CHRISMAS EVE

Christmas Eve has always been my favorite night of the year. Each December, 24th, my family would gather in a big, jolly reunion to have dinner, exchange gifts and catch up. It would all happen at Grandma’s.


Uncle Victor would wear a Santa Claus costume and enter the house with a big bag of presents.

Aunt Bea would prepare the salads and my mom would cook an oven-roasted turkey that was to die for. Grandpa always bought Christmas candy for everyone and my dad used to make Eggnog for the adults.

We spent all of our Christmas Eves this way until I turned eighteen and moved to Campus. That year, my grandparents sold the house and my uncle, aunt and cousins .We haven’t had a family Christmas since then but I can always remember those magical nights on December the 24th and share my memories with them on a big, jolly, on-line chatroom.

MY BEST FRIEND

I have many friends, but one of them is the most special person I’ve ever met. He’s called Judit and she's really family to me. I can tell him everything and she feels she can tell me everything too.

From that day, we never parted away. We keep in touch every day, even if it’s just to say hello, and we meet on weekends to catch up about the things that are going on in our lives. She always knows about some exciting show or concert and so we also go out a lot.

She’s an excellent cook, so he calls me over to his flat every time he wants to try a new recipe. He specializes in pasta, which is also my favorite kind of food. A perfect combination!

I am not much of a cook myself, but I love showing him new music he didn’t know. That’s why I always go to his place with a bag full of CDs that I buy second hand at the fair. Those are the places where you can find the most unexpected things, and we usually have a good laugh at some of the things I pick.

MY  FAVOURITE TV SHOW

My favorite TV show is called Sabrina. It’s about a witch in her teen years and how magic changes her life. It is a very funny comedy and I watch it every day when I come home from school.

The main characters are Sabrina, of course, and her black talking cat, Salem. Salem wasn’t always a cat. He used to be a witch too, but he tried to take over the world and he was sentenced to being a house pet for some centuries. This is possible since witches live for many hundreds of years.Sabrina’s aunts, Hilda and Zelda, are more than six hundred years old. The four of them live together in a big house in Massachusetts, where Sabrina attends High School. She has a boyfriend called Harvey and a best friend called Valerie. Both of them are mortals and they can’t do any magic.


As a witch and as a teenager, Sabrina has to face many different obligations. She has to study for her school exams, she has to be a good friend to Harvey and Valerie and she also has to study to get her witch’s license. But she also has a lot of fun. I wish I could do magic to!
