Everything is different when you’re a child: the trees are higher, the colours are brighter, and every new day is more interesting that the last. Even more importantly, some things happen that stay in our memory for a long time. When I was a child I used to play all day long outside. Even when it was raining my friends and I would repair ourselves under the trees and continue our game or when it was snowing we would spend the day building snowmen and having snowball wars, therefore returning home looking like popsicles. The games I used to play the most were hide and seek, hopscotch, capture the flag, soccer and other hand-clap games. I actually used to rarely play on the computer or with videogames. Back in my hometown in Macedonia, the children of the entire town used to play together and we had so much fun.

In this period I no longer have my routine. I take things more quietly and I have time to be with my family and my dog. I want to see many people. In this period I also think about the beautiful things that I will do after the quarantine.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that freedom is one of man’s most important needs, if not the most important one after love. At this time, being like me is certainly not an easy thing, being at home all this time because someone forces me to do it makes me feel like suffocated and often I am down in morals: I miss my habits, my friends and my boyfriend. I try to cheer myself up by keeping busy and keeping in touch with people who are important to me that I can’t see but it’s not easy. Despite all this is a necessary sacrifice for all, it is a moral obligation towards our whole society, also this, knowing that staying at home I can help to save other people, makes me feel better.

# data[].attributes.body
This is certainly not an easy time for anyone my emotions change a little bit depending on the days. There are
days in which I am sad and demotivated and I would not even get out of bed, others instead I am happy ,
In my opinion, we must find something positive in this situation, for example cultivating our own hobbies,
to reflect on ourselves, to be honest unlike other people I don’t mind so much staying at home the only
"problem" is the fact that this quarantine rightly prevents us from leaving home. Unfortunately I do not
have the garden. This is what makes my time a little more difficult. I am confident that this situation will
soon end, because the measures taken are sufficient, I believe, to contain the virus and stop it or at least
reduce it.

# data[].attributes.body
We are living a complicated period all not only Italians but a little Europe in general. Is a deadly virus and many people died in a few weeks. All recommend staying at home not going out, just going out for necessities like go to the market or for medical needs. I fortunately live in the country and so I can go out into the big garden of my house.

Since she closed the school I’m in my room all day doing homework, studying and watching video lessons, this routine is really stressful! The teachers give us a lot of homework and this makes the situation even more difficult….

I hope this situation will end soon and return to my usual routine!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Right now I’ve been locked in my house for two weeks, and I sincerely feel like the air is missing, I miss my life, I miss people very important to me, I miss the freedom to run, embrace, "breathe"... I miss my "boring" everyday life. But then I think we are all in the same situation and the union makes the strength, so we stay home, we resist, that will be all right, Come on Italy.

# data[].attributes.body
this period we are experiencing is very dramatic and difficult, as soon as I heard the news of the first case ascertained in Italy, I became very worried afterwards even more about our Italy of very strong doctors and we well make it. Do you think that those who want to take a path as medical nurses surgeons are people with golden hands who continue to do their job with a smile. I'm sure that after this pandemic we will approach things differently. How to go to eat a pizza go to the cinema or to find the loved one all things that seem abvious to us are not really like this you don't have to discriminate but you have to help yourself in another society time governs the lord so you wouldn't come to pray wait for everything to pass quickly and take too many victims with you.

# data[].attributes.body
in this period I feel very bored and I miss many people. I hope this situation will be resolved soon. besides, I'm not at my house and I don't have much clothes with me. however, I hope that Italy can overcome this silent war and I can't wait to see my friends again

# data[].attributes.body
Right now Italy is facing a serious humanitarian crisis, and all of us citizens are constrained to stay inside our own houses in quarantine. I personally think that this sacrifice is absolutely needed for avoiding an even worse situation that the one we are already living. The deprivation from going outside causes a lot of stress, anxiety and frustration. At the beginning of all this I was really confused trying to understand what's going on and I never thought that the condition would get this critical. Now I'm seriously worried about the future and scared of losing my loved ones. But there's also a positive side, for example I'm focusing more on myself and I'm trying to learn new things too. Another good aspects is that I get more time to spend with my family. Besides all I really hope everything will get better and we can gradually get back to our ordinary lifes.

# data[].attributes.body
All this situation started at the beginning of the year in China and no one of us would have ever imagined that it would go to these levels, especially in our country. In a couple of days we had to change our life's style hoping to contain the virus. I feel that I am doing a lot by not leaving my house, but I want to do more: I feel bad for the people who have lost their lives and for their families and I am very worried about my maternal grandparents from Benevento, who can consider themselves immunosuppressed. I am afraid that something bad will happen and that the worst is yet to come and also I want to go back to school, to my friends and to my life. I'm not only sad, but I'm also disappointed by the behavior of many people, who ignore the emergency and make other people's efforts in vain. But I know that everything will be fine and that we will return to our lives

# data[].attributes.body
This quarantine situation makes me feel a little locked down and lonely even if I am with my family and chatting with my fiends. I feel even less stressed. I have more  time for myself and my passions. I'm not very afraid of this coronavirus, but it would make me angry to die of a virus. Right now it helps me listening to music and playing. I hope everything will be solved soon.

# data[].attributes.body
Between the quarantine and the virus that is expanding more and more my morals is rapidly lowering.I’m afraid of getting infected or infecting other people because this is a virus that spreads very quickly so much that there’s almost no escape.I hope that soon someone will find a solution or a vaccine to this virus and that this will all end soon.

# data[].attributes.body
In the last month, all of Italy is in quarantine because of coronavirus. I am not going out of home since last month, maybe I go out only to bring the dog in the garden. These days, I started to make a lot of things I’ve never done or I haven’t made well, for example, cook. This thing makes me proud of me because I am not staying on the phone or computer for a lot of time and I started to make new experiences. I am happy and I’m feeling so good because I can stay a lot of time with my family, while, before I saw them less because of my school, so I had to study very much. Anyway, I am so sad because I can’t see my friends, but we solve the distance with video chat or calling each other. However I am so bored because sometimes I don’t know what to do, so every time I fell in a nap to let the time going on.

# data[].attributes.body
This quarantine is testing me. I have much melancholy, I miss my friends, my freedom and my daily life. Even being at home makes me feel oppressed.It’s nice to be reunited with family but after a while you add the stress that makes things worse and the environment becomes heavy. Adds to all this also the fear of this virus that endangers all even the people dearest to me.Another feeling I feel is the anxiety, the anxiety of a future if there will be and how it will be after all this. But hope does not lack us as a union also in the past we have managed to overcome other similar things if not worse we can do it also this time everything will be fine.

# data[].attributes.body
Right now I'm confused because I don't know what's going on, melancholy because I miss my family and friends,
I am worried because we are going through a difficult time and we do not know when it will end, I am uncomfortable because I am not used to this situation, I am happy because I am spending more time with my family, I am hopeful because I believe that all this will end soon and I am determined  to do everything possible to overcome this moment.

I never expected this, all of a sudden we had to change our usual habits, and we had to lock ourselves in the house. I’m a little lonely right now, and I’m afraid this can go on for a long time. I really hope things go back to normal.

I don’t even know where to start… I never expected all of this, I never thought we would have to face such a difficult period.

I feel suffocated and I’m afraid a lot. I’m afraid that the situation will continue and above all of losing my loved ones.

I miss going out with my friends, breathing freely, contact with people and… I also miss my school!

I really hope that all of this will solve quickly and in the best way because I am very sad and worried, I can't live like this anymore…

Hopefully everything will be fine!

For some weeks now we Italians have been forced to remain indoors, this because of the very dangerous and very contagious virus that is spreading rapidly throughout the world, so much to be called a "global pandemic". At the moment i have to admit to being a little frightened, especially for my grandparents, who are older and therefore more at risk and also for my mom who worksas a nurse among the doctors on the front line. Despite this i try remain positive and i hope that all this will end very soon.

Christmas has only been widely celebrated in Japan for the last few decades. It's still not seen as a religious holiday or celebration as there aren't many Christians in Japan. Now several customs that came to Japan from the USA such as sending and receiving Christmas Cards and Presents are popular.

In Japan, Christmas in known as more of a time to spread happiness rather than a religious celebration. Christmas Eve is often celebrated more than Christmas Day. Christmas Eve is thought of as a romantic day, in which couples spend together and exchange presents. In many ways it resembles Valentine's Day celebrations in the UK and the USA. Young couples like to go for walks to look at the Christmas lights and have a romantic meal in a restaurant - booking a table on Christmas Eve can be very difficult as it's so popular!

Fried chicken is often eaten on Christmas day. It is the busiest time of year for restaurants such as KFC and people can place orders at their local fast food restaurant in advance! There was an advertising campaign by KFC in the 1974 called 'Kentucky for Christmas!' (Kurisumasu ni wa kentakkii!) which was very successful and made KFC popular for Christmas!

The traditional Japanese Christmas food is Christmas cake, but it's not a rich fruit cake, but is usually a sponge cake decorated with strawberries and whipped cream. The 'shortcake' emoji [🍰] is Japanese Christmas cake!
Christmas is not a national holiday in Japan. However, often schools are closed on Christmas Day. The Emperor's birthday is a national holiday on the 23rd December and there's also a New Year school break. So the holiday break often starts around the 23rd. But most businesses will treat the 25th as a 'normal' working day.

One piece of music is especially famous around Christmas and the end of the year in Japan - Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and its final act the "Ode to Joy". The music is so famous it's simply known as 'daiku' (which means 'number nine'). Choirs all over the country sing it in German. One choir in Osaka, has 10,000 people in it and is known as the 'Number Nine Chorus'! It's thought it was first sung in Japan at Christmas by German prisoners of War in World War One and over the years it became more and more popular.

Another popular activity at Christmas in Japan, especially in Tokyo, is visiting Tokyo Disneyland (which opened in 1983) and seeing all the decorations and the parades. The Christmas 'season' at Tokyo Disneyland is from the 2nd week in November until Christmas Day. On December 26th, all the Christmas decorations are gone, ready for the Chinese New Year celebrations to start! A 'Disney' style Christmas might have also influenced how Japanese culture celebrates Christmas as a fun and romantic time, rather than a religious one. You can find out more about Christmas 2018 at Tokyo Disneyland on the Disney Tourist Blog (goes to a different site).

In Japanese Happy/Merry Christmas is 'Meri Kurisumasu'. And it's written in the two Japanese scripts like this; Hiragana: めりーくりすます; Katakana: メリークリスマス. Happy/Merry Christmas in lots more languages.

Parties are often held for children, with games and dancing. Japanese Christmas Cake is a sponge cake decorated with trees, flowers and a figure of Santa Claus.

In Japan Santa is known as サンタさん、サンタクロース santa-san (Mr Santa). Another Japanese gift bringer is Hoteiosho, a Japanese god of good fortune from Buddhism and not really related to Christmas.

The Japanese New Year (called 'o shogatsu') is more like a traditional Western Christmas. New year is the period where families get together, have a special meal, pray and send greetings cards. New year is celebrated over five days from December 31st to January 4th and is a very busy time.

Turrón

Everyone loves a good Christmas dinner, but nothing is tastier than all the sweet things eaten around the holidays. Although they say that ‘Spain is different’, perhaps this is not the case regarding holiday treats. Spaniards don’t typically eat food that is quite as sugar-laced as Americans, but we’re certain that you won’t be disappointed when you try turrón, which is a sort of ‘oversized candy bar’ that comes in different flavors.

Roscón de Reyes

Although not celebrated in America, and at most a day on the Church calendar, in Spain the traditional gift-giving day in the 6th of January. Known commonly as el Día de Reyes, or just simply Reyes, the religious name is la Epifanía del Señor, which is essentially the same term used in English, which is Epiphany

By this time, you should be full to bursting. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop. This is Christmas. What you need is something to graze greedily on for the rest of the evening, like cattle in the pampas. Seeing as chocolate isn’t ideal for the heat and often ends up a molten mess, the popular choice tends to be turrón (nougat). Mantecol, made with peanuts and sold in block form, is the brand that goes hand-in-hand with an Argentine ChristmasThe first rule of Christmas food in Argentina is: forget the roast turkey and learn to embrace Vitel Thoné (check out this recipe from Katie Metz de Martínez via Hispanic Kitchen). It may sound like a new French mineral water, but Vitel Thoné is actually one of Argentina’s most beloved Christmas dishes, originally hailing from Italy, like many Argentines. It’s made of peceto (veal), topped with a sauce of tuna, mayonnaise and anchovies. No, it’s not to everyone’s taste, but neither are Brussels sprouts, so grit your teeth if you have to and dig in. Note that peceto is not especially prevalent during the rest of the year, but come December supermarket supplies are stocked high. If you feel inspired to give it a go, here’s a video recipe (This one from Brazil actually skips the tuna, but it wins out over other internet offerings for having the jauntiest music.)

Principal dishes on the Christmas table in old Russia included a variety of pork (roasted pig), stuffed pig's head, roasted meat chunks, jelly (kholodets), and aspic. Christmas dinner also included many other meats: goose with apples, sour cream hare, venison, lamb, whole fish, etc.. The abundance of lumpy fried and baked meats, whole baked chicken, and fish on the festive table was associated with features of the Russian oven, which allowed successful preparation of large portions.

Finely sliced meat and pork was cooked in pots with semi-traditional porridge. Pies were indispensable dishes for Christmas, as well as other holidays, and included both closed and open style pirogi (pirozhki, vatrushkas, coulibiacs, kurnik, boats, saechki, shangi), kalachi, cooked casseroles, and blini. Fillings of every flavor were included (herbal, vegetable, fruit, mushrooms, meat, fish, cheese, mixed).

Sweet dishes served on the Russian Christmas table included berries, fruit, candy, cakes, angel wings, biscuits, honey. Beverages included drinking broths (kompot and sweet soups, sbiten), kissel, and, from the beginning of the  18th century, Chinese tea.

Serbian Christmas Bread Recipe - Cesnica or Bozicni Kolac

The cesnica or bozicni kolac, also known as "money bread," is placed on the Christmas Eve table, but is not consumed until Christmas Day morning when it is broken, not cut, into serving pieces, with one extra for the polozajnik. Whoever gets the coin baked inside will be lucky for the rest of the year.

Serbian Dried Fruit Compote Recipe - Suvo Voce
Sometimes the dried fruit compote or suvo voce is eaten before the meal begins, sometimes afterward as dessert. It's made with any combination of dried fruit, usually prunes, that have been cooked in water and sugar until they are tender. The liquid is as prized as the fruit. In Polish, this is known as kompot and the same recipe works for a Serbian Christmas Eve.

Serbian Meatless Soup Recipes - Posna Supa

There is usually a soup course at the Christmas Eve meal. It might be corba od patlidzan (tomato soup), fish soup, or meatless pasulj (bean soup). Whichever soup is served, it is usually sopped up with Lenten or fasting pogacha bread (see below).

Since Serbians fast during Advent, meaning no eggs, dairy or butter, the bread served at the Christmas Eve dinner must be free of these ingredients. This Lenten or fasting pogacha fills the bill. It is used to sop up the soup course and to enjoy with ajvar, an eggplant-pepper spread. When not fasting, this pogacha recipe is made.

Serbian Bean Dish Recipes
Beans, not only being a lucky food, are a perfect fasting food. Pasulj, a kind of kidney bean salad, is popular, as is prebranac, a baked bean dish.

On Christmas Eve, a family dinner known as the night of the “Consoada” is celebrated. The word Consoada refers to a small meal that is taken at the end of a day´s fasting and derives from the Latin word consolare, meaning “to comfort”.

For most Catholics, (Advent) the period of preparation for Christmas, begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas.

Advent is also refereed to as “little Lent,” because, like lent, it is a time of repentance and fasting. Fasting during Advent used to be universal, most Western Christians today treat Advent as a “Before Christmas Day”.

In the North of Portugal, it is the custom for people to reserve places at the table set for the Consoada supper for those relatives who have recently passed away, or else to leave the table laid and a candle or lamp lit throughout the night to comfort and warm their souls. Some families light a “Christmas log,” or cepo de Natal, a piece of oak that burns on the hearth.
Traditionally, the Christmas Eve supper consists of abstaining from meat dishes. The traditional fish, is Bacalhau (salted cod), but other regions eat Polvo (Octopus), or another fish. Many appetizers such as, Bolinhos de Bacalhau, Rissois de Camarao, and many other treats are served. Christmas day meals usually consist of meat dishes such as roast Pork, chicken, or lamb.
