My favourite festival


My favourite festival is Christmas. Many years ago, it's Jesus birth. Some people came to visited him.

I like this festival because it's near to my birthday(my birthday is in 9/12), and this festival has a long long hoilday! Ha!

I always watch fireworks with my parents that day.
