New Year’s Eve party

This has been an especial New Year’s Eve for me.

All began a day we decided we could do a dinner for that special day, at first I thought that it wouldn’t prosper the idea but I were wrong. Some days before New Year’s Eve we began to prepare the party that would become the best that I’ve done in a lot of time!

We prepared the dinner with a lot of food, the grapes or olives and the typical “cotillón”. After having dinner, we had only ten minutes to prepare the grapes! At twelve o’clock we welcomed the new year with a champagne glass!

After that we went to a bar to meet all our friends and to wish all the best for the 2008.

Furthermore this year there was something new! There was a party in the sports centre. This was an excellent thing that has never been in La Pobla.

To sum up, I’d like to say that it has been the best entrance to the year 2008!

MY CHRISTMAS TIME

On 21^th we left school and just on 24^th I started working in “Tremp’s Cap”. On 24^th I worked at afternoon and at night I met my family to celebrate together Christmas Eve. Then I went out with my friends and my boyfriend. On the following day we opened the Father Christmas’ presents.
Another important day during this vacation was 29^th. And you may be asking yourselves, why? My parents and my friends prepared me a party to celebrate my birthday. It was amazing! They gave me as a present a digital camera. Afterwards, New Year’s Eve arrives. But this year it was a little bit different. The council prepared the sports centre to do there celebration there. They paid an orchestra and a material to put it on the floor not to damage the selfsame one.

A week after, approximately, on 5^th I invited my boyfriend to have dinner in a restaurant. Then we went out since late at night. And or course, like on 24^th I had to got up early, without sleeping to open the gifts because of the lovely innocence of my little sister. To sum up, this vacation I had been working a lot but I also went out and had fun! I have really enjoyed this Christmas.

The other side of Christmas

Recently, we have finished our Christmas' holidays.
They have been some fanthastic days, without working or going to school and making a lot of celebrations with family and friends. But there is another thing which is not so great. If we make the effort of thinking about all we have bought during Christmas, we'll notify that consumerism has invaded our lives. Every day we bought a lot of stupid things and specially during Christmas. This Christian tradition, which celebrates Jesus' birthday, has become only a consumist celebration. I'm sure that nobody thinks about what really means Christmas when we are buying presents. We live in a society in which we are what we have got, things are more valuous than persons and appearances govern our minds. But really, these things will never make us better humans.
For that, I think we should think about it, because while we are buying in sales, not very far there are a lot of people who die of hunger.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS

Christmas holidays have just finished.
In this writing I will explain my Christmas holidays.
The first days I spent my time doing concerts of accordion around the Pallars Sobirà with my player’s accordionist group.
The following days I stayed with my family, I had long lunch, long dinners…
On New Year Eve I had dinner with my family, and later I went out with my friends all night.
The rest of the days I worked hard in my research work.
People like Christmas holidays, but in my opinion every year is worst.

The most important for the people is buying a lot of presents and this isn’t the most important about Christmas.
The best is spending the days with our family and friends.In conclusion, I like Christmas but it could be better without so much consumism.
