As always, I would appreciate any help / correction in order to improve my Klingon. I also have some questions:

1. I've discussed in another thread the difference between *'eSpanya' QISmaS* and *'eSpanya'ngan QISmaS*. If I've understood it well, I think I could use both here with a similar meaning, but I've chosen *'eSpanya' QISmaS* because I wanted to present the traditions in the context of the country's culture, rather than focusing on the people. Was it right?

2. I wanted to use *'eSpanya''e'* as topic, but then I couldn't decide where I should place it. It's a noun with a Type 5 suffix. Time expressions come first. So I placed it after the time expression. However, my tendency was to say it at the beginning, before the time expression. Would that be right / possible?

3. In */Bethlehem/ velqa'mey nu' 'oH lurDechmaj'e'*, I've decided to use *'oH* since the idea is *As for our tradition, IT (the tradition) = miniatures of Bethlehem*, but I'm not sure about it.

4. Can we use *Such* with the meaning *to visit the miniatures*? Maybe *bej* would be better?

5. Am I telling dates / time correctly? I don't feel very confident with this. When should we tell time as hundreds?

6. Is it possible to say something like *jar wa' jaj vaghDIch ram* for *the night of January 5th*?
