My Favorite Time of Year
MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR
My favorite time of the year is naturally the time when I have the most fun. To me, that time of the year falls during the December holidays, or rather, it starts during the last term of school.

It may sound strange of me to include the period of examinations. But I like the way teachers leave us, students, by ourselves to do our own revision. There is hardly any homework to be done but there is a lot of studying to take up our time. Finally, when the examinations are over, we can all heave a joyful sigh of relief and look forward to the seemingly eternal holidays stretching out before us. Just before school breaks up for the holidays, there are a host of post-examination activities, among which is mass dancing in the school hall. This is something I enjoy very much as I get to dance to the newest pop music with all my friends. The opportunity to “break-free” from serious activities of school and to sing and dance there is a truly welcome event.

The last day of school comes and goes and the holidays start. The first thing I do is to go to the library and borrow as many books as possible to fill my holidays. I simply love reading book after book without having to worry about putting aside time for schoolwork. I make it a habit to read books of a particular author each holiday.

Within the second week of the holidays my birthday arrives, I enjoy helping my mother prepare my favorite food for my birthday. I do not have big birthday parties. My birthday is celebrated within the family and I eat all my favorite food, with several helpings. Of course, I enjoy receiving presents and birthday cards from family members and friends.

December is cool in Singapore and that is one reason why I appreciate the month so much. I do not like hot sunny.

Christmas also makes the season all the more exciting. It would be impossible for me to sit at home and just read when so much is going on outside. Therefore, my friends and I take trips to

    American Author Zane Gray once stated “I hate birthdays.” Perhaps he said this because he has had a bad experience with birthdays. Maybe he simply doesn’t like celebrating something as frivolous as a birthday. Personally, I concur with Mr. Gray’s statement, I too, hate birthdays. Even though the vast majority of the population enjoy their birthday and most likely consider it their favorite holiday, birthdays do not appeal to me however because of, my past natal day experiences, the annoyance of the annual overhyped celebrations, and my fear of being disappointed again.…

    Christmas brings out a certain joy in me. Seeing the same enthusiasm in others makes me realize how wonderful the season is.

    For many people. the months December through February create a vision of happiness and holiday cheer. The thought of all the warm Christmas cookies you and your mom would make, or the pine sweet smell of your just brought home tree, you, already prepared with your basket of ornaments, dusty from being in your basement all year long. The hope of a new year, of new beginnings, of fresh snow, and coming inside from the cold to sit by the burning fire with your favorite book. Thinking of these months can stir up a great deal of memories, and for many, these memories are wonderful. For myself, they always have been. December was a symbol of happiness for me. My family would travel to come to St. Louis, we would routinely follow Christmas traditions from years before, and love was widely spread. However, last December morphed this tremendous enjoyment I got out of these winter months.…

    To begin, my favorite season is fall because of Halloween. Carving pumpkins when it is Halloween is fun to do with family and friends. Working together to take the seeds out, and then we carve the pumpkins, and at last we all put our candles in the middle and looking at everyone else's. I love Trick or Treating. Something to do with family and friends, getting candy, and meeting new people around the neighborhood, and seeing all the creative costumes that people wear! The decorations are fun to look at. All of the scary monsters, and robots, all the black and orange colored lights, and the scary and terrifying haunted…

    Some people say, "Your birthday isn't a holiday." I am still to make up my mind. If it is, I really enjoy it. I normally have some friends over and we eat cup cakes during the hours of one, two and three. Then my grandparents come over and we eat the poppiseed cake my mom makes. Some years we watch a movie, other times we have other cousins over.…

    What’s your favorite season? Mine is for sure fall. I love the chilly weather fall brings. My reasoning for liking the chilly weather is because I enjoy getting to wear my Uggs, fuzzy socks, scarves , and sweatshirts. Dressing up for fall is so much fun!Another cool thing about the awesome season is football games, scary movies, haunted house, leafs, candles, pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin patches, and many more. Every morning I make up happy knowing I get to drink a nice, warm cup of coffee without sweating to death from the summer heat. I enjoy summer too but fall will be my all time favorite! I know it sounds crazy that someone can be so into one season, but what can I say? It’s the best! Being able to open your home windows and feel that…
