Hello, I´m Xiomara.Today I want to tell you about an experience that happened to me at Christmas. Well, We don´t have a specific tradition, but what we do is clean the house. Sometimes we do it on the same day. I mean on the 24th. Then we take out things that we can give away and throw away. That way we just decorate our house. That's what we usually do. But in the year 2016 I remember that day. We had not a traditional Christmas dinner, but we had pizza, hamburger and kfc. That wasn't all, we also had panettone with chocolate. Too much food for one night. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from that day, nor do I have any pictures of the Christmas decorations in my house. But I have pictures from last year with my family at Christmas and some small Christmas decorations. Christmas for me is beautiful because I spend time with my family and we are happy for the birth of Jesus. Besides, we now celebrate it with Danna. She is our mascot and is just one year old....

Hello, today I want to tell you about an experience that happened to me at Christmas. I remember that in the year two thousand and ten, when I was nine years old, something happened to me that I will never forget. My family has the custom of having dinner with the family and celebrating Christmas by watching the fireworks and thanking God.  However, that day I was very worried because it was 10 pm. and my dad, who is a fisherman, was not coming home. He had already gone out for fifteen days at sea, it should be noted that since he leaves we have no communication with him until he returns, because there is no signal at sea. Going back to what I was telling you. I felt very sad because I thought that my father was not going to come back because of the danger of his job. I remember that it was not long before December 25th , and I found myself crying and my family was also very worried. That day I stayed waiting for him at the door of my house, until fortunately my dad called.  A...

My favorite holiday has always been christmas since I got memory because of all the atmosphere you can feel on that days. I also love my birthday, in fact that's my favorite day of the year, but christmas... is the season. I believe in Santa and I still write a letter to him every year and put it in my christmas boot, because here in my family each one has one with his name on it. Obviously I know that Santa, Saint Nicholas, isn't alive yet because he will be very ver very old if he was, but I think that everyone should have someone with them that act as santa for them, not for the gift, for the joy and the feeling instead. That's why other of my traditions when I was little was that on Christmas eve, when we go to sleep the table stayed with a plate of cookies and a glass of milk and other with water for the reindeers. I haven't don't that the last christmas but I still like to decor cookies just like when I was little. I also watch and listen christmas movies or s...

 In my family we have many Christmas traditions since I have memory, is our favorite season and celebration. Is a moment to spend with the whole family, which is not very often because at other times of the year everyone has different plans or different schedules, but we know that in Christmas we will be all together at least once a year. Every year we start the celebration by going to mass with my cousins ​​on December 24 in the afternoon. After that we all meet at my uncle’s house, Manuel, at 9 pm approximately.   We meet to receive the 12 together. Also, we prepare a special dinner. My uncle Susana always bring salad, my uncle Lorena cook the Turkey and pork because not everyone in my family eats Turkey, my mon and I always prepare together smashed potatoes with mozzarella cheese at the oven and apple puree, and my grandmother always bring a dessert. When I was little, before 12 we used to have the tradition of personifying the birth of baby Jesus with all my cousins. I...
