My last celebration (by José Miguel Maimó)

My last celebration was in Christmas, on the twenty fifth of December 2009. Three days before Christmas I travelled to Barcelona by airplane.I was very happy, I was looking forward to see my family who live in Barcelona. I travelled with my parents, my uncles and my cousins. We were going to celebrate Christmas in the house of my cousins' grandmother.

We went to a town called Vilanova i la Geltru. It is situated thirty minutes from Barcelona, my family had rented a car because it was necessary. And then we went to the grandmother's house which was situated on a mountain near Barcelona, the area was called Collserola. We arrived at nine o´clock, it was early, there was nobody in the house, only my cousins' grandmother. Some people were arriving to the house, my cousins grandmother has seven children, three girls and four boys. We were a lot in their house. My cousins and me were bored, then, we played cards, as soon as we finished the game we had dinner, after dinner all the people sang Christmas carols, and some people played instruments. When we stopped singing Christmas carols the cousins' grandmother gave us gifts. I was very happy because I had a lot of gifts.

At two o´clock in the morning we returned to Vilanova.

It was a fantastic celebration!
