Traditions and Celebrations 1. Thanksgiving In Canada, Canadian people have a wonderful feast of turkey,ham, salad, peas, and cooked garden carrots and for dessert we have pumpkin pie, apple pie, and other kinds of pies. On Thanksgiving Day my friends and family come over and play and party.

The season we celebrate Thanksgiving in is fall. The month is October. The activities we do are rhinoing, biking, and watching fire works. In Leslieville we eat turkey or ham and for dessert we eat apple or pumpkin pie.

We like to celebrate Thanksgiving because we get together with our family. We ate turkey, ham and for dessert we ate pumpkin pie. On Thanksgiving weekend Reed, Carson, and Jake went dirt biking at different peoples' places.

On Thanksgiving we visited and we chatted with friends and family. We had ham and turkey for a meal. For dessert we had cake called Death in Chocolate.

On Friday we needed to catch an airplane to Houston. Then we needed to catch another airplane to Belieze to spend Thanksgiving. We did  snorkeling,  swimming, and fishing.

2. Halloween

I don’t celebrate Halloween but instead I went to the dentist, I went shopping, and then I went to A MOVIE.

On Halloween I celebrated by saying Trick-or-Treat and by going house to house to get candy. The season we celebrate this tradition is in the month of October. Sometimes I also celebrate by watching fire works, giving out candy, and carving pumpkins.

On Halloween night Canadian people [mostly kids] dress up in crazy wacky and scary costumes. Their mom and dad get in the car with the kids. They drive up to a house, the children get out of the car, run up to a house, they knock on the door and scream, "Trick or Treat!" A man or a lady opens the door and gives you candy! That is how you celebrate Halloween.

For Halloween, Canadian people dress up as scary or silly people, then they get a bag, or bucket and their parents guide them house to house and walk home dump their candy on the table and eat candy.

On Halloween I went to school. Then we got our costumes on. I was a nerd. Then we went to the gymnasium and danced. After that we went back to class and played games. My teacher got a golf ball and a spoon there were 3 teams. I was a leader, Carson was a leader and Jake was a leader then we ran across the room with the golf ball in the spoon. Then we played a bowling game there was 6 bottles with water in them and we had a soft dodge ball we then we rolled the ball the do the floor and tried to hit the bottles down. Another game we played is where you put your hand through your leg and hold on to the persons hand behind you and you run down the hallway and run back. The last game we played is where you get a roll of toilet paper and you try to wrap up 1 person in your group with toilet paper. After that we went home and got ready to go trick-or-treating. Then we drive house to house and yell a TRICK-OR-TREAT!!!!!! And we get candy.

On Halloween I went to places to get candy in town. The went to Withrow to get candy.

On Halloween morning my mom freaked out about both of me and Kara’s costumes because they were missing! So I had an idea we could use some of our other costumes. Hay! That’s a good idea said mom, when we got our costumes on mark drove us around to go trick or treating!!


 * On **** Halloween **** went to school and worked for five periods. Then we got our costumes on and then went to the gym and had a parade then we had a dance. After a while we went to the classroom and played games like bowling with a dodge ball and pop bottles and a game were we have to get in a group of three and one person gets wrapped in toilet paper. The other to wrap him and whoever has the least amount of toilet paper wins. After that school was over. At night I got my police costume on and went trick or treating with my brother and his friend and her dad. **

On Christmas day my family and I get up really early and we go and sit around the Christmas tree and then we open presents. We either go biggest to youngest or youngest to biggest.
