CHRISTMAS & DIVERGENT- by Patricia Fernández Bujarrabal

Christmas
Christmas is a period of celebrations, family, love, presents…
It commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25th. Christmas Day is a holiday in lots of countries in the world because it’s also celebrated by non-Christian people for reasons of culture.
We have that special day where someone gives us presents. That person is Santa Claus or Papa Noel, on the night of 24 he comes to our houses to leave us some presents that we want. Santa Claus is not famous in Spain because we have the Three Wise Men: Melchor,Gaspar and Baltasar and they come on the night of 6th of the next year. They put on many smiles on spanish children.
On Christmas there are many traditions of different types like:
·         Decorations: christmas tree, lights around the house…
·         Music and carols: usually in christmas we are singing songs like Silent Night, Jingle Bells…
·         Traditional cuisine: in Spain we eat fish on these dates
·         Cards: to wish a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
·         Gift giving: there are so many figures associated with gift giving
