CHRISTMAS TIME & BEST MOMENTS AT CHRISTMAS

The best moment of Christmas

I think that the best moment of Christmas

time is when all the family join in at home

on New Year’s Eve and, after the dinner,

they eat the grapes and then they dance,sing…

Last year, at Christmas I was with the family

of my mother in a rural house. On New

Year’s Eve, we joined in the living room and

after the dinner we ate the grapes while we

watched the bell striking the 12 peals and the

New Year started. Then we started to sing

and dance and we played different games.

This year I’m going to go to other rural

house with the family of my mother on NewYear’s Eve and I think it’s going to be very

funny.

The best moment at Christmas time

Hi!!

At Christmas

time there are a

lot of good

moments but the

best for me was

on the 5th of

January, during

the Three Wise

Men’s parade. I

participated in it

so I’m going to

tell you why I liked it.

I have participated in it other times but all of them I participated playing the trumpet but

this year was different, I participated riding

on a carriage with two more friends. We

were in the Saba Queen’s float and we threw

sweets to all the children that were in the

streets of Burlada and we threw confetti too.

All the time during the parade we weresitting. All children and their parents asked

for sweets and we gave them and

immediately there was a smile on their faces.

Friends at the school and friends that I meet

on the street were also asking for sweets and

confetti to throw at them.

It was a happy moment because all of the

people (young people) were very happy

shouting at the kings. Melchor, Gaspar and

Baltasar and asking for sweets.When the parade finished we went very

quickly to change clothes and went to

Melchor’s carriage and on it we went to

Hilarion Eslava’s sports center where our

parents were waiting for us.

It was the best moment at Christmas and the

happiest too.

The best moment at Christmas

Let me tell you

about my best

moment at

Christmas.

The day of

Christmas Eve I

went to Pamplona

with my father and

my sister to see the

cavalcade of the

Olentzero. We went




to Pamplona at seven in the evening by bus,

we saw the cavalcade of Olentzero and,

when it finished, we went down to Burlada

walking because the bus was jammed and it

was almost impossible to get on it.

When I arrived in Burlada I went with myfather, my sister, my mum and a friend of

my parents to a bar near my house to drink

something. Me only soft drinks, of course!!

At nine o'clock we went to our house and

had lots of presents. There were presents that

I was not expecting, I liked them a lot.

I opened the presents and there was a Puma

sports sweatshirt of rams 23, the game ‘Al

pie de la letra’, the sims 2 game for the

computer, two jackets, two shirts and a pink phone, I loved all of them.

My sister and my parents also had many

presents.

At ten o’clock I went to the home of my

uncles and my cousin, there was also the

aunt of my father, she is Andrea. My uncle

gave me money to buy something. We

dinned together and we had a great time.

Christmas time!

Hello Primitivo,

I’m going to tell you about my fantastic

Christmas that I have here, in Spain, and

about things linking with it.

All the years when Christmas arrive, we are

very nervous because all of we were waiting

a lot of time to it and it is a fantastic time to

relax of the abundant exams and the long

first quarter of the long course that we have

to pass.

At Christmas my family come to my house

to have dinner, all of it! My aunts, my uncles

and my cousins, and that is fantastic becausethey are very funny and we enjoy it a lot.

My mother is who makes the dinner,

frequently meat and fish, and I and my sister

María set the table, and then we have dinner.

I also put the Christmas ornaments with my

family in all the house, and at the end it is

very beautiful. We put the crib in the hall

and the Christmas tree in the living room.

But we don’t sing any Christmas song

because here in Spain there aren’t a lot of good singers.

In my family we don’t make Christmas

cards, we only make presents, but good

presents, they can be very expensive and are

very special. I think that they aren’t the most

important of the Christmas time as some

guys think, I think that it’s the family

gathering, but the presents aren’t bad… He,

He, He.

The best present that I have ever received forChristmas is a kind of Teddy bear that“Santa Claus” gave me when I was a child.

Actually, it was a beautiful and enormous

dog that I called Santa, but one day my

sister, who was angry at me, broke it with a

knife.

We organise the invisible friend at home on

6th of January, it is very exciting because

your present is a surprise and your invisible

friend too, it is fantastic! I love it!

So this is Christmas in Spain, at least in my

house, and I hope that you like it, for me it

is a fantastic Christmas!

Bye!

Your Spanish friend

The best moment at christmas

For me, the best moment in this Christmas is

really difficult to

choose, because I

had a lot of great

moments...

At first I wanted

to write about an

afternoon in

Pamplona with

Claudia, Nerea

and Leire, some

friends, when we

went to see how

shop windows looked at Christmas and then

we ate hot chocolate in Estafeta street...But there’s a moment that I prefer: the

invisible friend at Irene’s home.

In the middle of November we (my friends

and I) distributed the papers to make the

invisible friend. We were very nervous

because at first we didn’t know what to buy,

for this reason we distributed the papers one

month before.

We were very excited and for me it was very

difficult to choose Loire’s presents, butfinally I foud the perfect present (with

Marina and Irene’s help)

Finally the invisible friend day arrived. We

celebrated it on 29th of December at Irene’s

home, like last year, because she has a really

big house and when we are on the last floor

we don’t disturb her parents.

So we arrived at her home and we prepared

the things to eat, like the chips, and the

drinks. When all was prepared we had towait for Marina Tiscar, because she was

doing something with her horse, so we

started playing "Tabú" until she arrived.

The "Tabú" was really funny: in pairs you

must take a card with four words, then you

must choose one of them and you say other

words and your partner’s work is to get right

the word. But you have a fixed time and

some other words that you can’t say.

We laughed a lot, and we had a nice time

until Marina arrived.

Then we all were sitting down on the floor,

the chairs and in the sofa: Leire, Claudia,

Josune, Nerea, Marina.T, Marina.P, Amaia,

Silvia, Itziar, Maitane, Edurne, Irene and I,

and we started to give the presents with

Irene’s little sister, Marina´s help. As ever,

she started with the presents distribution.

When everyone had her present, we opened

it and I think that is the first time that

everydody was happy with her present.

Then we ate the chips and drank the coca

cola and played "Tabú" again and we helped

to clear Irene’s home.

I think that this is the best moment at

Christmas because in my friends team we’re

always arguing. That day was the best notfor the presents, it was the best because we

were all of us closer and we didn’t argue.

We remembered that we are really good

friends.

The best moment at Christmas

Christmas of 2009-10 have been great, all

the days the family was united and happy.

The best moment at Christmas was on 24th

of December, it’s the day of my birthday so I

had a lot of presents.

At 8 o’clock we went to my grandparents´

home and we waited at the table to start the

dinner.

When all was ready and my grandmother

was on her chair -she was all the night in the

kitchen working-, she said the grace over the

food and all the family started to eat.There was a lot of food, so nobody could eat

the dessert. When we finished all the dinner

my grandmother and my uncle sang typical

Christmas carols with the piano.

Finally all the family was singing. It was a

very beautiful moment.

Christmas Time

Christmas is a

wonderful

celebration in the

end of the year

when we don’thave school and

we can join with

all our family to

celebrate the birth of Jesus (25 of

December).

All years, some days before Christmas time

starts, my family and I prepare the Christmas

tree and the other things of decoration,

because we like it.

Last year on New Year’s Eve we ate a lotand during the dinner we spoke and at

twelve o’clock we turned on the TV and we

watched the peals while we ate the grapes.

And at Christmas time we always give and

receive the presents, I like those moments.

This year I’m going to go with all my

family, on the side of my mother, to a rural

house and we are going to stay there for one

week, we are going to prepare the decoration

and we are going to eat the grapes on NewYear’s Eve and then we are going to dance,

sing…

The rural house is in the north of Navarre

and we are going to play in the fronton, walk

around the mountain, and play with the

snow.

I like joining with my family because I have

many uncles, cousins, aunts… and I enjoy a

lot with them.

I like Christmas time.

Christmas time

Christmas time is

wonderful. During this

time all the streets are

full of bright lights and

decoration.In my home, we put the

Christmas tree and we

decorate it all together.

On Christmas´ Eve, we always go to

Sangüesa. Both the parents of my mother

and the parents of my father live there. So,

on the 24th of December we have dinner

with the family of my father, and on the 25thwe have a meal with the family of my

mother.

In enjoy staying in both places and both

meals are very tasty. But I prefer staying

with the family of my father because they

live in Vitoria and Tarragona and I hardly

ever see them. My mother’s family live in

Navarre and I can see them more often.

On New Year’s Eve some of my aunts and

uncles come to my house. My motherprepared the dinner last year so this year my

uncle will prepare it. Moreover, he is an

excellent chef.

After the dinner we eat the grapes to

celebrate the New Year and then we have a

big party.

I have had a very good time all the years,

and I hope that this year it will be as good as

the others.

Family traditions at Christmas time

Hello!!

I’m going to talk about

the traditions of my

family at Christmas

time. I like this holiday

time because we don’tgo to school and

because I do a lot of

things.

One tradition of that I

always do is put the

Christmas tree and the crib. When I was

younger I put them one week before

Christmas but now I put them one day before

Christmas’ Eve or on this same day in the

morning. The Christmas tree is very

beautiful and under it is where the ThreeWise Men put the presents on the night of

January 5th. The crib hasn’t got a lot of




things only the Virgin Maria, José, Jesus and

the two animals and the Three Wise Men

who are in other place because the don’t at

the crib until the night of January 5.

Now I am going to talk about the dinner we

celebrate in my house on Christmas’ Eve,but before it I go to the Olentzero. The

Olentzero is a celebrity of the Basque

Country and Navarre that means that is

Christmas time and he comes down from the

mountain to give us the presents.

The dinner on Christmas’ Day in my uncle’s

house. The dinner on New Years’ Eve is in

my grandparents’ house and it’s there

because is the birthday of my grandfather.

All years before going there I go toPamplona to see San Silvestre’s race, it is a

popular race of Pamplona where the people

usually run with a costume. I ran it some

years but the children run without costume.

New Year’s dinner in my house and that’s

all about Christmas dinners.

Other tradition is to participate in the Three

Wise Men parade. I have participated in it

for four or five years. The first time I

participated as a dwarf but the rest of theyears I have participated playing the trumpet.After the parade some friends join to make a

“supper”.

And these are the traditions of my family at

Christmas.
