Christmas in England

In English speaking countries, children don’t get their presents on Christmas Eve (24 December). Santa comes at night when everyone is asleep. Santa’s reindeer can fly and take him from house to house. They land on the roofs of the houses and then Santa climbs down the chimney to leave the presents under the Christmas tree.

In the morning of Christmas Day (25 December), children usually get up very early to unwrap their presents. Then they have plenty of time to play with their new toys.

Christmas dinner is served in the early afternoon. Most people eat turkey and sprouts and a Christmas pudding.

26 December is called Boxing Day. It hasn’t always been a holiday. People used to go back to work on that day where their bosses gave them little Christmas presents in small boxes. That’s why the day is called Boxing Day.

Nursery Rhyme

Little Jack Horner,
Sat in a corner,
Eating a Christmas pie.
He stuck in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said, »What a good boy am I.«

My meals

Hello my friends.

My name is Luis, your English Teacher. I am from Villanueva Mesía, Granada in Spain. I am 53 years old and I was born in the Albaicin in Granada capital. The Albaicin is a big and old neighborhood very near and opposite of the Alhambra and the Generalife. Next to my old street go past a beautiful typical river: The Darro. This river is tributary of our Genil river.

Now I work at the Cardenal Cisneros School in this village, Villanueva Mesía.

I get up early, approximately at 7 o'clock in the morning and I have a toast with olive oil, coffee with milk and orange juice for breakfast. Sometimes I put butter or peach jam on the piece of toast but I prefer it with olive oil because this breakfast is more healthy. Every day I have breakfast at half past eight more or less and then I go to the school. At the weekends I have breakfast more late around nine o'clock or half past nine in the morning.

I have a piece of fruit, por example an apple, an orange, a banana and sometimes I have some strawberries at break time at school around twelve o'clock.

Then, at half past two in the afternoon I have lunch at home. I am very hungry at this time and I eat all the food that it is on the table. My favourite food is paella and roast chicken with a lot of fried chips and some bread. I always drink some water and I sometimes drink only a cup of a good wine. I often start my lunch with salad and I always finish with a piece of fresh fruit of the day.

I like very much the Mediterranean Food because I think that this kind of meal is very healthy: vegetables and fruit are very important. I try to eat 5 pieces of fruit and vegetable a day.

I have a cup of tea or a cup of coffe with milk with a pair of biscuits at six o'clock in the afternoon. It is very good for me to have somethig at this time, so I can continue work better.

Finally, I have dinner around ten o´clock. My dinner is very light: a salad, some cheese or york ham and another piece of fruit or yogurt. It is very important for me don't eat a lot at night because I can sleep better with my empty stomach: my dreams are wonderful!
