Christmas is a very important date around the world.
All families are together to celebrate this date like a union, love
and peace time.
Specifically in the USA it is a more

significant date because people go
out to buy not only gifts for their
friends and family but also food is
abundant.
 The weather is another important point, because snow falls in the USA in December,
but in Ecuador the weather is simply cold, so in the USA it is impossible for people to
work in peace and have a vacation time. This does not happen in Ecuador because
here you can only have vacations on December 24 and 25
