Chiefly , I think that Christmas is the moment of the year which people spend more , because we spend a lot of money in energy for example : radiators, heaters . Also , we spend a lot of money in presents for the family , and especially in what we spend more is on food for example : Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve.
ResponderEliminarIn Christmas , i think that the pros are that for example : usually we see to our whole family and have a good time with them, enjoying great meals.
I think that the bad thing about Christmas is the weather, because it is usually very cold, it usually snows and rains. also at Christmas everything rises in price to take advantage of people.
To conclude , i like christmas because you enyoy with your family .

ResponderEliminarChristmas is a specially time in which most of us spend a lot of money buying presents, food for family meetings, clothes, etc but is all of it necessary?
The way to celebrate Christmas is beautiful and is a time totally different in whinch we enjoy a lot. I think that since we are born we are used to receive and give presents to our family, put he Christmas Tree, go out frecuently, etc and we only enjoy if we do these things.
But on the other hand, sometimes we waste money or buy things that aren`t necessary. If we are used to spend a lot of money, perhaps one day we will not be able to do that because for example one of our parents lose his job and we will not enjoy Christmas.
The most important thing of Christmas is spend time with family and friends. We must learn not to waste money and share it with poor people.

Christmas is the moment of the year where we spend more energy,for example in heaters,more money,for example when we buy presents or when we buy all the food for the Christmas eve etc... and we also spend light.
People say that the way we celebrate Christmas is good because we get fun doing whatever we want,and I'm agree with that.
One of the things that I like of Christmas is that we spend our time with our family.In Christmas people become more supportive an some even give their earned money to people who necessary need It,this is what I like most of Christmas.
In my opinion,in Christmas we spend unnecessary money in alcholic drinks and people who consume a lot of them make lots of bad things,for example,they run over people.
To conclude,I like Christmas because is the best moment of the year and because we spend all the time in family.I think we should try to bring or help to the family that really need it.If we make this,year to year,Christmas will be better for all.

ResponderEliminarChristmas is the most moment of the year,because everyone is in family . In my family,we sing a lot of Christmas carols. Also at this time everyone spends a lot of money and people consume a lot .
The disadvantages that Christmas has ,it is the money we spent to buy the present for the holiday. Also we spend a lot of food because we celebrate parties.
We can not see our colleagues either and by last Christmas is very short.
The advantages of Christmas are : first I am with the people I love the most; second we don't have homework ;and by last everybody are happy.
In conclusion ,I love Christmas and the Christmas is very special and very beautiful.
For mr ,Christmas is the best time of the year.

The way we celebrate Christmas has radically changed because before families did not spend as much money as now. However, they spent their time with the family and friends. Christmas has converted in a party to consume and unnecessary expenses whereas it has lost its true meaning wich is the meeting with friends.
It is true that make gifts and even give us a gift it satifies all of us, but it prevents us from getting time with the family.
In conclusion I am conviced spend time with the family and friend it enriches us much more, and we do not want to end up as it was in the advertisement of ikea in this christmas.

At Christmas I think it's time of year where we spend more money. For example, you spend a lot of money on buying presents food, trips to get back together with our family...
The good things about Christmas is that you can see all or almost all of your family together even for that night, and so you can be laughing and talking to all of them.
The bad things about Christmas maybe that we spend money unnecessarily on things we don´t need. One of the things that makes me sad at Christmas is that some people can not receive a present for Christmas or simply do not have a family.
In conclusion, Christmas for me is one of the best times of the year because you can spend more time with the family. I think Christmas is a beautiful time to help people who need it most.

ResponderEliminarThe way we spend Christmas I see it with many expenses of money in food, gifts etc ... Because the true meaning of Christmas is union and to get together as a family you do not have to spend so much money just being with our relatives we are well
We all like to give us gifts as usual but with so many gifts we do not spend all our time with our relatives, we lose time with gifts and not with our relatives
In conclusion, I love Christmas because you spend many moments with our relatives but I think that if we spend less money we enjoy the same or more because after all we stay with the experiences and the moments not with a material gift
Fom my point of view, many unnecessary expenses are made at Christmas, both on a personal level and from the town halls, since we buy things that we do not use later and there are too many lights in the streets.
ResponderEliminarI am neither in agreement nor in disagreement with what each one spends in purchases, since it is their money and after all, that benefits the companies. But what I disagree with is the expenses that the city councils make in lighting (excessive lights) since that is paid with the taxes that our parents pay
The good things that I take out of Christmas are family dinners, the reunion with loved ones and the charismatic thing that people are during the Christmas
The bad things: It's a time full of hypocrisy because people you do not talk to all the year talk to you now and the expense is so high.
In conclusion, I do not like Christmas very much but I do not dislike it either. Personally I prefer the summer before this one

From my point of view, I think we spend too much always but especially in the Christmas season. Gifts that we will never use, fashion clothes, food, lots of lights,the sales.
It is the only time of the year when you meet with your family. You enjoy them, games and old songs,movies on the sofa with popcorn and a blanket, eat chocolate with churros.
Christmas is nice if you have someone to share it with and that for me is a disadvantage. It reminds you of loved ones that this year they will not dinner with you at the table.This time of year really forces you to buy gifts and there are families who can't afford it.Those children who live in families who can't afford luxury gifts, are hurt by the children who can.
I don't like Christmas because I don't see that material things are necessary and I think we should always meet with the family. Not because it's Christmas.
In conclusion, we should learn to value what we have before losing it and stop wasting money on material things.
Time is the most valuable thing to give to someone, since that will never be recovered.

ResponderEliminarChristmas is the time of year we spend more energy because they are the coldest months and we always put the heating. For me Christmas is the best time of the year.
I love Christmas because we spend a lot of time with family and friends, I think Christmas brings us together and is very good and I also like it because Santa Claus is coming.
Although receiving gifts we love everyone is that we spend a lot of money in gifts that most of us do not need although it makes us all a lot of illusion even if we are not children.
In conclusion, Christmas is the most beautiful and best time of the year.I think Christmas is a beautiful time to help people who need it most.

ResponderEliminarChristmas is the most beautiful time in the year for me. It’s the moment of union with the family that are far away and with the family of always. It’s also the time of the year that more energy is spent and there are more consumption. People of other countries say that the way of we celebrate the Christmas is very funny and entertaining I am agree with this.
The negative things that the Christmas has is the amount of energy we spend on heating to be always good. Also, the amount of money we spend of gifts for the family at dinners and meals. It’s the time of mass consumption.
The positive things are the family meetings, the joy and innocence of the children, the visit of the family of other countries and the atmosphere in the streets.
To conclude, I love Christmas and I think that it’s the best time of the year even if there are a lot of consumption and expenses.

In my opinion, I think Christmas is the prettiest time but at the same time where we spend the most money, for example, we spend a lot of energy on the decoration lights, we have to buy the Christmas presents and buy what is necessart for family meals.
On the positive side, the beauty of Christmas is that you spend your time together with your whole family.
The bad thing about Christmas is that sometimes you spend unnecessary money on presents that you really don't need.
In conclusion, the best thing about Christmas is that you spend most of your time with your family and friends.

ResponderEliminarChristmas is a time of year, which most of us spend with our family. But besides that it's a time of the year when you spend a lot of money buying gifts, food, clothes, etc.
Christmas is a precious moment to share with our loved ones and meet more people because of it has many good parts, for example the fact of placing Christmas objects and enjoy Christmas accompanied is what describes itself to Christmas.
But on the other hand, Christmas also has negative parts, such as the waste of money so large that it is done for gifts, for food, for clothes, etc ... Many of those things we buy without having a great need for them.

In my opinión the Christmas is the most beautiful time but also of the time of the year that more consume both economically and energetically.
In this period of time The people spend a lot of money on gifts, food, energy (heating, electrical appliances, etc.),
This period is very positive for establishments because people buy a lot with which they sell a lot and it is very positive for them, also at this time both children and adults are very happy as family and friends meet, gifts are given , etc.
Generally, I think that in this time is consumed a lot but there is also much excitement and joy to see how both small and adults have fun and for establishments is very good because they sell a lot and the people who work in them earn a lot of money.

ResponderEliminarChristmas is a special time of the year when people spend time with their families and buy presents. But in this time, we consume a lot of energy and spend more money in light and presents.
The main disadvantages of the Christmas are the big cosumption of light and money that people produce. For example, people waste a lot of money in all the presents, organize the differents dinners and lunch, traveling, etc. And the city councils consume a lot of energy and light with all the streetlight. Another problem is all the food that we eat.
However, Christmas has good advantages and, for me, the most important: the long time that we spend with our families. This moments are specials because we get together and spend our memories with them.
In conclusion, I like Christmas for the moments with the familiy, even if it’s my favourite time.

CHRISTMAS :
From my point of view, christmas is the season in which people always spend more money. Food, lots of lihgts, gifts, electricity ...
I think that Christmas has a lot of advantages , one of them is that most people meet with theirs families and it is a very familiar party another advantage is that we don’t have homework and i don’t have nothing to study.
instead there are less dissdvantages than advantages for example in family meetings I always miss someone of my family that isn’t here and the other disadvantage is money, we spent a lot of money and sometimes in unnecessary things.
To conclude it, christmas is one of my favourite season and the first reason is for the family environment.

Christmas is a nice time of the year to be with family and friends, but it also has negative things.
At Christmas you can spend more time with your family, friends and loved ones.
It is a time when you see relatives and important people for you that, perhaps, you do not see the rest of the year.It is also a good time to eat everything you want.In addition, they give you gifts and you can also give and see the faces of happiness.
Christmas also has negative things, for example, in society increases the consumption of food, alcohol, gifts, etc.On the other hand, it is a time when you miss your loved ones, so it can be sad.
Christmas can have good and bad things, as we have explained above, and for each person it is different every year. But, the most important thing is to try to live it as the dream of a child.

ResponderEliminarChristmas is one of the most important times of the year. There are a lot of lights on the streets and people spend time with their love ones. Although is a time in which we waste a lot of energy and money.
Some of disadvantages about Christmas are the amount of money that we spend in things like a lot of food, presents, deciration,etc. These things are often unnecessary and it is a time in which there is much consumerism.
However, Christmas is a wonderfull time in which we spend a lot of time with friends and a part of your family who we don’t see regulary and is so beautiful see them enjoying together. And is a time in which we give and recieve presents and it is cool in my opinion.
From my point of view, I think that Christmas is so important because you do things that you only can do in this date so is an special time and I love it.

ResponderEliminarChristmas is a very special celebration but from my point of view we spend too much. Foods, christmas decoration and presents makes It special but at the same time many of them aren’t necessary so It’s a waste of money.
All moments of Christmas are specials. You enjoy a lot with your family, walking in the city watching Christmas lights, eating delicious sweets, seeing Christmas movies, opening presents, decorating the Christmas tree… and so on
In fact, every good things brings with Itself something bad. You get fat with all sweets and food that you eat. You waste a lot of money in presents, foods and decoration but I think that one of the worst thing is that there are families that can’t afford all the Christmas expenses and the kids can not receive presents while other kids are receiving very expensive presents.
In my opinion, I enjoy with this celebration but I don’t like so much. I think is good to meet with your family, eat with them, give presents to them but... why we can’t do all this things without being Christmas? We asociate Christmas as a celebration to bring love to your family and friends but I think that we should bring It during all the year.
Azucena Berraquero García 4C
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion I really like Christmas, for many reasons, especially because of the illusion of each person.
But not everything is good at Christmas, every year usually missing someone at the family table, and that makes us sad. Buy food, drinks, lights, gifts and more, that's a very big expense that some people can not afford.
The best thing about Christmas is to enjoy the little ones in the house, or even the elderly, the illusion of opening gifts, and also buying it, the company of being with the whole family, those dinners and meals that never You would exchange for nothing, rest from studies etc.
In conclusion, I think that no matter how many people are missing, and the expensice prices of some objects , we have to enjoy what we have, because it is a ver nice illusion party.
