Christmas

In my opinion, Christmas is a happy festival; we sing Galician songs every night. The best time is Christmas Eve, all the family have dinner together and then we launch the firecrackers we talk until everybody goes to bed.

Christmas!

I love this time of the year because I am with my family,who I haven't seen for months, and it is the season of the gifts.These dates are to spend with the family . Part of my my family comes from Uruguay ,we go to my grandmother's to take the gifts that they left us there.
We also visit my grandmother from Ponteareas to celebrate New Year's Eve. I always have a great time when I am at my grandmother's because my brother and I usually win some prizes; besides, it's my dad's birthday. Well this is what I do at Christmas , I hope you'll have a very good time too.



Merry Christmas Elvira!

Christmas!

Christmas is a very important time for me. My whole family meet only on those dates and we have a good time.I am very happy at Christmas.
My favourite celebration is the Three Wise Men night and  Christmas Eve, when Santa Claus arrives, because I give presents to the members of the family and they give presents to me.
My sister Lara and my cousin Sabela enjoy these celebrations.
Finally, I like celebrating the end of the year.
I eat twelve grapes and I always choke. When the strokes finish I drink champagne and lemon sherbet.
Then, I wish  my family a happy new year.
This night is very exciting.



I wish you a merry Chirstmas and a happy new year Elvira!

Christmas

In Christmas,most  people are happy because they can be with their family if they are out of the country, but for young people,there are other two reasons to be happy.
Kids are happy because they are going to get presents (mostly toys).
Young people don't have to go to school and they can relax and be with their friends.
lChristmas is not a happy time only for teenagers and kids,  adults can also relax because they don't have to work, and they can be in family. On Christmas Eve, all the family have dinner together and they can talk and laugh, and eat special food that they normally don't eat, like shellfish or turkey. In Spain, this food is really scarce to get  and eat on an ordinary day.

Christmas
At Christmas people are happy because it is the end of a year and the beginning of the new year. When the clock strikes twelve we eat twelve grapes. Then we congratulate the family and friends, and make a party with fireworks, confetti, whistles, etc. We also give presents to the family and friends. The sixth day of january my family and I prepare dinner. This Christmas I hope to have a very good time with my family and my friends. HAPPY CHRISTMAS. Denis Barros Caballero4º Anº 4

Hello everybody!
Christmas is the best time of year in my opinion, because I meet all the family, I receive presents from everybody and these days are happy days. On Christmas Eve all the family meet and talk about anecdotes that occurred a long time ago. We meet at my grandmother's house, where we eat seafood and meat and some fish, but not too much. We also eat all kinds of desserts, cakes, chocolate cakes ... Before all that, the men of the family go for a walk around the house while the women and the children make dinner. After the typical meal my parents and I go home and there, they give me my presents, the best time of all night! In conclusion, I think that Christmas is a time to meet the family; it is go cold and the people spend lots of money, but it's the best week in the year! Merry Christmas Elvira!

Christmas begins!


I love staying up late and look at the lights in the streets at Christmas, the streets are very pretty.


At this season we can be relaxed, and stay with our family and friends.
At Christmas Eve I stay with my family, we dinner at my uncle‘s house, my uncle makes special food.Then, my dad disguises himsel a Santa Claus and he gives us the presents. I love seeing my little cousin's face when he looks at Santa. He always says: always comes Santa comes, but the three wise men never come.


At the end of the year, I have dinner with my family at my grandfather’s house. We eat the twelve grapes, and afterwards we look at the fireworks.


I wish you a merry Christmas, Elvira.

Christmas

At Christmas most people are very happy but poor people aren’t happy at this time. First, it’s winter, so it’s cold and they live in the street or in ruined houses. They see people having dinner with their families, giving presents, adorning their houses and spending a lot of money; while they try hard to obtain money to eat. We should think that while we are very happy, there are other people that aren’t having a good time. The best present for those people is a family and a home.

Conclusion: If Santa Claus exists, why poor people don’t get their presents?

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to everybody.

Christmas!


I like very much Christmas!

Christmas is my favourite season,
at Christmas eve, my maternal family gather, it's very funny. After dinner, my sister is always very impatient to know if Santa Claus the has left presents under the christmas tree.
In New Year's Eve, my paternal family gather, all my family eat the grapes, but I don't eat them because I hate them.

I also like Christmas because the streets are very decorated and because of the family dinners.

Merry Christmas Elvira!

CHRISTMAS

At Christmas my family meet for dinner. This year I have to disguise myself as Santa Claus because my nephew is very little and he believes in Christmas. I don’t like Christmas, the weather is very cold and you can only see ads on. We don’t have Christmas tree this year, my family don’t like Christmas. I would like to travel to the Caribbean with them and go to the beach in holydays.

But not everything is bad. I like the rain and the presents, my nephews are very funny and I like being with my brothers.

Happy Christmas!!

Christmas

At Christmas Eve we throw a great party with a lot of music, food, karaoke and dance.


The little people of the house wait impatiently for Santa Claus and his presents. It's a great night, but the greatest party is in New Year´s Eve. At twelve o´clock p.m. we eat twelve grapes, but I never eat all the grapes. After the grapes We go to the street, in the street we throw firecrackers for an hour. Later, we dance "sevillanas" for hours, when we are tired we take the karaoke and we sing all night.

It´s the best date of the year.

Christmas!

Christmas is the time of the year that I like most.

We all gather together at Christmas; my whole family in my grandmother's
house for dinner and being all together.

At the end of the year we are all together again but in my house,
to take the grapes together.I don't eat grapes because I don't
like them. But I have a great time anyway. there's always someone who is about to choke or who hasn't got time to eat all the grapes.


On January 6th there is a tradition in my house,the one who finds a little surprise
in his piece of cake has to sing.

This is the summary of my christmas.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas!


Christmas is my favorite season. All fields are white,
the streets decorated with lights, Christmas carols sound,
I meet part of my family that live far away.. but the bad thing about Christmas is that it is very cold and you always have to wear warm clothes.

At Christmas and New Year's Eve we have dinner with my mother' s family
and on January 6th. with my father's family .

These days at Christmas are the best because I am with my cousins, play,

laugh and the best thing is when we open the presents.

The trouble is that after the day when we open the gifts we have to start school .





Merry Christmas Elvira!

Christmas:

Christmas is the most special date of the year for all the famlies all around the world. This is because it is more than a celebration, it is also a reason to meet all the family and spend this holiday time together,for the kids it is one of the best seasons because Father Christmas comes with presents to everyone who has been good along the year. The New Year begins with a lot of parties.People spend those holidays in the the snow with their kids to relax and break the routine.

Christmas


Christmas is a winter season. Families usually meet and spend Christmas together, they prepare dinners, family meals, etc. Here, in Spain, the typical Christmas dinner is sea food, some kind of meat as turkey or beef. Moreover, there are typical sweets on these dates such as “turron” or “polvorones”. If Christmas is important to the kids, they are looking forward to the visit of the Three Wise Men and Father Christmas. From my point of view, Christmas is a wonderful date. You can have a great time with your family and there are big parties in “New Year's Eve” or on January 6th.;on the other hand, the weather is the main disadvantage,it is too cold.
Thanks Nati!

Goodbye!
