Every year, my siblings and I team up and try to make houses with graham crackers and glue! It’s really fun (and hard!), and it’s one of my favorite things to do around Christmas.
5. My list: Piano Books!
For Christmas this year, I want a John Schmidt piano book! I have one, but I think getting more would be great.
6. Best Service Project: Habitat for Humanity
One of their projects allows kids starting at age 14 to go and do service in the holidays! Volunteers wrap gifts for those in need. It doesn’t sound like much, but it definitely helps!

Santa wasn’t always shown in red clothes. Coca-Cola actually replaced his purple, blue, and green clothes with red to match the company’s brand!
10. Favorite Memory
My favorite holiday memories are all on Christmas Eve, when my family spends time together and opens a pair of new pajamas to wear! After that, my siblings and I all have a sleepover in the basement.
My first requirement is that it can’t be cramped! I’m not saying that my bedroom would have to be huge, just that I would have a space open enough to where I could do what I wanted. I wouldn’t want to squeeze around huge furniture every time I’m trying to cross the room.
Hello! I’m here today today to talk about one of my favorite fictional character: Katarina (Kat) Bishop, from Heist Society, a book by Ally Carter. I read a lot of books, and watch more movies than I’d like to admit, so picking a single character was so hard for me! I love them all, but they’re not the focus of this post. To start out, Katarina is about fifteen years old and has been raised as a con artist. After deciding she wanted a break from the life of crime, she broke into one of world’s best schools in order to try and live a normal life. It was working out alright, until she gets word that her dad (one of her only living family members) is being accused of theft from a powerful crime boss. Kat has to learn how to work with others and go back to her old ways in order to save her father. I love Kat because she is a determined character who is very smart, and loves her friends and family. She understands the sacrifices she has to make in order to save her family, but she definitely isn’t your typical female protagonist.
