Fav. Christmas Tradition

Christmas is one of my most favorite times of the year. There are many traditions that my family has over the season. One thing that we do is open one present to all the family on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning, we have cinnamon rolls for breakfast. We make homemade pizza for dinner on Christmas Eve. At 6:00 in the morning on Christmas, Cassidy, Emily, and I get up. We go to the tree and wait for mom and dad to get up. Last year my sisters and I started a new tradition. There is this war game called Call of Duty Black Ops 2. We were on a team against the AI players. We went to a 1000 kill limit. We decided to do this every year on every new Call of Duty. This year we will do it on Call of Duty Ghosts. That's a fun game. When we open presents, we choose someone to give everybody their gifts. Then we open our gifts one at a time to see what everybody else got. My favorite tradition of all is opening the presents one at a time. I enjoy seeing what my family got. It makes me happy. That is my favorite Christmas tradition.

Natural Occurence Myth

A myth is a story that is orally passed down from generation to generation. They explain things about the past that are unclear to some people. A natural occurrence is something that happens naturally. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and volcanoes are some natural occurrences. A tsunami happens when an earthquake in the ocean causes a ripple on the surface of the ocean. The ripple slowly moves inland. It gains speed and size. By the time it reaches the land, the ripple has become a giant wave known as a tsunami. Normally, the wave is about 50 feet tall. Sometimes it is smaller or larger. The largest recorded tsunami was 1720 feet tall. It hit Lituya Bay, Alaska on July 9, 1958. Nobody knows the actual way a tsunami is formed. It all started when a bird made the sea god, Moonstury, mad. Moonstury decided to send a giant wave unto the bird. The wave hit the land and killed the bird. The land god, Sunstury, did not like Moonstury on his part of the earth. Thus a huge battle took place between the sea's greatest creature and lands greatest creature. Leviathan versus Behemoth. Both monsters killed each other. There was a great feast in Israel that day. The wave is still imprinted on the Mexico coast. Most people think the imprint was where the meteor hit that killed all the dinosaurs. That is not true. When a tsunami hits somewhere, it is just Moonstury telling Sunstury to stop drying up bodies of water.                                                                                  

My Biggest Time Waster

There are many things that I do to waste time. The biggest one is probably playing board games. Whenever I do not have anything to do, I go up to my room and play a random game. Most of the time I play Axis and Allies. Other times I will play Risk. Even Monopoly, if I feel like playing a game with money involved in it. I especially like to play a mixture of games. I will take teh Axis and Allies pieces and use a Ten Days game as the board. They will battle it out over whatever continent they are on. Playing board games by myself has to be my biggest time waster.
