Making our first Spanish Christmas feel more Christmassy

fishandchips

This year for the first time in 3 winters, we won’t be going back to the UK for Christmas. So I’ve taken to making this Christmas feel as normal as possible. We’re going to the UK at the end of next month and so will be getting all the presents, decorations and a real tree thanks to early availability from the Tree Warehouse in Paignton, Devon.

We ‘ve also ordered our 2 children a letter from Santa each (SantaLetter2011.com). At £6.99 including free delivery to our home in Ibiza they represent good value and I’m hoping will encourage the kids to get in the Christmas spirit which is something I feel is slightly different in Spain.

The OH is also considering a snow machine . Does anyone else have any tips for making Christmas in Ibiza feel … well more Christmassy? :)

Hello, my name is Isabel and I have one daughter of 7 years. We are spanish people from Ibiza and I speak a little english but my daughter doesn't speak english and I would like to find a family with english children living in Ibiza.
If your children don't speak spanish and you want to contact with me and say me is can be a good idea for them, please say me something and we can speak about that.

Thank you.
Isabel
