Adventure over Winter Break
Winter in Boston starts in late November and ends in March, and there are many events going on in Boston. If you live around Boston, you should know about the experience over winter break in Boston.
The first event was the Boston Tree Lighting event. This happened the first week in December on Boston Common. Many people went to watch a music concert and enjoyed the weather in the evening, followed by fireworks, and ended up with an amazing lighting tree.
The next event was to see the second Avatar movie, Avatar: The Way of Water. I watched the film at the AMC theatre Boston Common, not far from our college. It a 3 hours long with a nice seat in the theatre and was such a nice experience that I couldn’t let go.
Not too far from our college, in the Boston Seaport neighborhood, there is a seasonal market called the Snow Port Market that sells clothes, handicrafts, paintings, jewelry, beauty products, toys, and food. You can even try the food samples, like natural maple syrup from Vermont.
On the 31 of December, we saw the New Year’s Fireworks. This was one of the most notable events in Boston I had ever been to. A walk followed the incredible fireworks down to Copley Square. There were food trucks and small ice castles around, which was awesome and enjoyable.

“Whatever it takes to keep you out of my hair,” Mr. Johnson tells one of the students he’s currently watching.
Her response? “Sir, you are bald.”
Due to the excellent writing and production of Quinta Brunson, the actress who played Janine, the show has attracted incredible talents such as Sheryl Lee Ralph and won many awards going into its second season. The uniqueness of this show is the humor and relatability in the workplace. If you find that shows like the Office, Community, and Parks and Recreation are entertaining, you will like this show.
