Do it at home rubric:
My favorite holiday is Christmas because the whole family gathers in one place just to spend time
with each other. I really like the fact that it’s cold outside and we can stay home all day long and just
chat with the other members or guests. Every year we go to the fair in the centre of the town and
have a good time. There are also lots of amazing traditions that include decorating the house and
the Christmas tree, waiting for Santa Claus to come and singing carols. Even though it has a religious
significance, for me it’s that time of the year when we all take some rest and gain positive energy for
the new year that’s about to come.
