#12 Christmas day

It is around the family that people first learn how to live in group. In many tradition, we start learning more about things and people around us. But more than this, we start to learn about feelings and emotions. (39)

In my opinion, one of the most celebrated traditions is Christmas. It is sort of a date to realize simple things in life. The streets get decorated with colorfull lights, people get in a different state of mind of solidarity and union. In a religious way, many families get together to share an uncial moment of joy.

Me and my family always celebrate Christamas at my home. Around three weeks before December 25th, my mother, my brother and I start to build our Christmas tree. Everything gets red and green with beautiful lights around our appartament. When the day comes, my grandmother makes the Christmas turkey and a really good food. My uncles, aunts and little cousins - who are usually distant during the year - come to my home to have this family time. When it is around midnight, my family gets together aroun the Christmas tree. We pray and thank God for the simple things of life that make us in union. So we hug each other and wish "Merry Christmas" and sing a happy song to celebrate life. We share gifts and then, we eat the food while we talk and laugh in a really good mood. (141)

That is why I think that the Christmas night is one of my family's important tradition. It is a really simple date to express the feelings we usually don't have time to show. A day that gets my family together to have a good time to celebrate all of the love we feel. (53)
