my Christmas

On 25th December I celebrated the Christmas day with my family in my grandmum's house, with my cousins, aunts, my uncle, my mum, and my grandmum... and we gave the papers with the names of the persons who we should to make a present for the invisible friend... (some people gets presents on 25th, but I didn't get anything on this day).
On New Year's Eve I stayed with my mum at home and we ate twelve grapes (people say that if you do you'll have much luck on the next year). I am not very good eating a grape for each bell ringing because I must eat them very very fast and usually is impossible for me :D
On 6th January I celebrated the three wise men day with my family too (in my grandmum's house) and I get some presents, one of them, a parfume (I love it). This day we gave the gifts of the invisible friend and so. In the photo there is the 'pessebre' of Blanes.

Hello people!

Now I explain you my Christmas holidays.

In Christmas Eve I have a dinner with my parents and my grandmother. This day people celebrate "Caga Tió", it is wood, and children took it and have presents.

In Christmas Day I have a normal putlock with my parents. Some people celebrate Santa Claus.

In New Year's Eve I went to my oncle's house, and have a funny dinner with all of my family. This night we ate 12 grapes.

In New Year's Day, 1st of January, I have a lunch with all of my family too.

Finally in day 6 of January, here we celebrate "the three kings", the people leave the presents in the three and children open it. The kids think that the three kings give them the presents.

In the photo you can see my Christmas Tree!

See you soon!!

Hi!

The Christmas' holidays I celebrate with my family, you can see in the photo, but this photo is from last year. We celebrate "el Tió" on 24th December in my aunt's house to have dinner. On Christmas' day we go to my house to have lunch. On 31th December is "Fi d'any" and we go with our friends, and the next day we go to my aunt's house too. And now, we are on 5th January, and we celebrate "Els reis" and tomorrow we have a lot of presents.

In the other photo you can see our "Tió".

Hi!!
Here we celebrate "The Kings" and sometimes they give that sweets than you can see at the photo:
Then we eat a "Tortell" that is a kind of cake and inside there are a little king of porcelain and if you have it you are the king and there are a bean too and if you got it you have to pay the "Tortell"
Happy new Year !!!

Some tipical things...

One of the things that I like most of Chrismas is the "Pessebre", it explains the Jesus' born one of the special characters of the "Pessebre" is the "Caganer", people hide it and they hope that other people find it. The 24 we celebrate the "Cagatió" with child, it's a trunk with wooden sticks as legs, wearing a "Barretina" a Catalunya's typical hat, and covered with a blanket. The kids feed it with
fruit peel, then at night they kick it with sticks till they are singing a song, then they take out the blanket and there are some presents sometimes for the old people too. The 24 and the 25 people have lunch with their families. In Catalonia the 26 is "Sant Esteve" and people spend all the day with family too. The 31 I think everybody eats the 12 grapes each one in the last 12 seconds of the year: 1 grape/sec. People have dinner with their families. The 6 of Genuary we celebrate the "Reis", they go from house to house on their camels keeping what people have asked for in their letters, if they have had good behavior all the year. If they have had bad behavior they keep them sweet carbon.


Happy new year everybody! =) Have a nice 2011.
