Christmas holidays (first part)

Now,  I’ll explain the most importants things that I have done the firsts days on Christmas holidays.

24/12/10 Christmas Eve:

The night of this day is when Santa Claus came to the houses. My family didn’t celebrate it, but we made a big dinner. We ate prawns with mayonnaise and a salad. To this dinner we met all my grandparents and my family. When we finished the dinner we played cards and my father and my grandfather won.

25/12/10 Christmas Day:

This day, we met the same people that had the lunch the night before. Like a tradition, my mother made Vol-au-vent, a sort of french meat’s cakes. My mother is spanish, but she was born in France ans she lived there for many years. She made the cakes with sausage and mushrooms. My mother, with our help, made green bins with ham and a salad too. When we finished, we played with the Trivial Pursuit, a table game, and my father and my grandfather, that always went together, won another time.

26/12/10 Saint Stephen Day:

Here, in Catalonia, this day is the second most important day on Christmas. We went to my grandparents’ house. They are the parents of my dad. There, my grandmother made “Escudella i carn d’olla”, a sort of soup with pasta and some meat. This is a traditional dish of Catalonia. When we finished, my aunt came and we played Dominó and my grandparent won.
