I like a lot christmas, because you have to give and in the same way you receive some gift, and you do not have to work..... it is the best!

I also like Christmas. But it is starting to become more of a material holiday. Most people enjoy it because of all the gifts. We are forgetting what Christmas is really all about.

I also love Christmas.
Because all the family gets together,
you forget about many problems and you just enjoy a little bit.
Then, you see all the lights, you listen to all those songs, you drink hot drinks.
Here, we get together, we pray, we break a pi�ata, eat, laugh a lot and then the gifts.
Xmas's became material, I do agree

Another holiday is Death's Day.
You pray to your deads, many people gets together in the graveyards to dance dressed like the death and all that stuff xD
