Christmas is my favorite time of year and its finally here! My family and I are planning to go to Florida. Its also going to be my brother’s birthday.When Christmas arrives the lights in the street shimmer so brightly and it looks like the world has lit up and I love when that happens. I also love the smell of ginger cookies and sugar cookies. Every year my family plans to go somewhere or stay with family and have a lovely holiday! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

New years is my most favorite time of year as well. Whenever its New Years me and my family gather around in a park or somewhere else to see the lovely fireworks in the sky. When the fireworks hit the sky, I make a wish. I don’t know why, but I do. My family although don’t do what I do, they just hang out and watch the fireworks quietly. New Years is fun and has always made my day. I love New Years Eve and New Years. When I used to live in Dubai,UAE,I would go next to the Burj-e-Khalifa and watch it there, because it was really close to my house ( maybe a block away). Its really cool there. You should go visit!  HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!

Dear Afghanistan,

As the days passed and the sounds of gun shots got worse you were still alive,

You have held your head high,

NOT LOW,

You’ve been like the stars in the sky for me and

I miss the sounds of the cars beeping and the smell of the sticky jalebi in the streets.

Even though people think wrong about you,

I will always know you as my country,

I know everything was hard for you,

But don’t forget the real you,

I miss the sounds of the people walking and the

sound of butchers sharpening their knives and

the smell of the kebabs cooking in the streets.

I am sorry I left you,

But what could I do,

I still love the taste of your food,

And your incredible naan, and

I still miss you.        

Love, Parniyan
