HI! MI NAME IS EDGAR, I�M 21 YEARS OLD AND I�M FROM COSTA RICA.

WE ARE TO FEW DAYS OF CELEBRATING THE CHRISTMAS, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE BEST CELEBRATION OF ALL, NOT ONLY BECAUSE WE RECEIVE GIFTS ALSO BECAUSE IT IS TIME OF BEING HAPPIER.

AT THIS TIME FOR ME IT IS HAPPIER BECAUSE SOON I WILL BE DAD AND THAT IT IS THE BEST GIFT.

IN OUR COUNTRY WE TAKES PLACE WITH THE FAMILY, EATING A LOT AND OPENING GIFTS IN CHRISTMAS EVE.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW CELEBRATE THE CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD, SO PLEASE ANSWER THIS MESSAGE.

India is multi-cultural, and even some non-Christians are inspired to celebrate Christmas, though not as grandly as Christians do.
For many years, my son had believed that it was Santa who had left the gift for him. Once, when he was three, he asked me how Santa could come in at night when the doors were closed. I had told him that Santa came in and left through the window. He then went and closely examined the window for some clues.

OK, while we are going to eat, here are some tips for fitness freaks:

Everyone like them, children especially

In China, each child could get some cash because of New Year,
And many of them could buy something freely, but not all,
