I don´t like Christmas very much - the annoying Christmas carols, the long lines at shops, the SNOW!

Take a look at how americans shop for Christmas presents on Youtube - just type in Black Friday and watch a few videos and you´ll understand!

But my family and I do have a special tradition. Every year, my little sister, mum and aunt and I go to a famous department store called Marshall Fields and have a gourmet meal next to the Tallest Christmas Tree in Chicago. It´s really a special time, and we´ve done it since I was five yaers old!

What about all of oyu? I´m interested in knowing how you celebrate with your families.

I LOVE Christmas for many many reasons, but the most important one is that I celebrate it going, once per year, to a different family's house, and I have my "saint" on December the 26th [last year (I can't remember very well) my father gave me an MP4, and "it was and now, it's one of my best presents for Christmas]!!!
Well, I hope that all of you will enjoy his or her holidays;););)BYE!

I love Christmas, because it's when you can be with all the family, you don't have to go to the high school and also when you receive presents!
Every Christmas I do that:
On Christmas Eve, I go to my grandfather's house. There, we have a big dinner all the family (my parents, cousins, brothers, aunts, uncles, and so on).
On New Year's Eve, I go have dinner with my mother's aunts (they are really old) and my grandmother, at home. After eating the 12 grapes, we go to my grandfather's house to felicitate all the family; and we also phone some cousins from Jerez.
These days are the best, because all the family have fun and laugh together.
The 5th January, at night, all the childs go out to the streets to see the procession of the Three Wise Men. After the procession, everybody go to their houses to see the presents.
The next morning, I go to Albaida's procession.
We haven't got enough time to enjoy, but the little we have, is fantastic.

I wish you all Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and that you'll enjoy these holidays!
Best wishes!

I like Christmas! - I love the good time that I spend with my family & I like very much the presents.

I celebrate Christmas with my family.
The 8th of December we put up the Christmas Tree in our hall.
My father buys some firecrackers for Christmas and I exploit them.
The 24th - Christmas Eve - and the 31st - New Year's Eve - we dinner all together.
The Christmas Eve my cousins and me sing some Christmas Carols. My favorite is "La Marimorena".
The New Year's Eve we eat 12 grapes everyone to celebrate the New Year.
The 5th of January we go to see the Three Wise Men Parade & the 6th of January we receive the Christmas presents.

We do it every year because it's a special tradition in my family.

I wish you all Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and that you'll enjoy these holidays!
Best wishes!
