Christmas Day is observed around the world, and Christmas Eve is widely observed as a full or partial holiday in anticipation of Christmas Day. https://padlet.com/beckydanqing/s1s6vvqwrk5jpri/wish/2456341915 2023-01-25 15:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/beckydanqing/s1s6vvqwrk5jpri/wish/2456341915 Christmas https://padlet.com/beckydanqing/s1s6vvqwrk5jpri/wish/2456353010 Christmas is celebrated all around the world! People usualy start celebrating christmas weeks before christmas eve or christmas day. People usualy wear warm clothes and christmas hats. While christmas is supposed to be a celebration about the birth of Jesus Christ it isnt even close to the time Jesus was accualy born. Christmas is celebrated on the day of a celebration about another god but i forgot who it was and from which religion. I like christmas]]> 2023-01-25 15:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/beckydanqing/s1s6vvqwrk5jpri/wish/2456353010 Baba Marta (directly translated - granny March) is a Bulgarian celebration on 1 March. On this day, people wear and give to the other close people red and white coloured bands called "martenitsi". At the end of the day, they remove the handbands and put them on trees. I like the day, it might not be a free day but it just feels more positive. https://padlet.com/beckydanqing/s1s6vvqwrk5jpri/wish/2456359753 2023-01-25 15:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/beckydanqing/s1s6vvqwrk5jpri/wish/2456359753 NEW YEAR https://padlet.com/beckydanqing/s1s6vvqwrk5jpri/wish/2456370763 New Year is the time at which a new year begins. It's celebrated on the 31st December and the 1st January. People usually wear their every day clothes. There are a lot of food traditions that everyone does. Fun stuff are also included in the activities, for example most Bulgarian people do traditional dances. In most of countries, they celebrate New years on different times because of time zones. When you go in town you can see a lot of fireworks. We enjoy New year.

 It was held in Plovdiv on 11 May 1851, although an Armenian traveler mentioned his visit to the "celebration of the Bulgarian script" in the town of Shumen on 22 May 1803.

People go to the S.S. Cyril and Methodius National Library to say their prays to the statue the brothers.

We like it,because of the meaning and its contributing for the Bulgarian nation

In Bulgaria, a ritual spectacle of spring (a sort of carnival) takes place after a scenario of folk theatre, in which Kuker's role is interpreted by a man attired in a sheep- or goat-pelt, wearing a horned mask. Closely related traditions are found throughout the Balkans.]]> 2023-01-25 16:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/beckydanqing/s1s6vvqwrk5jpri/wish/2456440806 Lunar New Year https://padlet.com/beckydanqing/s1s6vvqwrk5jpri/wish/2456442100  The first day of Chinese New Year begins on the new moon that appears between 21 January and 20 February.

People are doing the dragon dance. It's a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture

Chinese dragons are believed to bring good luck to people, therefore the longer the dragon is in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.

According to the poem 'Classic of Poetry'
 during this time people clean millet-stack sites, toast guests with mijiu (rice wine), kill lambs and cook their meat, go to their masters' home, toast the master, and cheer the prospect of living long together. 

We like it because it's different from our culture and we can learn about other people's holidays.]]> 2023-01-25 16:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/beckydanqing/s1s6vvqwrk5jpri/wish/2456442100
