My favorite festivity

If I have to choose a favorite festivity for me, I think I would choose Christmas, since it`s a time to spend with the family, to think about life and it`s a time to be thankful for everything that we have.

Christmas is a catholic festivity to celebrate the birth of Christ and it`s celebrated on 25th December.
So, I`m not very catholic, and most of my family isn´t either, but my grandfather is, and we understand the meaning of the celebration.
I really enjoy been around family and the people I love. Me and my family have dinner together every 24th December, and we wait for the 12 o`clock to gives each other a hug and gives the presents.
We have a very nice time that night, we always laugh and remember the last Christmas.
For the dinner, ussually the parents do the meal, but me and my cousins cook the desserts, so it is funny when we eat them later. Besides we always celebrate in my house, and my mom loves to decorate the house, so it`s very beautiful everything.
However, I don`t like the consumerism of this festivity, because it`s gives it a wrong meaning to this  festivity.
I hope that all the family of now, understand the real meaning, that it is to spend with the family, share a nice moment, to love, to forgive and realize of the beauty of life, when you have people to love.
