My favorite holiday would have to be Christmas. One of our very special traditions is every year my grandparents buy us some cue pajamas, and we always wear them for Christmas morning. I always look forward to it!
Another one of our traditions is we always go looking at Christmas lights, and we usually get hot chocolate to go with.

One of my past favorites holidays traditions is having a bake off with my grandmother. Unfortunately this was the first year that we did not do this, because of my grandmother Alzheimers. But in the winter is when I see my cousin the most, so we pull theses crazy pranks on each other.

My favorite memory happened just a few days ago! I had the wonderful opportunity to sing in Handel's Messiah with my Dad, sisters, and Grandma. Learning the music was difficult but it was worth it. The words in the Messiah are so encouraging and really bring me back to the reason for the season: JESUS!!

One of my favorite holiday memories happened a couple years ago. My family and I saw on the news that my middle school band teacher's group was performing a Christmas concert. This picture was taken at the concert right by one of the several Christmas trees that were there! It was great to see others who I hadn't seen in a long time and meet new people. Also, this was during the time when the water supply in my city got contaminated. 3 days without clean water is no joke!

Hello Everyone,

Aside from reading too long and hibernating, I am a person who enjoys winter and winter break! Unlike some families, my family and I love to stay in San Diego for both winter and summer. My family usually leaves town during the fall or spring break to see different sites. Previously, my family and I have visited Ontario twice, visited Texas Houston, and planned to visit Minneapolis next. However, when winter or summer hits, we usually have family and friend gathers. For example, this late fall, we had my cousin from my dad's side come over from Hawaii and expect more of our relatives to visit. Otherwise, I truly and deeply enjoy being around my family and friends during the winter and summer break.

Life is a weird thing to navigate. We have to adapt every single day because every single day is different. We only have one thing that can combat this. Family and friends. That is what my backbone is because without my family and especially my older sister I would have a life that is a lot harder. Holidays are an amazing reminder of that. Time specifically set apart to spend with the people who mean the most to u. A break from school, and some amazing food. This Picture was in February of 2020 right before Covid hit. We went on a cruise from long beach to the Catalina islands and then to Ensenada as a Christmas present and let me tell you it was better than any present I could have ever got. "Friends don't come around every day but when they do cherish them" Quote by Bradyn Butler.

My favorite holiday memory is that my grandma would take my cousins, my sister, and me (6 girls total) out for a holiday outing every single year, as long as I can remember! We'd go see Christmas lights, or the tree at the Hotel Del Coronado, maybe grab food or a treat somewhere, and always take pictures in Santa hats - we STILL do this yearly!
