Christmas

Christmas 2015 was different and really interesting. Usually I celebrate Christmas like this: I get up at like 10 am, me and my family have breakfast with eggs and everything that we love, we watch TV and make a relaxed day. In the evening my mom makes Raclette (see Link below) with cheese, mushrooms, meet, carrots, cucumber, potatoes, tomatoes and lot´s of other things that you could put on the Raclette grill or dip in sause. My dad usually goes to church before dinner and we´re waiting for him. Then we eat and after we eat my sister and me go upstairs and read a book or whatever. When I was little my dad used to read a christmas story with us or we watched my dad or mom putting the presents under the tree. Anywise when my parents are done with putting the presents under the tree they call us down, my dad reads something from the bible and then we get our presents. That´s our christmas. When we finished opening the presents we just enjoy the time with the family, watch TV again and go to bed when it´s around 11 or 12 pm. On December 25th and 26th we celebrate Christmas and my dad´s mom and my mom´s mom.

In America we had a normal day on December 24th. My host family is jewish so we had no Christmas tree. But we had decoration so it was ok and my host mom went to a contest with christmas tree´s where we looked at all the different decorations. Some were really funny and some were really pretty. On December 25th we got our presents in the morning. We were sitting in our pajamas and opening our presents. I loved my presents but I also was a little sad that the pack from my mom wasn´t there yet. We had breakfast after we open our presents. It was a really nice day and interesting to see how Americans celebrate Christmas.
