I don’t really have a worst or best Holiday memory because as the years go by, the holidays just don’t seem that exciting for me. 2020 definitely wasn’t my best year, but there were a few good things. One of the good things that happened was that I got my dog who I absolutely love, he’s so sweet and he’s absolutely adorable. However, quarantine was extremely boring for me and extremely hard. I don’t really have any expectations for 2021 mainly because every year, if I have a bad year I think that the next year will be better, but most of the time, it’s not.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been so fun to get a dog, I love dogs too! Great job on your blog!
Deleteyes!! it must be so fun to be getting a dog, especially in the middle of all of this, and same for me i don't have that many expectations for the new year :/ but good blog!
DeleteCongrats on your dog, so lucky I've been wanting one for such a long time. Great blog!
DeleteMy worst holiday memory is from last year. First of all, I moved on my birthday (December 19) from Ontario to Montreal which was already bad enough. Then when we were staying at Holiday Inn my dad’s car with all of our Christmas presents was stolen, along with my winter jacket and a few other sentimental items. So basically I had a cold Christmas with no presents. I’m not going to lie, 2020 was a horrible year for me. It was a whole year of stress. I am hoping that 2021 will be a lot better and more fun, but that will probably never happen with my horrible luck!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks. Im sure this year will be different! Good blog.
DeleteI just learned a new fact(that you moved from Ontario to Montreal), great blog!
DeleteI don't remember much holiday memories for some reason, but I do remember the time we went to my grandmas house for Christmas. I was about 5 or 6 and my sister was 1 or 2, she wasnt walking quite yet. We settled into our room and all of a sudden my little sister gets up and starts walking. My mom, dad and I were shocked because it was like she had done it before, I guess it was a Christmas miracle. I don't think 2021 will be any different from this year. People expect it to get better but it probably won't.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't have many holiday memories that I can remember.
Deleteaw that's such a cute story, very interesting blog!
DeleteI agree when you say 2021 probably won't be much better than 2020.
DeleteMy WORST holiday memory actually happened last year, when right before Christmas break started, I started getting a cold and feeling really sick and my mom as well. And then the day of Christmas I found out that me and my mom had pneumonia, it wasn’t fun, and the rest of my family were able to go have get-togethers with my cousins and grandparents on my dad’s side of the family, while me and my mom sat in our bed shivering and doing nothing. But it was kind of/partly fun….( getting to take naps all day and watch netflix and all ) but we didn’t even get to go shopping on Boxing day, the best part too! 2020 was not what I expected because I thought it would be the best year ( because 20 and 20 ) that’s what I thought until covid and then quarantine happened…. But I really want to have good expectations for the new year of 2021! Let’s all hope for a Christmas miracle. :))
ReplyDeleteI also thought 2020 was going to be the best year because of the double 20. Quarantine was not fun neither was Covid.
DeleteWow i'm so sorry you got pneumonia near the Christmas season. I really hope 2021 is better then this year. I enjoyed reading your blog.
DeleteI really like your thoughts and expectations for 2021, lets hope that it happens
DeleteI don't have a worst holiday memory. Every year around the holidays I have fun. Hopefully I will be able to say the same about this year. I love the holidays for so may reasons. One of my best Holiday memories was last year. I went to my dad side of the family on Christmas eve . Then on Christmas day after opening presents I went to my mom's. Both days were supper fun and the food was delicious. I love the holidays for so may reasons. I hope that 2021 will be a better year and we won't have to quarantine.
ReplyDeleteI hope we don't have to quarantine either! Great blog!
DeleteMy favourite holiday memory is when I got to meet my older cousin for the first time as a surprise. I was 6 years old when my family discovered I had a first cousin that we didn't know about because my uncle had been keeping it for a secret for a while. After he left to go live in Greece. When my uncle came back years later we found out that he had a kid and that's why he went to Greece so secretive and quickly. On Christmas eve my parents had found out that year and asked my cousin to come stay with us for the holidays and my brothers and my cousin instantly became best friends. We had a great Christmas that year. Even though 2020 hasn't been great to all I very much liked taking time off to be with my family cause we got a dog and I had a great summer with my friends I definitely hope this Christmas will be as great as all the others.
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting that you had never even heard or met your cousin before. Great blog!
DeleteI don't remember many holiday memorys but I do always celebrate it with my cousins usually, I also remember how good the food was and how excited I was the day before when I would stay up until like 12 until my mom had to put me in my room and barricade me in so I wouldn't come out of the room. 2020 was a pretty meh year to me to be completly honest, like I didn't like not seeing my friends but that also let me stay inside and not socially interact because I could blame social distancing, because I don't like talking to new people because it makes me anxious.
ReplyDeleteOne of my best memories from the holidays was when me and my cousins ditched the party and snuck food and drinks into my basement and binged watched Christmas movies. 2020 wasn't the best year for me because I couldn't see my friends and my other family which realy sucked. I hope 2021 is better then this year and hopefully the virus will go away because I know we're all tired of it.
ReplyDeleteI love doing things like that with my cousins too! Great blog :)
DeleteI gotta admit that all of my Christmases where the best, the feeling of waking up in the morning and waking up our parents out of bed where so fun. Then we would always go to my grandparents on my moms side for a huge dinner with the whole familly. As much as I would love that this year I know that we can't but I guess virtual wont be that bad. And for 2021 I am just expecting it to be the same hoping that maybe if we keep social distancing properly we can end this soon.
ReplyDeleteMy family had the same tradition of meeting all are family in Ontario which was just my Aunt, Uncle and cousins but it was still fun to do that.
DeleteMy favourite Christmas memory is always my family tradition of spending Christmas Eve at my grandmas house then sleeping there with my whole family and waking up in the morning with a huge spread of breakfast and gifts to open.personally 2020 wasn't the best year for me but my hopes for 2021 are for the covid 19 situation to be figured out a bit and for things to hopefully start feeling a little more normal.
ReplyDeleteYes I also love spending the holidays at my grandparents house! Great blog!
DeleteMy best holiday memory was back in 2018 when I got to go to Florida for my cousin's wedding. Since it was the holidays, flights were pretty expensive so my mom and I went with my grandparents and we had a great time. Since it was in the winter, it was a big change of scene going from Montreal to Miami. It was so beautiful and I love seeing the ocean and palm trees. Other than the beautiful scenery, the wedding was amazing and so much fun! 2020 was not a good year for me, but only recently things started to turn around and get a lot better. I don't have many expectations for 2021 but all I know is that everyone is going to be very excited for the new year!

ReplyDeleteA really different Christmas that I had was when I first got my cat. I got my cat when she was just a baby so she didn’ know very much. That year once my family had put up our tree, we sometimes couldn’t find our cat. We later realized that she was going inside the tree. So the next year after that we didn’t put up any ornaments because the cat was still going in the tree and breaking the ornaments. 2020 is not such a bad year because it’s not like the government has stopped us from celebrating Christmas, just from celebrating it with our relatives. I think that my family is making the most out of this worldwide situation and are still celebrating Christmas even if it will be a little different this year. I don’t know what will happen in 2021 because well I can’t tell the future but I hope that I will at least get to celebrate Christmas with the rest of my family.
ReplyDeleteI love cats, they are so cute
DeleteMy best holiday memory was almost all Easter's because we had a house with a big front and back yard and lots of land because it was in the country so it was fun to explore a lot during Easter to find eggs. I think there is no possible way for me to say that 2020 was a good year even if there was something good that happened this year. There were too many bad things if it's that we went into a pandemic or what happened to black people in America this year and even in Canada. I don't have high expectations for 2021 because probably for most of 2021 we'll be in isolation because they don't find vaccines in just a couple months; it normally takes longer.
ReplyDeleteOne of my worst Christmas memories was when I six or seven years old, I was in my parents bedroom with my brother when they were making dinner and I found all the presents hidden in the closet. We opened them and started playing with them. After twenty minutes my mom came in and found us with all the rappers everywhere. We got in a lot of trouble. 2020 was fun when we were at home and got stay up late and sleep in. I think 2021 will be similar to now where we have have to wear mask, use hand sanitizer and social distance.
ReplyDeleteI have never really had a bad Christmas. It always went relatively well. I do think, however, that 2020 sucks, but not as bad for me. I didn't have to focus on school and could really just relax and enjoy being at home for 6 months. My social life didn't take a hit at all, because I just play videogames with my friends anyway. I think that that was mostly the positive points, but having something new happen every month this year was both annoying and stressful.
ReplyDeleteMy worst Christmas was a while ago, and I don’t remember how many years ago. That Christmas I got Pink eye and I couldn't touch anything the rest of my family did because it is very contagious. I spent most of Christmas with one eye closed. To me 2020 was the worst year ever. I haven’t played DnD in months! My best/only friend changed schools and I can’t even see her on the weekends because of COVID. I have no expectations for 2021 because COVID is so spontaneous anything can happen.
ReplyDeleteI have no holiday memories because I've never really celebrated holidays during the winter, so I can't speak on that. What I CAN speak on however, is how terrible of a year 2020 was. Short story: It wasn't good. Long story: People around us are getting a virus that could kill us and we are helpless to do anything to help. I feel during quarantine my social life takes a huge hit because I'm usually the type of person that prefers to talk to people in real life. I honestly hope 2021 is gonna be better, but chances are its gonna be the same as 2020.
ReplyDeleteOne of my best holiday memories was a few years ago, we were staying in our vacation home and had my cousins come over and one of my cousins is a professional face painter so she brought her supplies over and everyone did face paint…even my grandfather. His was actually the funniest because we turned him into a woman with a wig and everything. It will definitely always be one of my favourite holiday memories. I don’t have high expectations for 2021 considering covid-19 is still quite strong and were still going to be in red zone for awhile. I’m hoping things get better fast though.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of fun! Great blog!
DeleteI've honestly never had a bad Christmas. Every year is special in it's own way. Last year was one of my favorites because my parents had gotten me a hoodie iv'e wanted for a while. I also got a lot closer to my cousins that year, so we had a lot more fun at my uncle's house during lunch. My brother even dressed up as santa! My little cousin started crying because she was scared of him, but she got used to it in the end. I just hope that this year has the same feeling as all of my other Christmas'.
ReplyDeleteMy worst Christmas was last year. It was the 23rd of December and I just got out of the shower and whole left side of my face was bright red. We had to send pictures to my doctor and she said to go to the emergency room. 4hrs later we got the news that I had a flesh eating disease. I had to go for treatment and it was overall a pretty scary experience.
ReplyDeleteI don't celebrate Christmas since Christmas wasn't a big holiday in Vietnam, but last year i got to experience actual Christmas, with my best friend's family. Since their family was big, they decided to do a secret santa but with two people to give gifts. It got to stayed over, and stay up until 5am, then i fell asleep for 30 minutes, before my best friend woke me up. (I practically pulled an all-nighter) We watched Fuller House, and tons of Christmas movies. My parents felt bad so they decided to let me stay at my best friend's house until the 27th. Christmas was so much fun and I wish we weren't in quarantine right now so I can try seeing my relatives since they just came to the country at the beginning of 2020 :(
ReplyDeleteMy best holiday memory is when i was younger I use to have snow ball fights outside with my brother and my dog, Rocky, he would try to catch the snowballs in the air and we would laugh until our stomachs hurt. Then we would go inside and have some hot chocolate. 2020 has not been a great year for me. The new social distancing thing for me is new and I don't like it at all. Not socializing as much as I use to is also hard because I love to social and I'm a social butterfly so I have no choice but to feel this way. In 2021 I know that COVID-19 will still be around an that it won't disappear which sucks but its the truth. 2021 I'm hoping that it gets better. In the summer it will clear up but will rise up again when we hit 2021 winter. I wish that coronavirus would go away but let's hope for the best and that in 3 years it will be next to normal.
