  1. On Christmas Eve, my family gathers at home to have dinner. We eat a lot of special food: gutters, prawns, meat… and for the desserts we have some biscuits. That night Santa Claus comes and puts presents to us next to the tree. After that we open the presents. Next day we have hot chocolate with biscuits for breakfast. Then we go to my aunt's home and we eat a lot for lunch too.

  3. On my Christmas day I wake up early, because my family and I want to see the Santa’s presents. When we woke up, we open the presents. They are next to the Christmas tree.
    We sometimes have breakfast hot chocolate with churros.
    Then we go to my maternal grandmother for open the presents that Santa has left at home.
    When we see all presents, we go to my paternal grandmother. We have lunch with my uncles, aunts and cousins. We usually have lunch shellfish and cannelloni.
    In the afternoon I am in my house and use for the first time the new presents.

  4. On Christmas Eve, at seven o'clok in the evening we go to my village, and we go to church with my aunt, it is very funny because all the children make a "Belén viviente".
    At dinner time we go to my grandfather's house, we usually eat typical dishes, and for dessert nougats and polvorones. When we finish, we open gifts and then we watch TV.

  7. On Christmas Eve, my brothers and me get up and look for presents. Then we wake our parents and grandmother and we all open presents. The rest of the morning, children play with our presents and adults make a big meal.
    We usually have lunch very late that day because we have to wait for most of my family, but it is fine. I like to spend that especial day with my family.

  11. My Christmas holidays begin very excited. As the first day this Christmas Eve special on that day we go to my grandparents with my family, comes Santa Claus, gifts and leaves us, after dinner and we go home. The next day, my cousins ​​soon come home, make pancakes and then go back to my grandparents' house and make food. We spent the day and it's fun.
    I liked the class because I miss me remember everything good we are at Christmas, with the family together. In each class we learn new words and helps me to listen and speak English. I also learn many things from Cindy as Christmas is that there otherwise. She told us that this year will return to Seattle to spend New Year's Eve, and more things.
