Merry Christmas!!

Hi guys,

Today's 28 of December and last 24 here in Catalunya we have one tradition; el Tió.

Here these day is very special for all of children because we put one trunk (with his face, eyes, nose, legs... and one red "barretina"(can you see the image)) and put food and drink as if it was alive.

This tradition started when we haven't got heating and we only have (fire of land). We were putting trunks in the fire because we had cold. But this trunk with time evolved and now is like that..
In one moment we make shit to the trunk successively, hitting to the "tió". On 8 of december we start to give it some food and we cover it with one blanket. The tió likes teh same food that to the animals: carob, pumpkin, etc and vegetablis.

Before in 25 of December (the night of NADAL) the people were putting the tió in the fire because the tió had to shit when it was lit. But nowadays in the house doesn't have fire and we don't put the tió in the fire, now we put the tió in the floor.

In the tradition the tió don't shit a gif things but it shit some sweets or the handstand for the crib but also shit things small food; spanish nougat. For demostrate that he doesn't want to shit more, he shit one sardine well salty, a garlic, onion, or he peet in the floor.

Play-back

Guys,

Last weekend I went to l'Armentera to watch a play-back for "La Marató".

In the playback you could see the people of the town. Young people or the old people.

The first song was "Oh happy day" with all the people. I have one film of this song and soon I will put this film here because you can see it.

This spectacle during two days: on Saturday at 21.30h-01.00h for the old people and Sunday for young people at 16.30h- 20.00h.

In the playback you could see the most of song were of 1970..more or less but also we could see songs of nowadays for example; Natalia (que no puede ser).

Also you could see songs for example Rocío Durcal (Me gustas mucho) and more and more songs..

Last year "La Marató" said that when the presenter said "el cor" we had to say "no avisa!" because the last "La Marató" was for people with problems in their hearts. But this year "La Marató" was for people with serious problems in their mind.

And this year when the presenter said "doncs" we had to say "Noooo" I don't know this slogan..

Some songs were very enterteining because when you could see old people in the stage and getting up the skirt you couldn't stop laughing.

Next year I will see you there, okey?

You can give your donations until January 31 in "La Caixa"

Pont.

Hi people!
Today is Wednesday and I remember last weekend when I was at home with my boyfriend, my parents and my brother.
Last Sunday I went to Armentera with Marti. At night we went to "Café Catalunya" because there we have all our friends and we had to take Marti's brother's car.

When we arrived in Viladamat we met more friends and danced all night. I met MªRosa because she was dancing in the middle of the dance floor. I was on the corner of dance floor. In one moment she took my hand and dragged me in the middle of the dance floor. Marti looked at me and asked:

- Wuoo! Do you know her?
- No! she's crazy.
- Well, it's good news, she knows you, jaja!

Finally, we went with Martin's brother's car in his house and at 5.00h we were in our bed.

Next morning we get up at 13.00 and in these moment his mother shouted:

-Childrens!! we have our food in the table!! get up, get up..come!

see you*
