Simple paragraph of how to enjoy a winter vacation for school?

I need it for school but don't know what to write.

You can use this one:

For me to enjoy my winter vacation, I need to get a good night's rest before I get awake - to enjoy my day. A good full breakfast will start my day on course, this includes pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon.

If you are a sporty person:

I'm a very athletic person and winter only adds up to the challenge. I've always loved skiing as a child and I still do. Every year, I make sure that I learn a new winter sport or increase my knowledge in a winter sport I'm familiar with. This year, I am planning to learn more about bobsledding, which I find very intriguing.

If you just want to hang around the house:

I don't really like going outside because of the weather, but that does not stop me from enjoying my vacation. Staying inside does not mean I can't get fit. I use my Wii Fit to beat harder exercises. I also do push-ups, sit-ups and I run on our treadmill. Sometimes, I invite my buddies to goof around in the snow. It's child's play but the fun never ceases to amaze me. When we are pretty tired, I sit around and play video games or read a good book. I even try to polish my drawing skills from time to time.
