Christmas is said to be one of the biggest holidays of the year especially in Western countries. They celebrate Christmas as a special party for all family members to join and have a wonderful time together. From very old days, Christmas has been known by people all around the world for its special traditions. I love Christmas for many reasons. First, it brings a cozy atmosphere to all families. During the holiday, people gather together to decorate their houses, prepare delicious meals and spend time doing good things. People share thoughts, feelings and opinions with each other. They also behave well with others to show their kindness, love and care for both relatives and friends.
The Christmas tree plays an important role as everyone prepares and decorates it with colorful electric lights, gifts and other ornaments. During Christmas, a lot of delicious dishes are made such as: fried chicken, BBQ, sweet cakes and candy and so on. People enjoy making meals and cleaning their houses and streets in their town and they hope for good things and express best wishes for everyone.
At Flamingo Language School, our teachers were also busy preparing a wonderful Christmas party for us. During the Christmas party, we played a lot of games: Let It Roll, Basketball Throw, ‘Gourd Crab Shrimp Fish’ and Handmade Workshop. When we finished all the games, we went back to our classroom to enjoy delicious fried chicken or pizza. At the end of the party, the teachers stood by the front door and offered gifts to their students. Although Christmas weather is cold, people feel cozy when being with their beloved. In our opinion, Christmas is not only a winter holiday but also traditional culture of people around the world.
