CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY

December is one of most beautiful months of the year, Christmas celebrations are very colorful and varied around the world. In Ecuador people are very warm and homely. In my family, the Christmas night, we all meet in my aunt's house at 9 pm, we have to wear a semiformal suit and each family should bring a salad, dessert or some kind of food for dinner. On December 24 is the day that you eat the most during the year, the board is everything from red rice to potato´s croquettes. For me it's the best day of the year, not only because i receive some gifts, is mostly because this night is when I see my whole family, all my uncles, aunts, cousins, even my grandma who lives in U.S come for this big party.. This it is most tired night of the holiday because during the day my sister and i have to help preparing and get averything ready for the night. There we pass having conversations, dancing, laughing, then at 11 at night we pray the holy bible and at 12 we have the dinner and then we open the presents. The next day we again meet together in the same house for lunch, eat what remained of the night before because there is always that leaves from the night before.
