This Christmas break I'm going to Tyler to see my mom's side of the family. Then I'm going to go duck and hog hunting with my brothers and dad.Other than that I am probably just going to sleep in and hang out with friends. Make a couple bonfires and just have a good time. On Christmas my family will open presents and then go to my grandparents house to 

eat and celebrate there. 

In college I hope to accomplish an associates degree and get a good paying job after that and get an apartment so I can live away from the family. I'm doing college for me and my dad, my dad because I'm thinking about going into his business with him and I need at least an associates degree to get a job there. The characteristics that matter most is your GPA and the grades your made in all your classes in high school. Also all of your test scores such as the SAT or the ACT and your ranking in your class. I will seek my older brothers input and my dad's input because my brother is in college right now and he knows how everything works and my dad's for advice and help. College will help me achieve my goals by helping me get a nice job that pays a decent amount or more.
