What was the best day I had in Christmas?

I thought about writing this text before, but I wasn't sure of what I was going to write about. Now that the end of Christmas is near, I could say that the best day I had in Christmas was, without any doubt, the Christmas Eve.

That day I was in La Antilla with my whole family and I had a really good time though I had to work a lot because I was the host and because the washing machine was broken, and I had to wash all the plates in a tradicional way.

All the people that was invited had to bring some food and drinks to colaborate a little bit. Finally, everything went OK. The dinner was fantastic and the dishes too. Afterwards, we started dancing a lot of different kinds of music because every person had to choose three songs that the liked and then they were played, and that mix of music was really peculiar.

With the food that was left over we all eat the other day, that was celebrated in a relax way.

Belenes in Spain

Today I'm going to talk about Belenes, specially about the figures it's composed.

In Belenes you can find a lot of different kinds of figures. The most popular ones are the baby Jesus, Joseph and Virgin Maria. Then you can include the peasants, a river... In some places it's popular to have the caganet, that is a person pooping near a tree.

In other ones you can see people moving becuase they're actually part of it! It's a "Belen Viviente", and you can see them in schools at the end of the course.

In conculsion, if you are in Spain in Christmas, one of the most interesting things is to see them! 

Good bye and merry christmas.
