I really cannot wait
for winter break this year,
I get to be with family 
and give gifts full of cheer.
I love reading books
while I sit by the fire,
and I like waking up
whenever I desire!
Having a week off
is really such a joy!
It gives some relaxation
for every girl and boy!
I hope you have a great break,
whatever you may do!
I will see you all again
 for school on January 2!
