2. My Christmas holidays were good because I spent them with my family.

3. On Christmas Eve I went to Guardea to have dinner with my grandparnts. We ate a lot: there was pasta with salmon, prawns... After dinner we played cards and then at 11.00 I went to Mass and then we came back to Grotte.

4. The Mass on Christmas Day was beautiful because the band played along with the choir. After I went to Grotte to my maternal grandparents for lunch, we were 11 people because there were my cousins ​​. In the afternoon I went to Guardea and I played with my cousins Matilde and Tommaso.

5. I came home very late ; was approximately 1.00. The next day I woke up very early because my little sister could not wait to see what Santa Claus had brought. After discarding the presents because my sister did not want to go back to bed we started to play. Around 9:30 we went by our cousins ​​ who live below us and we exchanged present. In less than no time had passed four hours since we woke up and it was time to go to church.

6. New year’s Eve was great fun, in the evening I had dinner at home with my family, we ate a lot, especially lentils as tradition. We waited midnight playing bingo and cards, and then I and my cousin sat on the sofa. At midnight we toasted and then I my uncle and my cousins ​​ went out to shoot some fireworks. After we were together for another hour and finally at about 2:00 we back home to sleep.

7. New Year’s Day wasn’t very good, it seemed good start but suddenly the phone rang and Mom and Dad went to my grandparents’ house because because grandma wasn’t very well. I, my sister and my cousins ​​ were very anxious but we went to Mass. Then my dad and my uncle took my grandmother to the hospital, and so it was a nice day.

8. During these holidays, namely the 26 was my birthday. That day I quite enjoyed it although I celebrated my birthday the next day with very few people : about 6. it was beautiful.

9. I would have asked for these holidays no else but not to go to my grandmother to the hospital.
