A chance to celebrate Halloween

Last month we were invited to spend Hallow-

een with our friends in PEGKAP. It was de-
cided that B2 would be the lucky class. After
careful planning and preparation, the big day
finally came! We started with face-painting at
school and then we set off! We had two beau-
tifully carved pumpkins, helium red, black
and white balloons, a spider web target to play
“pin the spider on the web”, lots of materials
to do a variety of arts and crafts and all the neces-
sary ingredients to decorate special Halloween
cookies and plenty of…..toilet paper! The get-
together started with a very interesting presenta-
tion in order to inform the people there what Hal-
loween is all about as they had no idea whatso-
ever! Then we played “pin the spider on the web” and
after that we had a small break for refreshments. After
the break, we started the art-and-craft activities as
well as the decoration of the Halloween cookies. Eve-
rybody worked in groups. There were candles, straw
skeletons, bats, ghosts, a wide range of deco-
rations and jewellery! As you can see, a
whole table was filled with our creations! Fi-
nally, we played “wrap the mummy”. The
girls won!! Before we left, we ate the cookies
we had prepared and everyone was allowed
to take a small memento with them!! We re-
turned at school at 1.30. Everybody was very
happy!!!

Let's find out how Christmas is celebrated in
the United States!!
Christmas holds a great signifi-
cance for the people of the
United States. And this is a
piece of information we must
look into!! Christmas day in the
US is celebrated on 25th of De-
cember every year and it cele-
brates the birth of Jesus Christ
much like in other parts of the
world.
Here, the celebration is accom-
panied by the winter hues. Peo-
ple get into the celebratory
mode much before the Christ-
mas day actually arrives.
Christmas trees are put up in
houses and offices, decorations
are in full swing be it the street
or the home, people exchange
gifts with friends and family
and they exchange gifts with
each other. Doesn’t a Christmas
trip to the US sound interest-
ing?

Christmas in JAPAN
Encouraged by commerce, the secular celebration of Christmas is popular in Japan, though Christmas is
not a national holiday. Gifts are sometimes exchanged. Christmas parties are held around Christmas
Day: Japanese Christmas cake, a white sponge cake covered with cream and decorated with strawber-
ries, is often consumed and Stollen cake, either imported or made locally, is widely available. Christmas
lights decorate cities, and Christmas trees adorn living areas and malls.Christmas Eve has become a
holiday for couples to spend time together and exchange gifts. A successful advertising campaign in the
1970s made eating at KFC around Christmas a national custom. Its chicken meals are so popular during
the season that stores take reservations months in advance.

In America there is a trend
called ''ugly'' Christmas
sweaters. You might think
''How can they be a trend if
they are ugly?''...Actually they
are not even ugly. The trend
calls them like that. For this
specific reason they are very
expensive. Their price calls
from 25-50$!! But today I'm
here to give you some ideas to
do them yourselves.
 Firstly, you can use felt or
fabric to create
silhouettes of dogs, presents,
trees or whatever your heart
desires.
 Also you can use fabric
glue or stitch your creations
on.
 Secondly, for some glam ,
you can add some tinsel or
some colorful ribbon.
 But lastly if you want
something extra or you want
to gift your sweater, take a
fabric marker and write
your or your friends name
or a very common used
word for some personal
touches.
 And….
that's it!!! It is a very simple
and cheap alternative for a
Christmas sweater. However,
this is not only for Christmas,
you can adapt the ideas for a
different season or holiday.
Anyway, I hope you got an idea
of what you can give to your
loved ones for Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas Everyone !!!
