  1. I am looking forward to seeing my friends and family on Christmas Day! I am hoping to see my Mom, my favorite mother in the world; Dad, the funnest of them all; brother, the one who is the trouble maker; Diana, a friend who is there for me when I fall; Christain, my best guy-friend the world; and Nadime the bestest friend I have ever had. We are going to wake up, eat breakfast, open presents, and then we go to other houses to see our family! After, we will go out to dinner and have the rest of the day to just us! When the day is over, we will talk together and then wait for the next day!

  4. I am looking forward to my presents,I hope I get a lot! My family and friends will be there; maybe even my dog Cupcake. I want the party to be relaxing and fun, because that way if i get tired, i can sleep better. The fun part is playing with my friends! The food is delicious because their are tamales, flan, cake, posole, and Jello. Usually, we open our presents at 12:00am. Two years ago i got clothes, a Karaoke machine, and i forgot the other thing. My mom did a joke on my sister and gave her a Ramon Noodle cup, soda, and salsa. It was very funny, and we took pictures.

  8. I'm looking forward to our family's "Secret Santa." How that works is my mom, brother, and I all go to my cousin JJ's house to pick out the names for "Secret Santa" on the day before Christmas Eve. My aunt has a hat full of all our names written on little pieces of paper, so then she tells all of us to pick one. When we do we go out and buy one present for that person; it has to be something they like. Then on Christmas Eve we go back to my aunts house and give that person their present and watch them open it. I think that the " Secret Santa" idea is awesome and fun. The funnest part is that I has a lot of cousins and aunts, so they know what we like. All my cousins, aunts, and uncles names are: JJ, Omar, Jessica, Anthony, Canesh, Tia Maribel, Tio Placido, Tia Marcela, Tio Bocho, my mom, and me!
