Christmas Time

Christmas is one of my favorites holidays, the origins of Christmas are in the Christian religion and it celebrates the birth of the sun of god. According to the Christian’s stories there were three kings that brought gifts to the new born.
Now we also celebrate as a tradition of the occidental world, the arriving of Santa Claus at Christmas night bringing gifts to all the children in the world.
I think that most of the celebration that we have now it’s according to a culture that we had incorporated as ours that mostly is promote the values of the capitalism and the imperialism.
On the other hand, I think that we should make this holyday a time to spend with the family and friends, and for the people who believe in this religion a special time to celebrate. We shouldn`t be so worried about buying stuff and getting presents.
I usually celebrate with my closest family and sometimes we spend it with others members of the family, like uncles and cousins. We usually have a nice dinner prepared by my mom and then we exchange gifts, on the next day we hang out in my house with the rest of the family.
I like the Christmas time because I can spend a really great time with my family and we can share special gifts.

  1. Very good, Belén.

    About your post.

    Don´t forget capital letters after stops and in proper nouns (names, in this case.)

    Also, don´t confuse "sun" the star, with "son" offspring.

    "Reyes Magos" is "The three wise men".

    You also talk about the "arrival" of Santa Claus at middnight, at Christmas, or the night of Christmas.

    How can you say the following in correct English:

    "it’s according to a culture that we had incorporated as ours that mostly is promote the values of the capitalism and the imperialism...".
