Christmas Break

It is finally Christmas Break.  Those last 2 days were nightmarish.  Yesterday I went to school, had the read through for A Midsummer Night's Dream, and had swim practice.  Today I went to school, had the second read through, and have a swim meet.  But no school tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Christmas because you get two weeks off of school instead of Thanksgiving break which is 3 days and spring break which is 1 week and fall break which was 4 days.  Wow we have too many breaks.  I am not complaining but compared to European schools we barely go to school.  Well Europeans are dumb so it doesn't matter.
In other news I am in A Midsummer Night's Dream which is awesome because I'm the wall aka Snout and if you've read it you'll understand these peeps.  It's fun so far.  But we still have a whiles to go.
How come in England and other English speaking places (discluding Canada because I don't know anything about Canada) they say Happy Christmas and we say Merry Christmas?  I like Merry Christmas because we say 'Happy' for everything: Happy Independence Day, Happy Easter, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Flag Day, Happy Arbor Day, Happy May Day etc. Is it because we prefer the old English version rather than the newer version? And if so then wouldn't it be the other way around.  This is really bugging me so i'm going to  look it up.  BRB. Ok so chacha says it's because Queen Elizabeth says Merry means drunk so they choose to say happy instead.  But there was this thing and people said "Hey I'm British and say Merry Christmas" so maybe it's a stereotypical thing.  Whatever.  Merry Christmas Happy Christmas.  Whatever floats your boat.
So Happy Holidays and all that.  Here's a shout out to my good friend Rachel.  Hey Rachel! Hi Rachel!  I hope you have a good Christmas.  Also remember to keep the Christ in Christmas!
