Well, there's Halloween coming up. Most people dress up and either go to parties or door-to-door to get free candy. Usually kids are the ones who go trick-or-treating.

Christmas is in the winter. People celebrate by getting gifts for friends and family. Sometimes they go to parties or eat a huge dinner. Oh, and some people think this guy named Santa Claus brings presents to everyone who's been good that year.

That's right. At least five, probably closer to ten.

It's not just me, either. The others from my 'universe' have done it, too. At least the ones around here.

Ten! That seems like so many.
