Christmas's Time
Today, I would want to talk about the Xmas's holiday and in particular about xmas's atmosphere that is very particular. In fact in those days all people are busy to purchase the gift for own relatives and friends (or own dear?) paying much money.
The negative aspects are that all shops are crowded and it's also difficult to enter in a shop to see or to choose which items to buy. Moreover, the traffic is caotic and it is impossible to park a car even in Malls which have big spaces for this. I tried to go at Mall in early morning, almost at the opening but there were already more people than usual.
There are many positive things about this period and one of these is you could get togheter relatives who you don't see during the year (for some people this is a reason not to celebrate this period, but it isn't the same for me because I love my relatives and it is an opportunity to see them. During the year, everyone has many things to do and because of this I cannot often to see them.
The second one regards children. It is a fantastic period for them because Santa Claus brings their gifts and they don't have to go at school for 2 weeks. Thus, they can watch many cartoons on TV and to play for more time than usual.
Another good things it is you will be able to eat different foods than usual, like typical regional traditional food. For example, if you are sicilian like me, you could eat many particular food both salty and sweet.
And you, What do you like to eat? Do you prefer salty or sweet food?

Christmas's Time
Today, I would like to talk about the Xmas's holiday and in particular about the xmas's atmosphere, which is very particular. In fact, during these days everybody is busy purchasing the gifts for their own relatives and friends (or own dear?), and paying a lot of money. (We don't usually use 'much' in positive statements, only questions and negatives. We prefer 'a lot of' or, more conversationally, 'lots of'.)The negative aspects are that all the shops are crowded and it's also difficult to enter in a shop to see or to choose which items to buy. Moreover, the traffic is chaotic and it is impossible to park (the car) even in Malls which have lots of space for this. I tried to go to the Mall in the early morning, almost as soon as it opened, but there were already more people than usual.
There are many positive things about this period and one of these is you can get together with relatives (who) you don't see during the year (for some people this is a reason not to celebrate this period, but it isn't the same for me because I love my relatives and it is an opportunity to see them. During the year, everyone has many things to do and because of this I cannot (better: "can't") often to see them.
The second one regards children. It is a fantastic period for them because Santa Claus brings their gifts and they don't have to go to school for 2 weeks. Thus, they can watch many cartoons on TV and to play for more time (better: longer) than usual.
Personally, I haven't got a sweet tooth, so I prefer savoury food!

Well written! Personally, I haven't got a sweet tooth, so I prefer savoury food. :)
