During winter vacation, I went home to the
United States. First, I went to San Diego, California, where my mom and brother
live. The weather was very nice and warm, and we went to the beach. We bought a
Christmas tree and decorated it, and celebrated Christmas Eve together with a
big meal and presents. Then, I went to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to see my dad and
my friends. My dad and I cooked Christmas dinner together. I ate a lot of spicy
Mexican food, which is what I missed the most about home. Then, I went to
Denver, Colorado, to see my friends. We celebrated New Year’s Eve together,
which was so much fun! It snowed a ton while I was in Denver – nearly 20 cm. It
was very cold, but my friends and I still went out to eat, went shopping, and
enjoyed spending time together. It was a great trip and it was very nice to see
my all my friends and family. Now, I am happy to be back in Japan and excited
for what the New Year will bring!
