MERRY CHRISTMAS!

2nd Bachillerato and 4th E.S.O.

Christmas is a wordlwide celebrated Christian festival. And when December reaches its climax, Christian communities around the world celebrate Christmas in different ways ( very different sometimes ). In this exercise you will find out lots of different aspects about Christmas in many countries around the world which share the same language, English, and yet are separated by thousands of miles and sometimes unique traditions . This makes them different, but at the same time they share a common core of celebrations. Both differences and similarities are worth being discovered. Herminio J. García-Riaño Fernández ( Escuela Oficial de Idiomas de Langreo - Spain )

1. Choose an English-speaking country. Look for information on how they celebrate Christmas, and write a short paragraph on them (including festivities, traditions, typical food, presents, etc.) comparing them to those in Spain.
