What is home?

Home can be anything you want it to be. But my home is the perfect place for me. My family and I eat supper around the table. Home reminds me and my sister of the beautiful sunset. Home can be anything you want it to be. Like the beach can be your home. Maybe the sunset reminds you of your home. At home, I like drinking hot chocolate in front of the fireplace. After that, I have to go to bed. I snuggle up in my blanket and feel warm and cozy. In the morning, I have breakfast, and after that I play in the snow. The cold snow reminds me of the frosted window in my living room. The next day I go to school. My friends remind me of my family. Your friends can be your family, too. After school, my mom picks me up from school and she says we are going to see my grandparents at home. My sister is really excited. Every time my nana comes over to my house she gives me presents. I always love the beautiful wrapping paper. I always get something special like jewelry. And the next day my grandparents go. I go to school the next day, again my friends remind me of my family. And then after school, I go to my warm home. That is what home means to me!
