Last Christmas:

Hello!!

My holiday was fantastic! I played with my cousins and listened to music a lot. In my house, I put the Christmas tree and a small nativity scene. I decorated the house, too. The house had lights in the balcony.

At Christmas Eve I went to my grandparents' house with my family. I ate prawns, ham and bread. It was delicious! For dessert we had  "turrons", "neules", "polvorons" and chocolates. These are typical desserts for Christmas.

A paquet of "Neules".

On Christmas day, I received presents and sweets. Under my Christmas tree I had some gifts. After this, I went to my aunt`s house. We ate "sopa de galets" is a special soup for Christmas day. My present was a pyjama!!

I had a "Tió" in my house. It’s a special trunk. The “Tio” gave presents to my cousins. This is a tradition of Catalonia. 

On St. Steve’s day, I ate "canelons” with potatoes. The "canelons" is minced meat wrapped in a special dough. I stayed at home with my cousin.

The 1st of December, in Spain we ate twelve grapes. My family and I prepared gifts, because is my mother's saint. I ate bread with cheese…

A piece of the "Tortell de Reis ".

The 6th of December is the day of "The three wise men". This day, I went to my uncle's house. The dessert was the "Tortell de Reis". The Tortell had a bean and a figure of a king. It was fantastic!! My grandparent had the kind and my mother the bean. My granddad put in his head a crown, because he was the king.  At night, all the family went to the Parade of "The three wise men". My cousins and I were very happy.
