3. Christmas Eve
My family and I celebrate Christmas Eve all
together. We meet in ahouse or restaurant and
have dinner. After dinner we go home, sit around
the crib and sing carols, after a while we eat sweet
and when it's time we go to Midnight Mass. After
mass, we go home and call our family in Ecuador.
We wish them a happy Christmas Eve. We also
tend to dance occasionally.

4. CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

6. • The Christmas tree is a decorative
element typical of Christmas. The use of
artificial trees, plastic and other synthetic
materials is also popular today. It is
decorated with ornaments such as
colored glass beads or other less fragile
material, lights, stars, bows, garters and
garlands.

7. NEW YEAR TRADITIONS

8. 1st of January
A tradition of New
Year’s Eve is to eat a
grape per second in the
last 12 seconds before
the end of the year to
have good luck the
following year. In
theory, if you don’t
take them, it is said
that you are going to
start with bad luck.

9. I am going to explain a couple of traditions of the night
of the 31 of December.
At the time the bells ring people have to advance the right leg to
have good luck, and another is to put gold jewellery in the
champagne glasses and drink from these glasses with care, it is
also to give good luck to the new year. I think that these traditions
are typical when there is an old member of the family, such as a
grandmother.

11. THE EPIPHANY

12. On 5 January my family and I go to the Cabalgata at night. There
are many people, especially kids who are waiting for the
Espiphany. The Epiphany protagonists, the three wise men, are in
a beautiful carriage where they stroll through the streets of the
city and they give us candy.

13. THE EPIPHANY
On January 6 I am used to seeing how
my family opens the gifts from the three
wise men because I have already
opened them before. As every year,
that day the family gets together, and
after opening the gifts, we go at my
aunt's house for lunch.
