Meet Tom
How old are you?
Six.

Christmas.

Vacation to Aruba in the Caribbean Sea.

Summer, because I can go on vacation at the beach.
Meet Mikayla
How old are you?
Six.
What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Spending time and playing games with family.
What are you looking forward to doing over your winter break?
I’m looking forward to building a gingerbread house and playing in the snow.
If you could build the ultimate snowman, what would it look like?

What is your favorite comfort food?
Pancit Canton and Ramen.
Do you like the cold, or do you wish it was summer all year long—and why?

Meet Ander

I am seven.
What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Having a picnic under the Christmas tree.
What are you looking forward to doing over your winter break?
Hanging out on my bed and snuggling with my stuffies.
If you could build the ultimate snowman, what would it look like?
It’s hard to say. It would probably have 200 layers of snowballs built straight up, 20 eyes, 10 arms, and 3 noses. Like a monster snowman.
What is your favorite comfort food?
Tomato soup.
Do you like the cold, or do you wish it was summer all year long—and why?
I like the winter because you can’t build a snowman in the summer, unless you were at the beach—and then it would be a sandman.
Meet Ava

I am seven.
What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Decorating for Christmas.
What are you looking forward to doing over your winter break?
Christmas Day and opening presents.
If you could build the ultimate snowman, what would it look like?
The perfect snowman would have a slide from the top to the bottom. He also has button eyes, a carrot nose, a scarf, and a top hat.
What is your favorite comfort food?
Anything that’s good to snuggle up with, like hot chocolate and candy canes.
Do you like the cold, or do you wish it was summer all year long—and why?
I like the cold because you can snuggle next to the fireplace after playing outside in the snow.

I’m nine and a half.

A 20 foot traditional snowman with coal for his eyes and mouth, a giant carrot for a nose, a huge top hat, a tablecloth for a scarf, and a giant sweater!

Mac and cheese.
