If I could live anywhere in the world I would love to live in London. Although I've never been there it seems like a place I'd enjoy. London looks so beautiful and full of life. The food,I hear,tastes terrible. But that aside I really appreciate British culture,especially the way they talk.

the best way to celebrate is when all your family comes over and have all kinds of food. then you sit at the dinner table with all of your family members. thats the way my family and i celebrate our holidays. we love to spend time with our family when we don't see them that much. we also like to play games on any holidays.

The perfect way to celebrate the winter season is to drink hot,and make some cookies and set around the fireplace and watch T.V. Then if it was one week away from christmas we would do all of that while putting up the christmas tree. That is what ill do if I we were around the way of the winter holiday.

My perfect way to celebrate the winter holiday is to be with my family. I go to each parents house and spend time with their family. Say on Christmas Eve, I'll go with my dad, and we all eat dinner together, my dad, grandma, me and my aunt. we eat, then wait for a little while and then we open prestents. After that, we eat dessert. On Christmas, I'll go with my mom, and have dinner with my mom, sisters, brother, and me. We eat our breakfast, then we open presents. We talk for awhile then we eat lunch and later that day we eat dinner then dessert. That's how I would describe my perfect holiday season.
