Las Posadas

Hola
Today I am going to tell about ‘Posadas’. These are parties, where people celebrate to remember the time when Mary and Joseph asked for shelter in the houses. Here they sing songs, hit the piñata and have fun.
Everybody makes Posadas in their house, and also in schools. This year in my school we sang in English and in Spanish, played, hit the piñata and did many other things. In my class we exchanged gifts. My classmate Juan gave me chocolates and a pair of earrings and I gifted Ferrero Rocher chocholates to Sindell. It was fun. We also ate many kinds of food. We rode the Toro mecanico, which is like a mechanic bull and it goes round and jumps more or less fast, so it’s very easy to fall. It is very much fun.
After the Posada in my school, me and amma went to a posada in the house of one of amma’s friends. They also exchanged gifts. They gifted amma a perfumed powder. We went a little late, but they gave us our bolos, which is a bag in which there are sweets. I also got a bolo in the school.
On Sunday I went to another Posada with Katy, Nasty and Dra. Ana. There we played with other friends as Natalie, Yarik, Anthon and some other boys. We played Twister and other games. We ate Russian food. Also someone dressed as Santa Claus came and sang with us and gave us gifts. He gave me and Katy, Nasty a Nokia cell phone. And also gave many other gifts to the other children. We also saw a movie about robots.
On Monday (18th December) we went to a party for the International Immigrants day organized by Instituto Nacional de Migracion (Mexican Immigration Agency). Many people from different countries came for this party. Some of them were from China, Nicaragua, Cuba, Bolivia, Italy, USA, Spain and many other countries. There appa and amma talked with a Bolivian man, cubans and some Mexicans. The Cubans danced and sang many jolly songs. There were different types of food from many countries. We enjoyed different foods and it was fun. The next day, 0ur photo came in the Mexican newspaper PALABRA.
