I don't have any special plans for the holidays. We're just going to have a nice family get together and eat some good food! Our family tradition on Christmas is to go to the movie theatre and hopefully this year we'll go watch Sherlock Holmes because I really want to see it. I will probably be celebrating with my friends to bring in the New Year. A bonfire would be cool for New Years!
