My Christmas holidays
(Sent by Cristina Maroto, a student from Madrid, Spain)
Last Christmas my parents, my brother and me I went to my aunt's home to have dinner with them. All Every Christmas we do the same. When we arrived at my aunt's home we helped her to prepare the supper, and after that we sat on the table and started to eat.
I think that it is a nice meeting because when you were a child you had more free time and you can could see your family frequently, but when you grow and start to work you have less free time to share with your family.
That night you can share food and experiences with the rest of the family. It is a pity to not celebrate this type of supper more frequently. I love Christmas because in on that date I always have a little holidays and I hate Christmas because on those days I only eat, eat and eat.
This holiday's Christmas has been different, because I was on a minute tropical island of the Caribbean with my family and some friends.
We wanted an original Christmas holiday and I chose this place for a few days to wind down and relax. It was very hot with very little wind to keep the temperature down. I spent most of my time sunbathing.
Every evening the hotel organised very enjoyable live entertainment. It was very funny. I liked this country a lot but I wouldn't like to live there permanently because there is nothing to do.
Now I am looking for other places to spends my next Christmas holidays.
