Christmas starts here felt from mid-November as the start shopping around that time to spruce up the typical Christmas decorations. Also starting to do a lot more cold (which for us is a sign that winter and Christmas are just around the corner).
Students have holidays from about 21 or December 22 through January 8.
yet the true Christmas begins here on 22 December, which is the day on which the draw of the Christmas Lottery. This giveaway is the world's largest (by the money distributed as the impact it has on the entire territory of Spain). Let's say that's the starting gun for Christmas.

My Christmas? Probably like every year I'll spend it with family, by the sea. I will assist at the preparations, for example at cooking or baking Christmas gingerbread. On New Year's Eve we are going to the frozen beach, there to celebrate it and New Year.

Hello

For me, Christmas is time to meet with all the family. Every year all my family is sitting at a big table. We are talking, smiling and eating some Christmas specialities. Everywhere are a Christmas decorations and a big Christmas tree, under it we can find presents for us. Out of thr window is cold winter and snow, but in the house is hot. It's nice when we come back and hot air blows onto our face. I really like it. Christmas is happy for everybody.

Every year I spend Christmas with my family. I really like this nice home atmosphere. The smell of fresh Christmas tree, baked cakes, mushrooms and other smells there are in the air... When the snow falls outside the window looks really magical!
Christmas Eve usually begins at around 18. We sit at the table, eat,sing carols and share gifts :)
