Christmas and New year Celebration 

This year is One of the best Christmas and New year celebration i celebrated of my life because the places we visited and the different food we have tasted. Just before the last day of school I give out presents to my teacher and a few of my friends. I always hope they like what I get them. When school is over and the Christmas holiday begins I usually go out with my parents.

During the day I go to Cebu; maybe to a river or sometimes we just go on a ride round. Almost everyday we go out for lunch. I always ask my parents not to tell me what they get me. Of course I no longer believe I Santa Claus. They usually buy a present for my brother to give to me, as my brother is five. What I do is have my supper and then we each go to our beds. My favorite part of the holiday is Christmas day.

Last year, I went down very early but my mother always tells me to wait for the rest of the family. When they come down I open my presents and every year I like what every one gets me. At night we have a roast dinner usually chicken. 

During January and February My Sister and I get another present from my uncle from Zamboanga it's usually clothing or sometimes jewellery.

Two years ago I went to church on Christmas Eve and I won all the figures for the crib; there were all sorts of things. It was like the whole town of Bethlehem. Last year and this year, my father built a mountain that is about a meter wide. It starts small with bits and pieces and from there we build up. I live with my mother, father, sister and uncle and every year we have a nice Christmas. We are all happy and we get lots of gifts. My friends Harvey and Dan always get me a nice present and I always give them one too.

Last year I gave my teacher some figures to do a crib in class. Every year I give Christmas cards to all my friends. I love to decorate my house and last year I made a holly wreath out of a clothes hanger, some tinsel with a few decorations too. New Year is considered to be the most important and wonderful holiday in Philippines , since that is the time for people to leave their haplessness in the back and get their fortune for the New Year. Similar to other houses, this community has always bustled in preparing and greeting for the New Year.
