Personal Narrative: My Christmas Break

310 Words2 Pages

On the way to my hunting place I found an old railroad track with bridges to cross the creek. It stretches for about 100 feet beyond my property and extends all the way to Michigan Valley.

My Christmas Break was full of interesting experiences, and these experiences this year just added to how much I like Christmas. Every year I look forward to making our famous slush. I also got to explore parts beyond my woods I’ve never seen before, and I performed on stage at my Grandpa’s barn.
