Nick Scaramuzza: Enjoying a Relaxing Winter Break

During winter break,, I went birthday shopping at a tennis store where my coach named Jay helped me pick out a brand new tennis racket. 

Then we went to celebrate my 17th birthday, which is on Dec. 18. While celebrating my birthday, we had our Caruso Family Christmas Party at an ice rink called Ice Works. My dad mom's family sang Happy Birthday to me.

On Christmas Eve, we went to my grandma's house to have our family tradition, which is the Seven Fish dinner, where we have seven different kinds of which. I don't really like the fish, except the shrimp and the scallops wrapped in bacon.

Then on Christmas Day, I got up and opened presents. After that, we went down and said 

Merry Christmas to my grandma and my aunt. Next, we came back home and got ready for my mom's side of the family to come over for Christmas dinner. 

For New Year's Eve, we celebrated my grandfather's 85th birthday. Then my aunt stayed with us until midnight and then slept over at our house. Then on New Year's Day, we woke up and had sticky buns. Then we watched the Twilight Zone marathon and played Risk -- and I won.

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year
