How do you celebrate Christmas?

Hi everybody!
I've been having some tests, that's why I haven't been posting.
My class has been talking about celebrations here in Argentina. Some people talked about christmas, and a lot of people were asking themselves...
HOW DO PEOPLE IN (COUNTRY) CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS?
(The countries they mentioned were a lot!).

In Argentina: we start the celebration from 9 or 10pm until it's midnight so we can exchange presents and cards.

My question for you is... how do you celebrate christmas? What do you usually do for christmas?

Tell me in your comments!

Survival

Hi everybody!
I want to share this story with all of you.
Hope you enjoy it. :)

Teeenager Brian Robison was travelling from the USA to Canada to see his father.He was the only passenger in a small plane , high above the Canadian mountains , when suddenly the pilot had a hurt attack and died!
Brian was terrified.Below him he could see a lake.He turned the plane towards the lake and landed on the water.He got out of the plane before it sank.
The next morning he was cold and hungry.The boy from New York only had the clothes he was wearing and a small hatchet (a present from his mother).He remember a TV programme about how to survive in the wild.
He started a fire with wood , he made a shelter and he ate fruit and fish.
One day , a few weeks later , Brian was fishing by the lake when he saw a plane above the trees.
He made a fire and the pilot saw the smoke.
Afer fifty-four days in the Canadian woods , Brian´s amazing adventure was finally over.

The Castle at Tintagel

The little village of Tintagel is in the north coast of Cornwall , in southwest England. Its castle is one of the most famous castles in Britain. People say it was the home of king Arthur in the 50th century and that the ghost of his helper, Merlin the wizard, visits the cave under the castle.

This is a legend I found interesting and wanted to share it with you.
Hope all of you are OK,
PRISCILA
