Starting winter break I went to Los Angeles to do some shopping for Christmas with my parents and my little brother. We stayed at some friends house in West Hollywood until the 23rd of December. We came back home and wrapped presents for Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, the 24th, many of my parents friends came over to the house to have some dinner. Around 12 am, my little brother, my cousin, a friend, and I lit up some fireworks. After that, we opened presents and around 3 am everyone was gone. The next day, on Christmas Day, I woke up early to open some presents with my brother that he had gotten from Santa Claus. Christmas this year was full of joy, happiness and presents, hopefully next year will be even better.

In between my winter break I spent most of the time at the beach. There was one day where I went over to a friends house and we tanned at her palapa. Besides that, my parents had some of their friends staying in a house in front of the beach so they wanted to go almost everyday. Also, a friend was visiting from Guadalajara so she wanted to take advantage of the beach. There were other days that were cloudy where I felt like staying home and watching movies without anyone bothering me. In addition, there were other days where I would go to the movies with my parents. I don't think I've ever gone to the beach so much on winter break.
