Christmas in Spain

Christmas in Spain

Christmas is a very special time of the year.The streets are full of lights and the people walk aroung carrying their shopping bags.Christmas is an important family celebration in Spain.There are several special dates.The first one:Christmas Eve(24th of december) the night in which the whole family gathers around the table to have dinner and celebrate that Jesus was born.Nowadays some people in Spain give each other their presents on Christmas Day(25th of december) because Santa Claus leaves the presents on that night.

The next important date is the 5th of January when the "three wise men" come with gifts for spanish children.In many Spanish towns and villages the City Councils organise some interesting parades in order to impress the kids.These are expecting the presents from the "three wise men" and they find them when they wake up the next morning,on the 6th of January.

The mistreatment

Unfortunately mistreatment to women is very common nowadays. It is also called "genre violence"

There are two types of mistreatment: physical and psychological: insults, humiliations, etc...

Ill-treated women are usually around 40 years old and 65 % of them are married or in the separation process.It is surprising the number of ill-treated women who are single(17 %). A high percentage (almost 70 %) does not have the primary studies or only the secondary school certificate. The majority of the women do not have a job so they are afraid to get separated.

Many women do not denounce their aggressors for fear that they kill them, but other women who denounce them are not sufficiently protected and the aggressors continue attacking their victims.In other cases they do not denounce because they have children and are afraid that they're going to be attacked by the aggressor.

The safety of the women threatened is based on the protection of the victims by keeping the aggressor far, but this is very difficult and many women die for not having the sufficient attention.

My Routine..

..My RouTinE..
I usually wake up at seven o'clock on weekdays but in the weekends I wake up later.

First I go to get dressed and after I have breakfast.

Normaly I go to school at 8:45 because it takes me only 10 minutes to get there.

When I finish school at 4:30 I wait untill my mum or dad comes for me.

I arrive to my house at 5:00 more or less.On monday and wednesday I have English after-school activity from 5:30 to 7:00.

Then I do my homework,I get a shower,I watch TV(if I have time) and I finally I go to bed....
