Spain

2. My family is very lively but it is too difficult
to stay together at Christmas. Because of
that, most of them were travelling
on Xmas Eve.

3. This year I had
dinner in my
granny's house
with my parents.
Granny is very
lovely and she
cooks very well.
She uses to cook
at Christmas roast
beef with
potatoes and cod
with sauce in her
clay pots.
She thought
clay pots are
better tan
pans

4. This is my granny's kitchen. It is a coal stove
which nowadays are old fashioned. She makes
her delicatessens in this kitchen.

5. At Christmas Eve we ate ham, cheese and smoked meat, and
Granny cooked pate. After that we had many sweets (they
were cooked by Granny too, of course)

6. At Xmas morning my parents and me had our breakfast
and then we went to my grandpa's house. I met my
aunts and uncles there too.

7. Uncle Alberto loves
cooking and his
speciality is paella
so we ate paella and
shellfish on 25th
Dec. After that we
had sweets and
coffee.
