What we like most about the holidays
What I like best about the holidays is when everyone gets together with holiday spirit. It is always fun to decorate a Christmas tree with the family while listening to Christmas tunes. My family always has a grand feast. I usually stuff my face with turkey. And I love staying up late to watch festive holiday movies. Alexandra Alfieri, Grade 6, Gardenview Elementary School Every year ... my family puts up a Christmas tree and we decorate it. We get together with our family. We play cards. What I enjoy the most is when my dad says “You’re not going to get any presents. You have too much.” My best memory was last year when I got my Xbox. My dad said: “Ohhhh no!” Gianni Di Girolamo, Grade 6 intensive English, École des Cardinaux What I like the most ... is seeing my family. We will decorate a tree just for fun. I just like to visit my cousins, grandparents, aunt, uncle. I have a lot of family parties because we are around 150 people in my family. We don’t have any tradition, but my grandfather is Haitian, so sometimes I think we do Haitian traditions. Tessa St- Laurent, Grade 6 intensive English, École des Cardinaux I spend my holidays with my family in Morocco. We prepare Moroccan food. I spend all my holidays playing with my family and going to the beach. At school, we’re working on a project called Christmas around the world. Mariame Iyakoubi, Grade 6, intensive English, École des Cardinaux The best things about the holidays is to be with my family. And I like the food, too. Antoine Bélanger, Grade 6, Le Manège Elementary School Christmas is my favourite holiday. We decorate our tree. On Christmas Day, we open our gifts and I wish every year that it’s a soccer ball and not underwear and socks. That’s my Christmas! Vanessa Kumar, Grade 5, Michelangelo International I like the Christmas holidays because we go skiing at my uncle’s condo at Mont- Tremblay. We decorate our tree and our house with many lights and palm trees. James Chiappone, Grade 5, Michelangelo International My favourite thing ... is when my family gathers up at my grandmother’s house and we have a big meal. It feels like we are at the most amazing restaurant, with the most amazing food. Alessia Pimentel, Grade 5, Michelangelo International I really like to go see my family in Jonquière and to do activities in the snow with my little brother! I like to eat Christmas cookies in front of the TV, too! Marie- Rose Brûlé, Grade 6 intensive English, Le Manège Elementary School I like getting together with my family. I like to celebrate this holiday. Zackary Forcier, Grade 3, William Latter School I like Christmas, the snow and Santa Claus. I love Christmas because I am with my family. We unwrap presents. I love the snow! Mariane Brochu, Grade 3, William Latter School I like the holidays because I am with my family. They love me and I love them. If my family wasn’t there, I wouldn’t be here. I love snow, ice and Santa Claus. Charlie Dubé, Grade 3, William Latter School During the holidays I like to be with my family and friends. I love to build a snowman with my grandmother.
