My Holidays   

   Well,  today, I am going to talk you about my “Christmas’s”, I think that is the perfect moment of the year to bring this topic because we are so close to Christmas and then the new year, and in my case is a little bit different because my family does not celebrate this holiday as such, the reason is because my family are Chinese (they do not celebrate the Christmas in China)  and they aren't Christians neither.

  Therefore, the Christmas Eve (December 24), my family work in their restaurant, because many people come to eat their Christmas dinner. So, as my family doesn’t celebrate this holiday is understandable that we do not exchange gifts, but instead, my parents always give us a red envelope with money (a very Chinese thing). And in the 25^th of December, all my family and friends go out to a restaurant to have a big dinner.

   Regarding new year we celebrate the night of the 31st, but we always make the “real celebration” the next day because we make a barbecue we all the friends and family. But the real New Year for us is the “Chinese new year” which we celebrated in another date, where we get together to eat a lot of typical Chinese food and receive more red envelopes from the family.
