Evaluation

Writting this blog has been really fun and i wish we had done more because i think is a great way to practice your grammar and writting skills, you can realize what words and sentences you have trouble with and work on them. And also  you can improve your vocabulary and your really start to think in a different language. Another reason of why i think this kind of activity is great is because if you can't come to class you can still do it in your home or when you have free time so you still get the points for the activity. 
I feel that my writting skills have improve a lot compared to when we start writting the blogs because in the beginning i used to have a lot of problems to express myself and now i feel like is more easy for me to write in english and i feel more confident about my writting skills in general. I also feel like my vocabulary and grammar have improve during this time too. 
For future blogs i think it would be fun to write something about your hobbies and things you like to during your free time, like what sports you play or what places you like to go.

Christmas

Christmas is my favorite holiday and i usually spend it with my family. One of the traditions we have is that in Christmas eve we have dinner all together in my uncles house a and we wait until midnight to open the gifts. We also have lunch together in Christmas day and we see some of rhe family that was not in the dinner the previus night.
I think consumerism in Christmas is not really ok. For me Christmas is a holiday to spend with your family and friends, not to worry about materials things. I don't compleain about the gifts, i enjoy them as much as anybody else but i don't think that's all this holiday is about. I'm not christian so i don't really care for the religious meaning of Christmas but i still get to enjoy the holiday with my loved ones and i try to make this holiday more about sharing than consumerism.
I don't really give Christmas presents to my family, mainly because i save all my money in the bank but sometimes i give presents to my friends, nothing expensive but i make sure is still something they will enjoy. 
For Christmas i don't really care what people give me even if is something i don't like or that is not really my style and i will never use it, i will still we thankful that they thought of me and that they care enought to buy me something for Christmas.
