__Holiday Parties__ On Christmas day I woke up with excitement and wonder as to what kinds of gifts would be under the sparkling and large christmas tree. I was very happy to have found what I have asked Santa: new clothing, shoes, money, and best of all Fifa 14. I played this amazing soccer game for three hours and never got bored of it. Later that day my family and I went to my sister’s in laws house to celebrate the holiday. My sister's husband’s cousins were there along with their parents and also friends of my sister Abby and her husband Abhishek. I ate these delicious chicken salad sandwiches along with salty tortilla chips. I then went in the basement along with Abby, my brother Warren, Abhishek and his brother Sunny, and their cousins Piyali and Payal. This day was even better because we decided to watch the film, __//Prisoners.//__ The film was probably the best suspense film I’ve ever seen; It is even better than __//Taken.//__  The film featured Hugh Jackman who played as the protagonist who had to go on a search for his kidnapped daughter. The film lasted for three hours, but it was worth the time. If I had the opportunity to watch the film again I would do so. After the film, We went upstairs for dinner which consisted of Bengali curry dishes which were exquisite and delicious. The main dish was lamb curry which was the best lamb I have tasted in my life. Finally, we went around the table and discussed what our resolutions were and mine were: spending quality time with family members, being more assertive in terms of leading myself and school clubs, and working harder in school to achieve the highest grades.  This past Sunday I went to my Uncle’s house for his birthday and also to celebrate the holidays. His children Amu and Amuthan were there and my family friends were there as well. There names are Gajanan, Arujin, Brahavan, Ingu, and Naminathan. As soon as I got there the boys had their deck of cards ready to go. We first played a simple game called signal. This is a partner game and basically one of the team members has to collect four of the same cards regardless of suits and whoever had the four has to use their contrived signal to make the other team member say “cemps.” Amu and I won all three games I went downstairs and greeted all my family friend’s parents. Next, I ate delicious snacks which consisted of chips, cookies, and these tasty and spicy chicken nuggets. The rest of the night we played “ __The Settlers of Catan”.__ This is a very long game which consists of building settlements along boundaries which are called “hexes” and cities. The objective is to obtain ten victory points. At the end of the game, I came in third place. This day ended great; My uncle turned fifty eight and at midnight my friend Brahavn turned seventeen. I wish the holiday would never end, it went away in the blink of an eye.
