Country: Estonia
Sport: Discus
"If everything goes to plan, I can spend Christmas in Hawaii again this year. If we make it to Hawaii then we will play some American football on the 24th and right after that I will be flying to Estonia to spend the holidays with my family."
"I haven't had time to think about what to want for Christmas yet, but my main wish is that I could spend it with my family and friends. Also I wish it could be a really nice cold and white Christmas, because that will make it even more exciting. Finally, I wish to go to a good sauna!"
"I can't think of the best present I've ever received because they have all been good and meaningful. It's really hard to have a bad Christmas present because everything that someone gives me is important to me."
"My favourite food to have at Christmas is blood sausage, sauerkraut with potatoes and a juicy steak. Delicious."
Country: Guatemala
Sport: Laser Sailing
"This year for Christmas I will be at home in Guatemala celebrating with my family. I can't think of anything I would like for Christmas because my parents give me so much already and I can not ask them for anything more, but last year I got a Scott Road Addict bike, which was really cool."
"In Guatemala we eat tamales at Christmas, which is a dish with a pastry filled with meat and vegetables. They are so good. I love to eat them late at night."
Country: Chinese Taipei
Sport: Table Tennis
"I will stay in Taiwan for Christmas and spend my time with my family. I might stay at home and take a rest or go out and celebrate with my friends. My favourite food to have at Christmas is Italian food because it is the best."
"The top three things on my Christmas list this year are to travel overseas with my family, a car and an iPhone 4."
"The best present I have ever received at Christmas was a very cool watch. The worst present was cake. I do not like it."
Country: Peru
Sport: Greco-Roman Wrestling
"This Christmas I will be at home with my mother. We have Christmas dinner at her house where the best thing to eat is pork. I will see everyone on Christmas day - my dad, brother, sister, nephew - and we will be all together."
"This year for Christmas I would like a spare TV for my room to watch movies, some clothes, trainers, and ever since I was a child I wanted a really cool remote control car. I got one when I was little, but it had a cord attached to it and the cord was too small so I had to run behind it and it made me so mad because my friends had ones without a cord. One day I cut the cord because I thought then it would be like my friends' cars, and I could race with them but because I cut it the car was broken and wouldn't work at all. It made me so sad."
Country: Colombia
Sport: BMX
"This year for Christmas I will be at home celebrating with my family. We have a big barbeque at home every year to celebrate. I love it!"
"The top three items on my Christmas list are to be with my family for the whole holiday, for my all of my dreams in BMX to come true, and any present that my family wants to give me because I will love it if it comes from them!"
"The best Christmas present I've ever received is a funny little animal that talks. It is so funny and I still have it. I always take it with me on my travels to tournaments and competitions. The worst present I received was a huge doll. I don't like dolls and this one was so big. It made me so sad."
