CHRISTMAS

Why does everybody love Christmas?

At this time of the year people are so excited buying lots of presents and most of them seem to be really happy. 

On 24th December it's typical to have dinner with your family and share good moments with the ones you love. In some houses Santa Claus brings presents to the children that have had a good behavior during all the year. That's why on Christmas Day, a lot of boys and girls wake up really early to see what Santa left for them under the Christmas tree.

Christmas Time!

Christmas is celebrated in many countries around the world every year.

Important dates:

24th December :  it's Christmas Eve. It's the most important family gathering of the year. We usually have dinner with our family and Santa Claus (or Father Christmas) comes to our house at night to leave the presents.
25th December: it's Christmas Day. Children and adults open the presents that Santa has left for us. We have lunch with our family.
31th December: it's New year's eve. We have a New Year's Eve dinner with our family and at midnight we eat 12 grapes to welcome the New Year.

The photo on the right shows a tree and a lot of presents underneath. We can see the stockings full of presents hanging from the mantelpiece.

In Spain, the Three Wise Men bring presents on 6th January to the children that have behaved properly.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2012!
