Summer holidays passed long ago, but... 

 Christmas is here!! It is the best time of the year to enjoy with the people around us, spend time with the family and friends and to be generous with people. And it is also a good time to travel and have a rest.

I like looking at Christmas decorations in the streets and people wishing  happy Christmas. In my family we have many traditions. We put the Christmas tree in my house and my sisters and I decorate it. On Christmas Eve, my mum usually cooks a different and special dinner and we play Christmas carols in the background. We always light the fireplace.

When I was a child I used to make a big toy list, but now I make a list just with two or three things that I need. At Christmas I used to travel with my family. We love going on a little trip for three or four days. We visit Christmas markets and eat typical sweets like nougats and polvorones.

To sum up, Christmas is my favourite time of the year. It´s a magic and special time when you can spend time with your loved ones. I also like making some New Year´s resolutions for the next year!

New coming threat for our teenagers: TEENAGE GAMBLING

 Gambling consists of betting money or something of value with the intention of winning money or material goods. Nowadays it is very common to see children gambling. But, is it good? What are the dangers of this?

More and more children are saying they have bet at least once in their lives. Most of the time they are students that try to disconnect from their daily routines and, they find as a kind of entertainment to go to a place where there are machines and other children of their age to bet. They usually play cards for money with friends and then they feel bad about it.

On the other hand, bookmakers are a dangerous form of leisure which may result into addiction in the most serious cases . Experts show that students between 15 and 17 years old suffer problems with the game. Sometimes I go to a bar with my family and I can see machines and children playing without the attention of their parents.

To sum up, bookmakers should be forbbiden and I think that the families should pay more attention to their children.

 MORE DEMANDING JOBS AND STRESSFUL LIVES

 Nowadays, jobs are so important in our lives and they are more and more demanding. It has been shown that spending more than thirty nine hours a week can produce stress and even is a risk to wellbeing.

In Spain and any part of the world we give too much importance to jobs and sometimes we set aside our social life, our family and we stop doing the things we like. Sometimes we think that we stop working but we continue to do it. For example, many people go out of the office and they revise the emails in their mobile phones or they get up and the first thing they do is look at the phone to check if they have any email.

People work a lot and they get very stressed. Furthemore, working excessively can bring health problems. In fact, there is a relation between overwork and cardiovascular problems and according to investigations there are more people who work for more than 13 hours a day die than people who works 11 hours.

To sum up, working too much is bad for our health and I think we spend a lot of time working and we do not pay attention to other things. In my opinion, the job in Spain is not valued enough and the labor journeys should be reduced.
