Holidays

today is 31 on December.

It's the finish of 2013 and welcome to the new year 2014. It's a time when people make new commitments and try to keep them. My city is quiet, I think most people travel to visit their family. .

I'm very happy because I've had a lot of fun this year with my family and friends. Thank God It was a very good year for me, and them too.

This year I began to study English and I hope to get better because i want to travel to different countries in the near future. 

The tradition in my country is to have  dinner with your family, friends or neighbors. We eat a lot of Hallas with bread of "jamon", black cake or paneton, salad of chicken, "pernil" or "muchacho" and  12 grapes for good luck before the finish of the year. We drink a toast with wine and share lots of love, kisses, and hugs. 

I hope you enjoy reading this. My best wishes to you and all the people of ITalki. HAPPY NEW YEAR :D

Hi Amanda, I hope you have a great New Year and improve your English this year. You're doing well after such a short time learning English... I wish my Spanish was as good as your English.

I corrected your work as well as I could. A couple of times I wasn't exactly sure what you were trying to say so I wrote what I thought you were saying. I hope it helps.

We all get together and feast on "Hallacas"; a stew of chicken, beef, olives and capers, that is stuffed into a corn dough pocket, wrapped in a banana leaf, tied with string and boiled. We also have "Pan de Jamon", a soft bread with ham and raisins inside; "Ensalada de Gallina"; a chicken and potato salad, "Pernil"; a roasted pork dish, "Panetton"; a sweet bread with candied oranges, raisins, citron, and lemon zest, and "Muchacho"; a dish of pork, chicken, and cheese. We also celebrate with the twelve grapes representing our twelve Christmas wishes, and plenty of wine, hugs, kisses, and love.
