Halloween

Every year for Halloween I have gone trick-or-treating. I don't really like to dress up but I have to or else I won't get anything. Before I was five, I was a pumpkin, an elephant, and I think I was an M&M once. Since then I have been a baseball head, a baseball player for like 4 years in a row when I was younger, a hockey player twice, I think a hippy twice, and I was a hobo once. I know that I don’t have good costumes but at least I get to go. I dressed up as my favorite baseball player (at the time), Robert Fick. I put a pillow in my shirt even though he wasn’t fat, eye black, and everything else a baseball player would wear.

I used to go with my family until I was 10. We always go down my street, then we get in the car, go to the street and sub division across from us, and sometimes we go to my uncle’s. I have a pretty big street so when we get finished with my street, we empty our pillow cases and go back out. After I go on my street, I go to my friend’s house and go with them. People that don’t go Trick-or-Treating are crazy. You knock on houses and people give you free candy! It is so cool.

I love when I get home, I pour out all of the candy I got then put it in a container in my room for when I want it. I like to see what I got and I trade for the candy I like. My brother likes Almond Joy’s and I don’t like those so I usually trade those. My favorite is Snickers, and Reese’s. A Iot of my chocolate l get, I like to put in the freezer. Snickers are amazing frozen but the gold medal definitely goes to the Reese’s peanut butter cups.

The worst thing to get is anything that isn’t candy. I don’t mind when people give you money, but the usually only give you like 10 cents. It is better than a rock but 10 cents is ridiculous. The only good thing that isn’t candy is pop. One Halloween at one house, they gave me a can of Root Beer. I wish I could’ve drunk it. What happened was that I forgot that I had a root beer in my bag so I swung it around and it accidentally hit a tree. The root beer exploded but all of my candy was still good so that was just a funny story.

The Holidays

This is the most exciting time of the year. It is time for the Holidays! At the end of October Halloween comes, in November is Thanksgiving, in December there is Christmas, and finally barely in January in New Years Day. I like all of them. You get to have fun and eat a lot of stuff.

On the last day of October is Halloween. I like walking around in a costume and going from house to house getting candy. I like dressing up and going with my friends. I go on my street and then I go on the neighborhood across from me and usually go to my uncle’s house. I got a pop one time and it exploded all over my candy. But the candy was in a wrapper so it was still good. I don’t like the really scary houses but I don’t care if it is a little scary.

Then 3 weeks after Halloween comes the Turkey Day, also known as Thanksgiving. I love the feast on Thanksgiving. I eat turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and a whole bunch of other food. We go over my other uncle’s house and stay there all day. We talk, eat, and we of course watch the Thanksgiving football games. The Lions always play of Thanksgiving so we usually watch them but they usually lose (You might’ve guessed that). It is a great time on Thanksgiving Day.

The next month holds the best of the 4, Christmas. Not only do we get presents, but it is the Lord’s birthday. That is why it is so important. On Christmas Eve, we go over my uncle’s house and have a Polish dinner and we open a few presents. It is really fun. For Christmas, we open our presents and have a good breakfast and later we either go over my grandma’s house or we stay at our house. The whole family comes over and we give each other presents and have a great time. We also have a huge meal and finish it off with a birthday cake for Jesus.

On New Years, we go to my dad’s friend’s house and have a party there. We eat a good meal, play games, and definitely watch college football bowl games. We always watch the good bowl game and the Michigan game if they are on. We watch the Winter Classic outdoor hockey game during commercials too. All of the holidays are really fun and I can’t wait for them because they are almost here.

something i dont like

I don’t like that President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. I think that choosing Obama was the stupidest decision. He hasn’t even done peaceful things. He is running a war and not worrying anything about his country. He is worried about world peace but nothing is happening. I think that he is a terrible president. Obama has done nothing for the U.S. We are suffering with a terrible economy, we are in a war and he was busy worrying more about bringing the Olympics to Chicago than fixing the economy. He is the forth president to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Jimmy Carter all won it as well.

It is too early for the president to win. He was nominated two weeks into his presidency! He wasn’t even doing anything within those two weeks. He has been president for 9 months and he has barely done anything. If he worked for the U.S., then I could understand a little bit more why he would’ve won the prize. Or if they would’ve waited until next year when he might have actually did something. The prize should’ve been awarded to somebody who actually deserves it or somebody that actually does something for peace. They did it too early and in my opinion, he definitely does not deserve it.

Obama is also thinking of sending more troops to Afghanistan. He was originally going to make the number 40,000. Now he is thinking of raising the number of troops to Afghanistan by 20,000. He is supposed to be trying to end the war. Instead, he is thinking of making it 60,000 troops in Afghanistan! I think that he needs to end this war as soon as possible.

However, he should be trying to end this war. I think that Obama should be doing whatever he can to end the war. If it takes 60,000 troops, then make it 60,000 troops. It shouldn’t come to that but if it does, just get it over with. There would be so many Americans in Afghanistan. There are already a lot of troops and it would seem like wherever you go, there would be an American soldier if he does send more troops. 60,000 really isn’t a lot compared to the Afghan population but that is still a lot of soldiers and since it is a small country compared to the U.S., It would seem like a lot. I think that Obama should do whatever it takes to end the war.

My sports

I like to play and watch sports. I like to play and watch hockey. I love to play, hit, shoot, and score. It is very fun. I like when I line up to start the game and slash the guy a little bit when the ref isn’t looking to get the guy mad. Then I love to crash the net and stand in front of the net like Tomas Holmstrom. I score a lot of my goals crashing the net. I also like to watch hockey. I am a huge fan of the Detroit Red Wings. My favorite player is Pavel Datsyuk, Chris Osgood, or Nick Lidstrom. I also like Tomas Holmstrom. I was jumping up and down when they won the Stanley Cup in 2008. I was really mad when they lost to the Penguins in 2009 but maybe they can pull through in 2010 and win it all.

I also love to play and watch baseball. It is my favorite sport and my favorite team is the Detroit Tigers. I used to play on a travel team but right now I don’t know what team I am going to play on. I like to play catcher and second base. I like stepping up in the batter’s box and waving my bat a couple times and then staring the pitcher in the face. Then I love it when I get a big hit. I also like rooting for the Tigers. I was so happy when they made the playoffs for the first time in my lifetime in 2006. I was disappointed when they lost in the World Series but I was still happy that they made it that far. This year they made the playoffs again! So I am hoping for a similar or better result. Hopefully they can do it.

I’m not very good at playing football but I love to watch it. I like college football more than professional football. My favorite college team is the Michigan Wolverines. Last year they didn’t do so good, they only went 3-9 but they won a trophy. This year, they are 4-0 and they are doing great. I like the Detroit Lions too. They did horrible last year and went 0-16, but this year, they won! They are 1-2 which is already better than the previous years. Hopefully both teams can keep winning. Hopefully all of these teams can keep winning. I dont like Michigan State that was just in the picture.
