NÃ³s por cÃ¡ vamos andando, este Natal foi passado em casa da minha mÃ£e e como de costume comemos o tradicional bolo Rei, os sonhos, lampreia de ovos, etc, foi pena o meu irmÃ£o estar a trabalhar mas estava cÃ¡ o meu fillho e os meus irmÃ£os pequenos. Como Ã© de tradiÃ§Ã£o abrimos as prendas hÃ¡ meia noite, apesar de nÃ£o serem muitas foi engraÃ§ado, as crianÃ§as divertiram-se que Ã© o que importa.
Espero que o teu Natal tambÃ©m tenha sido agradÃ¡vel e que este novo ano te traga tudo de bom.

Translation English Translated by lilian canale	Target language: English 31-12-2008 We are doing fine here, this Christmas was held at my mom's and as usual, we had the traditional "Bolo Rei", the "sonhos", "lampreia de ovos" etc. It was too bad my brother had to work, but my son and little brothers were here. As usual, we opened the presents at midnight, although they were not many, it was fun, the children enjoyed it, that's what matters. I hope your Christmas has been pleasant too and that this new year brings you all the best.
Remarks about the translation	'bolo rei', 'sonhos' and 'lampreia de ovos' have no translation. They are pieces of typical Portuguese delicatesse.

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Hi edwhoardo, "Ã‰ uma pena" is an idiomatic phrase that corresponds to: "It's too bad", in English. Therefore: foi pena = it was too bad CC: edwhoardo

	Heddy Number of messages: 2	Por aqui estamos bem. Passamos este Natal em casa da minha mÃ£e, e como hÃ¡bito comemos o tradicional bolo Rei, os sonhos, a lampreia de ovos,etc. Contudo, foi desagradÃ¡vel o meu irmÃ£o ter de ir trabalhar. Felizmente o meu filho e os meus irmÃ£os mais novos estiveram comigo. Como de costume,abrimos as prendas Ã meia noite, apesar de nÃ£o terem sido muitas. Foi interessante, as crianÃ§as gostaram e isso Ã© o mais importante. Espero que o teu Natal tambÃ©m tenha sido agradÃ¡vel e que este ano novo todos os teus objectivos sejam concretizados.
