If I Were Divan

If I Were Divan

During the past Xmas vacation I went up to Baltimore to spend Xmas Eve with my father. While I was there we went to some shopping malls to shop. Then we went over to a theater to watch some movies. After that we went to a restaurant to get something to eat. Then we went home and watched a movie that we'd rented. Later we talked.

The next day he took me over to the airport and I went back to Columbia to spend Xmas with my mother and sister. The first thing we did was open our presents, then we went to watch the local parade. Afterwards we went over to our friend's house and had dinner with them. Then we played some games and watched TV. Later we went back to the house and sat around and watched a movie and talked.

The next day my father came down with his car and picked me up and brought me to Baltimore. It took us a while to get there but I enjoyed the ride. On our way we stopped to eat and look at the stores. We got home around 9 o'clock and made dinner. After that we watched a movie. The next day we watched some ball games, walked around town and went to the theater. I stayed there for a week with my father, and went to more ball games and movies. I also went out every day exploring the city. I made some friends and we played some basket ball.

I went back home a few days before school started. During those days I hung out with my friends and family and went to the movies, for walks and to check the stores.
