Stocking Game - Board game

In my opinion the best thing about the holiday season are the holidays with family.

I think that at Christmas people waste a lot of money.

I spend Christmas with my grandmother, my uncles and cousins and my parents. I like Christmas because we are all together.

Aroa Sala, 2nd C

I would like to receive a new mobile phone this Christmas. The earliest Christmas memory I have is to get up early and to find my favourite present as a child, it was a Barbie doll.

Aina Mariages, 2nd A

The worst thing at the Christmas holiday is the cold. I have the dinner Christmas at home. I've never spent the Christmas holiday away from home. At Christmas I play with my friends and I visit my family. I sing Fum fum fum Carol and I watch the film Scruch' Ghosts.

Ivan Contreras, 2nd B

In my opinion, the best thing about the holiday season is gather together with all the family and have fun. And the worst thing is that it passes very quickly.

The most people think in buying presents. I think that people only waste money if they buy presents that aren’t useful.

My favourite Carol is Last Christmas. I don’t have a favourite holiday movie, but when I was young I always saw Disney films on holidays.

I spend Christmas with all my family. My family don’t have any special tradition at Christmas, but we always go to my aunt’s house on 25th December in Sant Llorenç town. When I go to Sant Llorenç with my family and we stay there for 3 days and we celebrate the end of the year, I enjoy it and it is really fun and I hung out with my cousins or friends.

The last “perfect” gift I gave to someone, were earrings that I gave to my mum. They weren't “perfect” but my mum really liked them. The last one I received was a bag and a perfume from my aunts.

Imelda Castañón, 2nd B

People spend a lot of money these days. The last “perfect” gift I gave was a box of chocolates for my mother. My favourite holiday movie is Home Alone.

Abel Navarro, 2nd B

The best thing for me at Christmas is to be with the family around the table all talking, laughing... it's beautiful. The last gift I received was a pair of shoes , a jacket and a pair of boots and the last travel holidays away from home was two years ago that I just went to see my family in Brazil.

Iris Dias, 2nd C

My last perfect travell was last year when I went a trip on horse. I was with my dad, my oncle and friends. It was at 2:00 p.m at night, and we didn't see nothing, but the horses can see in the darkness and they drive us to home. It was amazing!

My first memorable event was when all my family ate together. My second memorable event was when the Three Wise Men brought me a horse toy. My third memorable event was when my dad accompany me to "El Rocio" with my horse.

Paloma Barea, 2nd B

At Christmas I’m in my grandmother’s house with all my family and we play boardgames. I go to my grandfather’s house to have a traditional Christmas dinner. I would like to go to Hawaii with my family and friends.

Aida Abellán, 2nd C

In my opinion the best thing about  the holidays are the presents. Christmas is very commercial and the people waste a lot of money because they buy many presents and food. I have a traditional lunch on 24th, 25th and 31st of December with my mother's family and on 26th December, 1st January and 6th January with my father's family. I also go to my cousins' house to play. The perfect present I received was a guitar. My favourite song is All I Want for Christmas is You and my favourite movie is Un cuento antes de Navidad.

Sara Escudero, 2nd B

In my opinion the worst thing about the holiday season is to do the holiday homework. During the holidays I hang out with my friends. My favourite holiday songs are the carols and my favourite holiday movie is The Gringh.

Judith Ruiz, 2nd C

I spend Christmas with my family. The tradition is to eat with my family all Christmas holidays. We often go with my family to a Farm House.

Ana Fernández, 2nd A

The best of the Holidays is that there is no school, there are many parties and we are the family together. In my opinion people waste money on Christmas gifts, but they waste much money in sales.

The worst Christmas for me is the homework because I enjoy resting. My favourite songs are Nadales and my favourite movie is The Hunger Games.

Judit Rodríguez, 2nd B

In my opinion the best of the holidays is being with family. At Christmas there are many commercial days because you have to do a lot of shopping. The worst thing about being on holiday is that you're not with friends. I sometimes spend Christmas with my family in a Cottage Home. To hung out I play with my cousins. My favorite song is Bells On Bells and my favourite film is Santa Buddies.

Christmas is very strange in Britain because in Spain is very different.

At Christmas everybody decorate the Christmas Tree are baubles, ligths and the star or angel.

In Britain the main decorations are the Christmas Stocking and holly or other things.

In the garden people make a snowman. Many people decorate the door  with a wreath.

3 months before chirstmas they bake a Christmas cake. In December everybody write the Christmas cards for other people.

On 25th December Father Christmas gives presents to children. Children put brandy for him and carrots for his reindeers. The traditional Christmas dinner is roast turkey and the traditional dessert is Christmas pudding. The Christmas cake is made it three months before Christmas and every week put brandy inside it. The houses are decorated with wreath on the door and lights, the Christmas tree is decorated with baubles. In the schools every class do a Nativity play and on 1st December children call the doors and sing carols, and with the money they win they buy Christmas presents for their families.

Judit Ruiz, 2nd C

Alison has explained us that in her country Christmas is very important. They buy many things at Christmas; Christmas Tree, Christmas gift, many different decoration. On 25th December the call Christmas Day, family celebrate Christmas and at dinner there's a cake called Christmas pudding and they do stuffed turkey with vegetables.

The children and adults go to the doorstep of their neighbours to sing Christmas Carols and neighbours give them money to buy Christmas presents.

Aina Mariages, 2nd A

Christmas in England starts on the 1st December when people start to decorate their houses and to buy presents to their family and their friends. Like we know, Christmas is to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus, so peolpe go to the church on the 25th December. At the same time English mums usually prepare a roast turckey with roast vegetables, pudding, a Christmas cake... a lot of food usually, too much. Children like to go out and to play with the snow doing snowmen waiting for their Christmas presents. It's always very cold in England.
