Winter "Break" Assignments?

As of now we should know that winter break is the most stress full break off all breaks of the year. It is the time of the year that we get 3 times the work form school work wich depends on the grade level and type of class. I ask myself what happened to the christmas spirit of enjoying our winter break and actually have a winter "break" not winter break assignments. But thats cool with me it lets me be on task and not slack around. Its better than not doing anything. There's some strengths and weaknesses from these winter "breaks" assignment's. The weaknesses will be that it takes most of our winter "break" and we don't get to enjoy our little vacation. In the other hand it helps us exercise our minds, and gain more knowledge, like i said its better than not doing anything, in my perspective these winter break assignments test us how responsible are we and hope me mange time. However "it is the most stressful time of the year" not realy.
