Christmas!

Hello Readers

I hope all of you had an amazing Christmas. Today I will talk about mine. To start off I  went up to Mt. Washington to go tubing with my sister and her friend Cade. The first couple of runs we all went together. The hill was a lot steeper than I thought. On my first run down the hill by myself, I sped down super fast! That night we hosted a party with all the adults around our neighbourhood. I sat in the living room and watched Home Alone 1, 2, and 3 instead of talking to all the adults. Sadly we did not have the fondue this year because it was very snowy in Langley. My Grandparents couldn’t drive in the snow. We had Christmas in Coquitlam at my Grandma’s. For Christmas I got a Sphereo Ollie and a huge Nerf gun. The next day we went to my nana and pa’s house for Christmas dinner. There were fourteen people for dinner. The next couple of days we did a lot of visiting. In Vancouver it snowed a lot so I played in the snow. Driving home from my uncle’s we saw a car drifting across the freeway. Right when he got straightened out a semi truck zoomed pass. At the end of the holidays my sister flew back to Toronto and she got upgraded to first class!

Newspapers

Hello readers

I want to tell you something else about me. I deliver newspapers around my neighbourhood. I have two routes: the Record, and the Echo. The Echo papers are a lot smaller than the Record. I deliver the Record every Tuesday and Thursday, and I deliver the Echo every Friday. One thing that is very annoying is I deliver the Record on the same days as my soccer practices. I still have to do them every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. I deliver newspapers to 92 houses for both routes. But it is worth it because I earn about one hundred dollars every month. I even have to deliver papers when it is like a blizzard. Each paper I deliver it is worth 7 cents. I sometimes get extra when there are special fliers or catalogues. At Christmas time a lot of people give me extra money or tips. The tips I get each year are about the same as one month of delivering the Record and Echo. With my paper money I am saving up for a new trampoline because I am joining a trampoline class in January.

My Family Christmas Traditions

Hello Viewers

Does your family have Christmas traditions? Well my family has a lot. One of the major ones is having Christmas at my Grandma’s house in Coquitlam because that is were most of our family lives. I really like that tradition because I get to see a lot of my family. Another one is the fondue with my Nana and Pa. A fondue is when you get to cook your own food in oil or broth. My favourite is the cheese dip. My Nana and I always have to try one shrimp each because we hate them. We also have rules. The rules are you can’t have two forks in the same pot at once. You have to use the right forks for the right pots, and put the right foods in the right pots. If you break a rule you get a fon-don’t and if you get three fon-dont’s you don’t get any more food, but we never end up following that rule. My sister usually announces the rules but this year she is in Toronto for her dance so I have to announce the rules this year. My favourite part is the chocolate pot. Once were all done we bring out a chocolate pot. We dip banana, cake, strawberries, raspberries, and orange slices. There are also sprinkles to dip the food in. My favourite is the strawberries. The last tradition is my sister and I get to open one present on Christmas Eve. It is always pyjamas so we can sleep in them on Christmas Eve. I like that tradition because I don’t have pyjamas that fit me around Christmas. What are your family traditions?

The Day The Zombie Ate Me!

Hello readers

Me as a zombie
Me as a zombie

Day ??? in the zombie Apocalypse. Food is running out. We are running out of water and not many people are left except for us. We ran to a cave nearby. All that was there were some sticks and mud. But we had to make the best of it. We started to put together a quick shelter for the night.

BANG! BANG! BANG! All off a sudden lots of zombies started to crowd around our shelter. One zombie broke through the shelter. “We are toast” I said. We ran down the cave. There were two paths. We threw our flashlight down one way and ran down the other. We blocked the cave they ran down with planks to trap them.

We ran outside and  into the town. One member saw a Walmart and wanted to go inside. I said “ yes but be quick”. He took ages. It started getting dark so we ran inside and found him. We all showed him how dark it was. He said we could make a toilet paper fort in Walmart and spend the night. There were no employees to get mad at us so we started. We started a challenge of who could make the best toilet paper fort. Right when we started a zombie walked in. He saw us. Thankfully there was just the one. We showed him the candy  to keep him off our back for a bit. By the way, I won the fort challenge.

The next morning was a lot more relaxing than yesterday. Until we noticed one of our guy’s was missing. He got bitten by a zombie and he turned on us. the zombies started to pour in. We all got bitten by the zombies started to take over the world.

I guess that it is impossible to defeat a zombie apocalypse. Do You have any ideas how you can Survive the zombie apocalypse.
