• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

In Spain Christmas celebration es very similar to your Christmas.
The first thing, on the 25th of December, we receive Santa Clause's presents under the Christmas tree.
The Secondo thing, on the 6th of January we receibe presents of the three wise men.
The three wise men put more presents than Santa Claus because the presents are more expensive.

In Christmas I spend my time with my family. On 6th 7th and 8th of December, me and my family decorate our house with a big tree, some light and a I put the big crib. I like do it because I think it is very amusing and funny.
On 24th of December we do many things. In the morning my mum and me make different kind of desserts. About two o’clock in the noon, my parents, my brothers and come out, to a bar or to a restaurant with friends to wish Merry Christmas. In the afternoon, we go to my grandparent’s house, there are my uncles and my cousins. After that we return home, finish the dinner and give little presents like socks or gloves or something like this. We call this celebration Christmas Eve.
On 25th we made a lunch, and some of my uncles come to my house to congratulate the Christmas.
On 31st of December (New Year’s Eve) my family make the dinner in the afternoon and after we go to my grandparent’s house to have some time with them. After that we return to house and have dinner. At 12 o’clock we eat 12 grapes with the chimes. And after, we phone the family to congratulate the New Year or we go out to have a party with smart clothes.
In the afternoon on 5th of January we go to the ride with a lot of colour and some characters from different cartoons or series. This night we go to bed early and put some milk and water in the living room because this night the Three Kings come to your house and put a lot of presents and sweets under the tree.
I have a good time in Christmas, I enjoy a lot with this!
See you later and write me soon! :)
