Chilean national holiday

Well, in my family usually we celebrate this date with typical activities like a barbecue, making empanadas or going to the fondas.  Recently we go to the buin fonda because my brother lives here and the fondas here, I considered is most interesting and cheap that others (like fondas in Parque O´Higgins for example). The day to go out of house is the September 18th, in this day we go to the fondas and the September 19^th we stay in home and make typical food. In this date usually I meet with my friends to play a football match in the afternoon and later we meet in the night to have fun.

Last years, like all past years I do it the same, this 18 and 19 I plan to do a different thing, I don’t know what, but is going to be different. I don´t have a specify favorite national holiday but I think that the best national holiday was when I was a child because in my neighborhood  the people organize a lot of typical activities like ‘carrera de sacos’, ‘palo ensebado’, ‘rayuela’,  spinning top, fly a kite, marbles game, throw the rope and a more activities. People listen to typical Chilean music, cuecas, like ‘El guatón Loyola’, ‘La rosa y el clavel’ and a lot of greatest hits. I think that way to celebrate this holyday is one of the best, because is more Chilean typical and less capitalist and consumerist.

One thing that I miss is dance in the school, not for the make, because I find it very funny dance with choreography and typical clothes (or specify clothes).
