Christmas, my favorite holiday
Hello, my name is Marycarmen Rivas, before I get down to my presentation I want to introduce myself better and tell you a little bit about me:
I was born on a beautiful Monday on March the 26th of 1984 here in the city of Puebla. I live with my mom, sister, and my handsome one year old son. I'm a single mother trying to do the best I can for my son, however, I get a lot of help from my family, especially from my mom.
I also have a boyfriend, we love each other very much and plan to get married in the near future; He is always there for me as I'm always there for him too, and I think that's what makes our relationship so especial, even if we're far away from each other we both know we can count on one another. Respect and trust are the main aspects for us, but isn't always easy, especially when you live in different places. He's very protective of me, and gets jealous very easily, but it always comes to the bottom part, which is how much we love each other. We call and write each other everyday; because he's in college outside the country, we only get to see each other on vacations and some holidays. I love holidays, as I'm sure many people do, but my favorite one has to be Christmas...which is what I've decided to make my presentation about.
Christmas to me is a celebration, which includes spending quality time with my family and loved ones, decorating the entire house, inside and out, and shopping for the people I love. Doing this with the people I love is what means the most to me.
Spending Christmas with my family is very important to me. We usually gather and celebrate at my grandparent's house. We spend the day cooking, baking cookies, and preparing a big Christmas dinner, with all the trimmings.
Decorating for Christmas is so much fun. My grandfather always draws a new background scenery, for the Nativity scene, that he displays every year. He, my uncles, brother-in-law and my boyfriend start with the decorations for the outside of the house. Every year,
