Merry Christmas to everyone!

Christmas is my favorite time of the year because of many reasons. Now that I’m studying far away it’s a bit difficult to do it but I used to decorate all my house with pretty things related to christmas and help my mom to make the christmas tree which was always super entertaining. Most of my relatives often visit my house for these type of occasions, and although it can be tiring because of all the cleaning that must be done after that, I really enjoy the time that we can spend together.

If I were to pick one tradition that my family always do for christmas, I would say that we always have a dinner before 12 o’clock. My dad makes  barbecue and we eat it with salad, potatoes and rice, while watching a movie or another interesting thing on TV. After that we wait until midnight in the living room, talking and eating the cookies that my grandmother does. Christmas is definitely a day to eat a lot in my house at least.

I would say that books are my favorite gift to receive and fortunately my brother specially give me a lot of those. I also love so much the clothes and shoes that my mom often gives me for christmas and the useful gifts from my dad. My grandmother gives me money most of the time which I like too. But gifts aren´t very important, I enjoy christmas either way with or without them, but I do think that a beautiful celebration like christmas gets overshadowed by all the advertising that calls for consumerism, putting in the same level love and “buy the most expensive gift you could think of”, so it’s really sad that many people think in that way, but unfortunately the society that we live in is like that so it’s very difficult to change that.

I wish you all the best in this last month in every aspect of your life, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :D
