Christmas


I'm really excited for Christmas, it's a holiday that is celebrated in all countries where many people gather together to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, many people have a special food for that day and they decorate their houses with the Christmas trees, and lights. The food can vary in many countries some people would eat turkey, fish and sometimes pork, you can also find some very good fruit cakes.


In my family what we usually do is make some tamales, and a very delicious drink called "ponche" it's made out of all kinds of fruits, one of my favorites is the apple and guava wich are delicious, for the gift giving we have so many presents that we cover the whole christmas tree with presents, and then we stay up all night till three in the morning.


We also go buy a lot of fireworks for the kids that come to our house that don't have money we invite them and we have a really good time with them, because in Christmas I think that everybody should get a present and so between all of my brothers try to raise some money for those kids and buy them a small present that can make them smile in Chistmas.

Busy week



This weekend was amazing, first because I had a wonderful time with my family, and I really loved it because we reunited all together again and we had some food wich was very delicious. Yesterday I also had an amazing day because one of my favorites soccer team won the mach in the classico wich is only played in spain, my team named Barcelona was playing a very good game, the way that they were passing the ball from one side to the other was amazing, almost magic and that is one of the reasons why they won by scoring five goals.




Today is also a very important day for many immigrant students that are living in the United States because the senate passed the law called "Dream Act" wich will help immigrant students to get a permit to live in the United States and to even get to be citizens of the U.S this will benefit many immigrant students because the will be able to go school and to get a job, and also they will be able to visit their families in their countries, a lot of young students were hoping that this law can be pass, because it will decide the future of many students in this country.



During the next few days I will be really busy, by going to soccer practice every day, our soccer season is getting closer and we are hoping to do better this year, we have a lot of players who are trying really hard to get better and to hopefully get into the playoffs this year.
