English Language has always been the subject I loved to study the most. As a teenager I used to write a lot of essays and poems to improve my skills. Whenever I learnt a new Idiom or a Paraphrase I would be over the moon.
On April the tenth, two thousand I wrote a piece of essay using some of the Paraphrases I learnt in that preceding week.

Last Christmas
I felt like it was the month of Saturdays, as I was waiting for the Christmas to come. It was left with only one week, but unfortunately my father was out on a business trip so we had to do without him. I drew up all my plans and discussed with my sister. I thought I would give my mother a surprise, but my sister upset the apple cart, so I thought of giving up the game.Time passed by. Everyone got ready and packed gifts, decorated the house. Mother baked wonderful Christmas cookies and the place smelled with a wonderful smell.
Couple of hours later, I received a piece of note. It was addressed to me. So I checked through it. But I couldn't make it out. What I could only read was the name. It was Susan my best friend. Within two days I saw Susan in my place. I was surprised. She explained me all in a nutshell and I did not want to make up (to settle a quarrel) and to give a short shift. She taught me many new games that are played in Switzerland, for Christmas.
On the night of Christmas all of us had our dinner together, after prating the God. But Susan wolfed down her meal and went down the stairs to watch television. Our customs and traditions differ from Susan's. My grandparents were upset! After having our dinner we enjoyed the music played by my grandmother, sang Christmas songs and after that we opened up the gift parcels. I got a lovely teddy bear with red shoes. Susan got the parcel I packed for my sister. We spent our times laughing and dancing. I enjoyed last Christmas.
