Pedro:

My favorite Holiday is Christmas. My family is Christian. For this date, in church plays
were prepared. We sang Christmas carols where everyone could participate. To nish this
celebration, we had a Christmas dinner where we shared gifts, on a day full of Joy. It's
one of the good times I remember from my childhood and adolescence.

Jaime:

When I was ten years old, my dream was to have a piano, so I asked for one for
Christmas. My parents always hid the presents in the front yard. On Christmas night I
started looking for gifts, I found clothes, toys, socks, everything in the yard. My parents
repeated from home, "there are still left, we saw it, keep looking." It was two in the
morning, three in the morning, and I was still searching, only at four in the morning did I
nd the piano in a bucket, the bad thing is that I couldn't play with my friends in the
street, it got too late.

 Part two:

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated predominantly in North America, and it possesses a
different meaning in each of the countries where it's acknowledged.

In the United States, Thanksgiving is a federal holiday (meaning all government

employees and most private employees are given a day off of work), and always takes
places on the Fourth Thursday in November, regardless of the date.

The holiday signi es the immense progress made by pilgrims, or some of the rst travelers
to North America, at Plymouth Plantation circa 1621.

—————————————

It was at this time that the hungry and weary Pilgrims were taught (by Native Americans)
how to grow and produce food on North America's unique terrain. Once they'd grown (and
caught) an abundance of food, the Pilgrims were expectedly thankful, and they celebrated
alongside the Native Americans who provided them with such valuable assistance.
President Abraham Lincoln initiated the contemporary practice of Thanksgiving by calling
for a "day of Thanksgiving" during one of his Civil War addresses.

In America today, Thanksgiving remains rmly engrained in its historical roots, and is
widely considered to be a day for giving thanks for good food, good times, and family.
Thanksgiving dinner generally consists of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuf ng, vegetables,
gravy, and ample desserts. To be sure, indulging in abundance is a cornerstone of the
holiday, as doing so could only be possible if one possesses abundance.

Possess -> poseer

Pilgrims -> peregrino

Engrained -> grabado

Stuf ng -> to stuff -> rellenar (stuffed turkey) stuf ng a turkey

Indulging -> Indulgencia

Cornerstone ->

Acknowledge -> reconocer
