My dream Christmas vacation would be going on a trip for a week or two with my sisters, mother, grandmother and maybe some of my cousins. First, we would go to Hawaii and stay at a fancy hotel that was already paid for by a lucky drawing we'd had. While we were there we would enjoy the hot weather and go to the beaches to swim and explore. We would also go sightseeing around town for a week.

After that we would go back to the mainland to a city with a good NBA team like Orlando, Florida. If Chicago were there playing Orlando, I'd watch a basketball game in person, and at the end of the game I would go meet the Chicago team and get some autographs. Then we'd go over to Walt Disney World and ride all the rides and do all the fun things there and really have a good time with my family.

On our way home I would stop in Seattle, Washington, or Missoula, Montana, and go to a big fancy snow machine store with money that I'd won and bring a new snow machine home with me.

Two weeks before school started I would travel down to Pilot Station and pick up Anthony Nick Jr. and go downriver with him to the stores at St. Mary's and to visit some of my family and friends. After coming back home, I'd go out for rides and hunting with my friends in Marshall.
