Christmas decorations

 Christmas

What is Christmas without  christmas decorations?
Christmas decorations are one of the most important things about this time of the year!
They are not only in our houses, they are everywhere. Fashion changes as far as decorations...


      

But some people get crazy with it...


                                         


and at christmas there is also a lot of wondeful food and of course we can´t forget about christmas sweets; such as nougat, shortbread, marzipan...
There´s a typical habit that consists of people leaving  a glass of milk with cookies for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve and for the Three wise men on twelfth night.











 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!




                                                                                      

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!
