EASTER

 

Christmas Cracker    

This year we have maden crackers in English and we haven’t done the invisible friend. The crackers are typical in England on Christmas Eve. That day each person find next to his plate a cracker, before eating they sing a carol and then open it.

There are people who buy a cracker and there are people who make homemade.

This tradition was established in London in 1847 by Tom Smith, who had a candy store. 

I did the cracker to Rober, I put into lollipops, a chocolate, a paper crown, a joke and two Christmas phrases.

I really enjoyed doing the project of crackers.

 INVISIBLE FRIEND.

 I did a letter to Alejandra, I did it with a red card and gave her a few sweets.  I did the letter in my painting classes. Try to write something nice that she would like, decorate the card to her style and find a photo.

Who made me a letter, was Carla. She did it with a blue giant cardboard, super nice cover, she put the text in a little blue slip and a glued on cardboard packet that could make the slip. 

I love to make the invisible friend in english, because I like to draw and color and it is a way to learn more English.

THE  ORIGIN OF THE CHRISTMAS CARD 

The custom of sending Christmas messages began in English schools, where teachers asked students to write something that had to do with Christmas, and mailed to their home, before leaving for winter break.

And in the year 1843 when Sir Henry Cole, an English inventor in London, had the bright idea of ​​giving his friend, the painter John Calcott Horsley, to design the first postcard with a scene of a happy family gathered around the table , with the caption "a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you."I really found it very interesting to  England postcards hanging in their homes, sent by their familiars and friends with a rope on the wall.
