood ever! I still have to this day the My Little Pony my grandma got me for Eid.
That’s what me and my family do for the holiday!
RINGGGG! My alarm clock went off; I jumped out of bed because today was the day I was waiting for all week. I quickly got dressed, brushed my teeth and did all the other stuff you usually do in the morning and went downstairs. I was so excited that all I ate was an apple; I knew I would pay for that later in the day. After that I got my purse with twenty dollars and a snack and then started to yell “MOM COME DOWNSTAIRS IM GOING TO CASTLE FUN PARK TODAY!”
It was 8:20 by the time we got into the car; it took us 5 minutes before we finally got to my school. I got out of the car and ran towards my classroom. I went inside and saw everybody getting their chairs; I got the queue and did the same. Our teachers told us our buddies were going to come in and play scrabble on the IPads for the morning before we left to castle Fun Park. When my buddy came and we sat down with the IPad I tried not to burst with excitement and blurt that we were going to Castle Fun Park, because I knew my buddy would fell pretty glum if he found out.
After a game of scrabble (which my buddy beat me in) we said goodbye and they left. We waited at our desk until we were told who were going to drive with. I got my driver and we went out to the car. We got in and started driving; we were there before I knew it!
We were told that right when we got there we should turn left inside the building and go inside the Tiki Room. The teachers gave us our cards and me and my friends when to play the Tetris game which we spent all our money on last year. We had $6.00 on our cards, but my friends and I brought more money to fill it up. After A while we went to the bumper cars because we had a free pass. It was so fun except I just spun around in circles. We were walking around when we heard an announcement saying “The Go-Karts are Now Open!” We bolted.
Next thing I knew I was sitting in a green go-kart trying to get my helmet tied. When the lady told us we could go I stepped on the petal and VROOOM! I ended coming in around fifth place.
We came back inside played some more games and then at twelve o’clock we went and at pizza. We came back outside after and just played more games and went on the go-kart one more time. Then unfortunately we had to leave.
In the end It was the most fun I have had in the whole year!
Today was a really fun day! My family and I went skiing on Cypress Mountain where tiny pieces of white fluff fell down.
Everybody woke up in a panic because we didn’t know whether or not the conditions on the mountain were good enough for us to go skiing. After checking the stats every two minutes we finally came to decision. We were going to Cypress! After those words were said you might say it was like Santa’s workshop. Everybody was going around getting there stuff and it was quite organized. After everybody was ready we went downstairs and started packing our stuff into the trunk of the car. My dad and my brother had to get the ski racks onto the car so that we wouldn’t have to put them over our head.
Once everything was packed and everybody was in the car we drove to Tim Horton’s and got breakfast so we wouldn’t go up the mountain hungry. After everyone was nice and full we met up with my uncle who was going to come with us. When he got into the car with us we started to drive to Cypress. I would have slept if I could, but the fact was I was too excited. We started driving higher and higher up the mountain so my ears started to pop! We eventually got to the top and got all our equipment out of the car and got ready.
When we got ready we got in line for the lift. When it was our turn we shuffled our way up to the green line and Boom! The lift came from behind us. As we made our way up the mountain the icy wind whipped my face. Once we came to the top we skied down and repeated the whole cycle again.
After a while we all got tired so we went to the lodge. We all went to the second floor to eat; I got fries, noodle soup, and a cookie. We went and sat down at a table and ate our meal. After everybody was finished we packed all our stuff and headed to the car which happened to be parked not too far away. It turned out to be a very fun day I would enjoy doing it again.
