By: Andrea Rodriguez

For me, Christmas day is very important because I spend all day with my family.

I remember a Christmas day when I was five years old, I was living with my grandparents. That day was very important because my family waited my uncle, he stayed in USA. My parents and all family went to my grandmother's house at 6pm.

My grandmother was in the kitchen. She used to cook dinner for Christmas every years. Also, we used to eat dinner together. After the dinner they were talking about different things while my cousins and I was ran in the garden, we played together during at night.  We used to dance and they drank champagne to celebrate. Always my aunt and my other uncle was doing the barbecued, my grandfather prepared the natilla and majar blanco. That was a great Christmas Day.

It was almost 12:00, we stayed in the living room and we were waiting for the gifts. My uncle brought many gift, I thought all night about my gift. I was excited because I didn't ask nothing, however I waited a gift.finally we opened the gifts. 3 gifts were for me, in the last box I found a beautiful toy horse. I was so happy, I played all time with it. After we talked, danced and played At 4:00 a.m.I was having a good time with my family, but a couple of hours later I had to go to bed. That Christmas Day was one of the happiest I ever had and I was happy together with my family.

I had many gift but that was better, I will never forget it. I am 20 years old and I have my horse in my bedroom, I think to keep this Toy.
