The humankind had made winter celebrations since former times. Christmas celebrations had old roots in ancient times when humans celebrate winter solstice. Afterwards was been given a religious meaning. All the cultures and civilizations have big celebrations and Christmas is perhaps the biggest one. Taking into account this old meaning Christmas is the celebration of the new life, of the complete change, because after the winter, the cold, and death, will arrive the spring, the warm, the new life. In my opinion that meaning of Christmas has sense whether or not you have religious believe.
I think that we all would need to break something with the past, to change in individual and collective sense and Christmas is the annual period when we have new wishes, good feelings, and new hopes.
Another think is that Christmas celebration has degenerated in a shopping holidays, the biggest feast of the consumer society: shopping, shopping and more shopping....and that are dreadful.

About the war
War is the greatest menace of the mankind. War is death and destruction of everything; the biggest tragedy in the world. The reasons of the war are economical reasons, willing of domination, hate...that is the real evil part of the mankind.
Furthermore, to realize that the powerful people in democratic countries (theoretical democratic) who have in their hands the decisions that affected to everybody, lie, mislead, manipulate, in order to carry out the attacks, the war, is terrifying. I find repugnant those kinds of people.
I find terrible the manipulation of people opinion in order to make people to believe that the war is inevitable and it’s also terrible that people who are against the war are ignored o ridiculed.
I’m strongly against the war and I strongly believe that citizens could make something.
Against the war: Education! Education! Education! and other things...

Some homework I don't know if I shoud put it here
Thinking in disasters that happened in Spain I think I have to emphasise in the “Prestige” disaster. The Prestige was an oil tanker. On November 2002 the Prestige filled on board with 77,000 metric tons of fuel oil was sailing near the Galicia coast. It was a very sever storm: heavy rains, high winds over 120 km/h, and very turbulent sea (that kind of storms are not infrequent in winter in the part of the Galicia coast that is called “Costa de la Muerte” that means “Dead Coast”).
The ship began to spill fuel and the Spanish government made the decision to move the ship away from the coast, that was a very terrible mistake because from the new position of the ship, the ship was still more beaten by the storm, the ship broke, the oil was spread into a long “fuel front” and carried by the strong winds to the coastline of Galicia, as a consequence the black tide of highly toxic fuel reached the cost. The oil destroyed one of the richest areas in Europe for fishing and one of the most beautiful places in Galicia. Hundreds of beaches were destroyed the wildlife was damaged and the economy of the area seriously affected.
The disaster has a great impact in the Spanish society; many people went to Galicia to make volunteer work cleaning the beaches and rocks.
The disaster had also political consequences because it was shown the incompetence of the political leaders.

About myself.
“Our lives are a mixture of different roles; most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is”. I read the aforesaid sentence I don’t remember when...For me, that balance is family, work, friends, enjoy as much as possible whatever the life brings to you and to do everything one can to make the world a little better.
I’ve been a teacher for many years. I have loved my work trying to do it with accuracy and responsibility. I’m very happy for all that I have learned from the books, from the specific technics I had to use, from my colleagues to whom I had to work with. I’m very happy for the fortune of being among so many young people who have been my students.
I have many friends. I love them. I think it’s a fortune to have friends with which you can share knowledge and feelings.
I like very much discover new places in the world. I like travelling. Travelling increases your knowledge, opens your mind.
I like cinema very much. I have seen many films not specially the more commercial ones. It would be very long to say which ones I like the best.
I like very much classical music and other kind of music too.
The family is very important for me. I understand the family as a space of love, understanding and tolerance.
I have always believed that the mankind had made progresses: think in the human rights, in the progress of the science in the progress in all kind of tools that humans have in order to make their lives better.But I must to say that I’m now more pessimistic regarding on the problems of the global world where we live, with the global warming, with the wars, with thousands of people starving or dying of diseases that could be easily solved ( maybe I’m wrong. Do you believe that thinks are going to turn out well? Please help me with new arguments).
I would like not to lose the enthusiasm for learning. I want to be engaged in life forever.
