My Christmas and New Year
My Christmas and New Year

It’s the day before Christmas! I woke up full with Christmas Spirit. My family and me gather around and decorate our house with Christmas wreath, mistletoe, Christmas stockings, and especially the Christmas tree, which is decorated again with beautiful Christmas tree ornaments, Christmas light and the star on top. We stayed at home all day until the evening because it took us a quite long time to decorate the whole house. Then we prepare to go to the Church for the Midnight Mass in the Christmas Eve. We’re going to celebrate the birth of Jesus! So at the Church, we pray and praising Him by singing Christmas Carols. I’m so excited that tomorrow is Christmas! So when we get back, I slept early so that I can have enough energy for tomorrow.

I had a really weird dream. It’s about Santa Claus! I used to believe that Santa Claus, the huge man with a big beard who travels around with his sleigh and magic reindeers and delivers presents to children, which are made by the elves in his workshop, really exist. But actually our parents are the one who put the presents under the Christmas tree.

But anyway, then I go to the mall with my mom to shop, because there’s a huge sale going on there. We directly go back to our house, because grandma is going to bake us her special Christmas treats! But my favorite of all is her gingerbread cookies. Mom is also cooking with grandma for our Christmas dinner! The foods are delicious! After eating, we gather around near the fireplace and opening Christmas presents from each other. We also tell Christmas stories while eating grandma’s cookies. But eventually we all have to sleep, and that’s the end of how I spend my Christmas.

But we all have to prepare again for New Year’s Eve! So we bought fireworks, groceries, party hats, New Year’s trumpet, new clothes, and drinks. We are going to do a barbeque at my uncle’s house. All the members of my huge family are going to be there, so I can’t wait for it.

There is the myth about Santa Clause for the kids to believe that he brings gifts for Christmas which leads for the children to leave milk for Santa Clause.

    The holiday tradition for christmas in my family starts on Christmas eve, since I have little brother and sisters we bake cookies for santa and set the milk out and we even put reindoor food out! (It's glitter and trail mix) When me and my siblings have finally fell asleep, my parents put out nthe gifts they don't wrap the ones from santa so it looks more realistic! Anyways, early in the morning we wake up and see the gifts from santa, then we open the ones from our parents. After our presents have been opened and the mess from all the wrapping paper and open boxes are cleaned up we go to the waffle house and chow down! Then we get together with our whole family and have christmas dinner and exchange presents. I love christmas with my family, not only because of the gifts but because we don't get together as much as we should!…

    Falling asleep the Christmas eve night was always hard for me, I constantly would wake up throughout the night as if I woke up and it would be the next day and bright as can be. But if only right, when I woke up it was still dark out, so I would try so hard to fall asleep. When the next day finally hit, I was so happy as if it was the first time I ever received a gift from my mother. Before the gift giving my mom would make a wonderful breakfast such as pancakes, eggs, and bacon. The aroma that filled the house woke everyone else from their sleep. When everyone was in the dining room, we all would say Merry Christmas and begin eating, after we were all done we would all rush to the Christmas tree and find a seat. My mom would give each of us one present at a time and we would open it. My mom loved watching our faces when we opened our gifts that she would take pictures of us. Soon after I finished my presents I would run to the shower and get ready because there is another person I love to see, my dad.…

    I would hand each person a cup with 12 grapes and apple cider because it´s a tradition we always do or what I tend to keep since I´m basically the only one who believes in it. We eat the same food and when its New Years we then eat our grapes, say our wishes and we hug each other and say,¨Feliz Anos Nuevo¨ and our parents would say ¨Te amo.¨ Later after all the hugging, we do what we were doing and hang out with our cousins because it´s only in special occasions when they come. It´s also a tradition to celebrate Los Tres Reyes Magos.…

    During Christmas, my mom makes either pozole or tamales. This year she made pozole. It was really good and it had a good taste because my mom added a lot of red chiles. She either buys soda or makes ponche served hot, because of the weather we have during this time. We stay up until midnight and then we open our presents. Sometimes before its midnight, like around 8 or 9, we go to my aunts house for an hour or two and they give my family and I some presents which they want us to open early so we do. I sometimes make or buy cookies and give some to my cousins and my aunt. Then we go home around 10 or 11 and we stay up until midnight where we open out…

    Since Christmas is coming, I go to the Internet and find that there are several similarities concerning Christmas celebration in 18th Century England and China Today. Though in different ages and different places, Christmas is a big festival in a year under both circumstances. For Christmas dinner, today Chinese people eat roast turkey, plum pudding and the like as Englanders in 18th Century did. The first Christmas card was designed in 1833. Though before the introduction of the penny post in 1840 it would not have been feasible for ordinary people to send cards because of the cost of postage, by the 1860s Christmas cards were very popular in England. Nowadays in China, sending cards to each other still prevails among young people. Besides, Christmas songs like Jingo Bells can be heard here and there in both China today and 18th Century England.…
