During the Chinese New Year, people arrange their differences and exchange clothing, gifts and do rituals.

 This takes place in China for two weeks and starts on January 22nd and ends on February 6th.The festival lasts two weeks.In China, there is a New Year`s lantern parade.
In the united states, the Rose Bowl parade is held before a big football match on New Year`s day.

They do not wear costumes but use new clothes to welcome the New Year.

In China there isn`t feast during New Year but there are recipes of future food. 

We would like to go because it is different from our celebration. In Argentina we don`t celebrate New Year like this, but China is special because of  their technology.

Here is the festival of Chinese New Year with fireworks. It is very beautiful.

This is beautiful and looks fun!

There are fireworks because they are celebrating New Year.

They decorate the town.

During Christmas, people have a feast, for example: You can eat meat, chicken, special salads, etc. In the December  24th it is Christmas Eve and on December 25th it is Christmas Day.
We like this celebration because we can spend time with our family and they give us news presents.
 You can see fireworks at 12 o`clock and you can open your presents. The presents that you can get during Christmas are: toys, for example a robot, clothes, for example a t-shirt.

Halloween takes place on October 31st. It lasts for one day and it is a traditional festival in Ireland. It Is the day of the dead.  Halloween is celebrated in many countries.
Halloween originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people made bonefires and wore costumes of ghosts.

On this day, people dress up and go trick or treating. People knock on the door and say "trick or treat". If the person who opens the door says “trick”, you do something wrong and  do tricks.  If the person says “treat”, they give you sweets.
Some traditional food:

-Blood soup

-Brain cookies
