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.

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

This is my granny's kitchen. It is a coal stove

which nowadays are old fashioned. She makes

her delicatessens in this kitchen.

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)

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.

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.
