| 1. Natal "Christmas" |
| Natal is always celebrated on December 25th in Brazil and usually on 24th people have half day of work, and then on 25th they rest all day. |
| Eu vou visitar a minha família no Natal. "I'm going to visit my family on Christmas." |
| 2. Papai Noel "Santa Claus" |
| Papai Noel is the most awaited person during Christmas time for kids because he's the one that gets them present. |
| Esse ano, o Papai Noel trouxe uma boneca para mim. "This year, Santa Claus brought me a doll." |

| So pisca-pisca means “blinking”, yeah, and this is the light they use during the Christmas time. |
| Eu vou colocar pisca-pisca na minha árvore de Natal. "I'll put light Christmas decorations on my Christmas tree." |
| 4. chester "Chester, special type of chicken" |
| Chester is my favorite meat during Christmas time in Brazil, because it's kind of a chicken, but it's more juicy, and it's very delicious, you have to try it! |
| Nós sempre fazemos chester em casa no Natal. "We always cook chester at home for Christmas." |
| 5. amigo secreto "Secret Santa" |
| Amigo secreto is kind of a game we do during Christmas, especially for big families you have to get presents for everyone, so you could just have a Secret Santa, you just get present to one person, and that person to another person, and everyone gets a present at the end. |
| Nós vamos sortear o amigo secreto na semana que vem. "We'll raffle for Secret Santa next week." |
