CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS

By: Valeria G

My family and I always celebrate Christmas. In Costa Rica [where I live] we have many Christmas traditions. Some of the traditions are at night so my mother does not let me go. I follow some traditions that do not have to be done at night. I do them at home, like to light the candles on the Advent Crown each Sunday at night. I also celebrate with my family and friends on the 24 th of December. We have a big pork dinner that my father and grandma cook. When we finish eating I go to sleep and then my parents wake me up and I open the gifts.
