I live in Uruguay, in the Southern Hemisphere. At Christmas, the weather is good and I go to the beach with my family. It's fantastic! On Christmas' Eve, we make a snack of cold cuts, we see the fireworks and we receive gifts from Father Christmas. Then, we dance in the street and celebrate with our friends. I like Christmas very much.

I'll be right with you...
