  My Covid Christmas

  Don't get me started on Christmas. It was good but... stressful. It's a tradition for my family to go to Mammoth Mountain to ski and snowboard for the week of Christmas. It's always so so so much fun with all the snow but this year there was barely any snow! We thought cause of covid not so many people would be there and with there being little snow but THERE WAS A GOOD PLENTY OF PEOPLE! Since everything was closed we rented a condo from a family friend of ours and we arrive to the place and we find an orange envelope taped on the door! So we get inside, unload everything, and we open the envelope thinking it was from her to us. We find papers of a fines for the owner because they previous people who rented it were too loud and I guess it wasn't the first time it happened. People reported her condo and they ended up getting fined 1,000 dollars! It also said on another sheet of paper that she now can't have anyone renting out the condo because of traveling purposes. So, we had to stay undiscovered. We couldn't be seen by anyone that lived there because we might've gotten kicked out! So, for the rest of the week we had to stay silent. I felt like Anne Frank for Petes sake because we had to whisper. Finally when it came Christmas Day, we opened presents and everyday we went on the slopes so it was worth it in the end.

  Quarantine Life

  Two months into quarantine can take a lot of things away from us. Anne Frank had to hide from the Nazis by living a silent life. But we have the opportunity to do a variety of things. We may not always be able to go out on the streets or visit a friend or family member, but most of us do have a backyard. Nature is the foundation of life which I have always had a fascination for. So I set up my backyard and decided to explore this small world more frequently. There is always something to do in life, and it doesn’t have to be video gaming on the Xbox or binge watching Netflix.
