I’m a big fan of Valentine’s Day. It’s one of my favourite days of the year.

I love opening and reading those cards and trying to guess who they’re from.

And last year I got a real valentine, too - you know, from someone who really liked me. That was so romantic.

I don’t know why people still play tricks on April Fool’s Day.

Last year on April first, one of my co-workers played a really horrible trick on our office.

He moved all the stuff on everyone’s desks around, so no one could find what they were looking for.

It was a total waste of time.

Earth Day is really amazing. People spend their time helping each other and nature.

Last year, my book club planted flowers around the kids’ playground in the park.

Then we had a picnic with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

I hope we do something just as special this year!

When I was a kid, we used to surprise my mom every Mother’s Day with breakfast in bed.

We got up early and made a mess in the kitchen, but she always enjoyed it. At least I think she did!

It was a great tradition and we had fun cleaning up the kitchen together.

5

Father’s Day is a special time for me.

It’s great because I get to spend the whole day with my family.

Last year, our whole family got together for a big dinner.

They made my favorite meal, spaghetti and meatballs, and we had ice cream for dessert.

We’re all big talkers, so everyone had funny stories to tell.

I don’t look forward to New Year’s Eve. Those parties are the worst.

There’s way too much food, and you end up eating too much and staying up too late, and you feel terrible the next day.

And the noise! Last year, the people next door had a huge, noisy party that went on till five in the morning!
