First, where I would want to spend my Christmas break is Colorado Springs, because of how it snows and the fun time I would have over there since there are a ton of eating spots to go from. Secondly, I would go to bowling alleys and I would want to go to a restaurant because they have a lot of good restaurants out in Colorado. Third, I would have the opportunity to go and buy some gifts for my family and for myself because never leave a girl out on gifts, but I would also give my siblings an experience out in Dave & Busters because they need a little fun, but I would give my Dad and my stepmom a card for a restaurant because they barely go out to eat and Pho is really good, we all like it there it’s our favourite restaurant. I would want my own skateboard for Christmas because skates get a little tiring sometimes, I would also like some baggy clothes and green hair dye because I want to get baggier clothes and I also would want a green IPhone case only because it would match my hair and I would need a new case. I feel like I would enjoy Christmas break because we would enjoy ourselves and have a good jolly Christmas with all of our family.
If we had unlimited money I would go all over the United States and go to Puerto Rico with my bestie Jovniel. I would also go shopping, buy my own mini house, pay for my collage, pay for my parents bills and pay for my sisters collage as my Christmas present. I would also pay for my Disneyland ticket and do whatever I want with the money I have. I would also save some money so I wont spend it all but that’s what I would do with unlimited money.
If I had the chance to go on my dream vacation during Christmas break, I would choose to go to popualar tourists area in Japan. There are many things I’ve always wanted to do there, like check out their arcades and have the experience of going into one of their bullet trains. It was always a fixation I’ve had since I was little. Things I would like to enjoy there is their sports and I would hope to visit Mount Fuji. For Christmas, I would like to buy some souvenirs, like snacks, gachapon toys, and Japanese-exclusive games/consoles that I can have fun with while also bragging to my friends about it. I would give others many different things, like stationery, snacks, and some washing paper that I hope they enjoy, since they are uncommon in the United States. If I actually went on this vacation, I would feel happy, making the Christmas break the best. I would be ecstatic during the trip, but once the trip is over, then suddenly my dream break wouldn’t feel as fun as it used to in Japan. To conclude, my dream vacation to go on during Christmas break is Japan because I would like to see their culture and food.

I would go to my cousins house from my dads side for Christmas. This location is important to me because seeing family, like my cousins, are important to me. I rarely see my cousins and there really special to me. While I’m there, my family from my dads side would most definitely be there. My sister would bring activities to play, and my aunties and uncles would bring food. We would play board games like “Guess Who” or “Monopoly Go.” Plus card games, and eat lots of lumpia. Lumpia is a Filipino dish that contains a savory mix of ground meat, chopped vegetables (carrots, onions, cabbage, celery), and garlic, ginger, all seasoned with soy sauce and other spices, wrapped in thin wrappers, and deep-fried for a crispy finish. There would be other foods but I like lumpia the best. All I would really want for Christmas is a mini camera (for memories), clothes (street style), and stuffed animals (I just REALLY love stuffed animals), but I would be grateful for anything. This experience would make me feel grateful for what I have and loved.
