Winter

            How do you like to spend your winter season?  There are many different events in the winter season.  You can also have fun during the winter.

                        Do you like to sled during the winter?  Sledding can be very fun but dangerous.  Yet, the best activity to do in the snow is go sledding!  Flying down the steep snowy hills, going over superb bumps, and crashing are some ways you can enjoy yourself while sledding.  Sledding can be dangerous in all sorts of ways if you were to think about it.  When your sledding you can zoom down hills, but don’t go to fast or to slow because it might not turn out pretty.  This might be the only activity that you can zoom down hill on your bottom.  Isn’t that just weird.  You can race or do it for fun!  Sledding is the best snow activity!!

                        Do you like to decorate your Christmas tree?  Decorating your tree will make it sparkle so bright it will blind you.  Smash!  That could be the end of an ornament.  That won’t happen if you put the heavier ones on the thicker branches.  When you are done putting the decorations on your tree you can really see how all the decorating effort has paid off.  You would probably tell that it turned into quite a beautiful tree.  It will make your tree shine so bright it will make it look like a sparkling diamond.  I think the real point is so that the presents kids get can be put under something that makes the children more excited.  The tree might not be the best but it will definitely work.  Christmas trees are the best decorations you can have for the holidays.

                        Have you ever seen the ball drop?  Seeing the ball drop is a memory you will never forget.  It has a great view from wherever you are.  When the ball drops it is the New Year.  It will drop at 11:59 pm and, at midnight we ring in the New Year.  The sparkly ball is a great way to start the New Year.  10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,1, Happy New Year!  Right before that ball drop’s you need to make sure to say goodbye to the Year you are in right now.  The sphere that drops will be something you never forget.  It’s a lifetime memory.  It makes excitement inside of you to start the New Year.  This ball drops so fast you will see it for three seconds and that’s it.  The ball is only in New York City, but it is a tradition for everyone.  Watching the ball drop is a great way to celebrate New Years Eve!

                        It’s clear that there are many things to do in the winter.  As you can see you can fly down hills, use many decorations for Christmas trees, and watch the ball drop while we ring in the New Year.
