My winter holiday starts 1st March and ends at 7th. I am waiting it because it starts soon. I will do lots of things on my winter holiday for example skiing and ice skating. I am also going to Lapland. The journey is going to be long over thousand kilometers and it takes over ten hours. Lapland is in northern Finland and there are lots of skiing centers. I think that winter holiday should be longer because you can´t rest enough. Winter holiday should last two weeks or more. I am also going to play new video games on my winter holiday. I bought few of them earlier. Overall I  hope my winter holiday will be fun.

Our winter vacation starts 1st at March and ends at 7th. We do lots of things on our winter vacation. We do sking, ice skating, shopping,  and we go to spa for example. Many Finns goes to Lapland  to downhill ski on winter vacation. Winter vacation is the time of relaxing for many Finns. Also some people go to foreign countries. 

 

I´m glad that we have winter vacation, without it everybody would get stressed of all the school and working. After the vacations everyones sleep pattern is all messed up, and they get late from school and work. This vacation should be longer! Because when it ends everybody is thinking the vacation should be longer and are mad about going back to school or work.

My Christmas
On christmas day, I wake up at 8:00 and start helping my mother with finishing our christmas foods and decorating our house. Our christmas foods usually consist of ham, liver casserole, escalloped potatoes, swede purée, carrot casserole, porridge and alot of candy. :) Our decoration is usually very, very red. Everything from carpets to curtains is red.
At 10:00 a clock my siblings start arriving, at 12:00 everyone has usually arrived. When everyone has arrived we start eating our christmas foods, i usually finish before my parents even start eating, so i always have to wait for an hour before everyone has eaten. After everyone has eaten we go to sauna. After everyone has been to sauna we start opening our gifts. If theres any small children, my father is usually the Santa Claus :P

 

My christmas
Before the christmas we clean the house and decorate the house and make the ham ready for christmas.
we decorate the house with all kinds of christmas stuff like gnomes and angels and stuff like that. 
At the christmas eve we have riceporridge at the morning
and then couple hours later we have christmas sauna
and after that we eat all kind of christmas foods, like fish,liver casselore,
