First of all, I went to the Christmas parade with Brazilian friends. It is a traditional event called “The Original Santa Claus Parade” and has a history of 115 years. There were some players of musicians, clowns, and many kinds of Christmas characters such as Santa Claus and reindeer. Here is one of the pictures from the Christmas parade. I was very excited to see it.

 At the beginning of this month, my host family put up a Christmas tree and I decorated the tree as well. The Christmas presents, which are under the tree, will be opened by the whole family on the 25th. 

 In addition to this, I had a Christmas party at the University of Toronto. There were many activities, and my friends and I made a gingerbread house together. It is one of the customs at Christmas, and the house is made of ginger cookies. We can decorate it as we like in many ways. Also, I had an event this week. Here is one of the pictures.

 Regarding winter sports, I went skiing with my Korean friends. As you can see in the last report I wrote, we can enjoy skiing in front of Nathan Phillips.

I hope you can enjoy Christmas and the New Year.
