Father Christmas, also called Santa Claus, is based on St. Nicholas. Nicholas was a Christian bishop of Myra in the fourth century. He was generous and kind.

In the eighteen century Dutch settlers took the tradition os Sinterklass to New York. The word Sinterklass change to Santa Claus.

Thomas Nast created the modern image of Santa Claus in 1863.

Before Americans and British children go to bed on Christmas Eve, they leave mince pies, biscuits... The following day they have a lot of presents. ]]> 2018-04-01 15:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jayomitres/tgpebbebajt8/wish/247675932 jayomitres https://padlet.com/jayomitres/tgpebbebajt8/wish/247676437 I choose this festivity because I like the tradition of the United States.


On lovers celebrated Valentine's Day. People in love give each other cards and presents (specially roses, chocolates and jewellery)

The ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia was on 15 February. On this day young men took the names of young women out of a vase.

The Christian Church wanted to replace pagan festivals with Chiristian festivals. So, at the end of the fifth century Pope Gelasius created St Valentine's Day on 14 February.
Nobody knows who was Valentine. There are three possiblities!

European immigrants took the Valentine tradition to America. They made cards (in it they paint butterflies, flowers, cupids...)

In the United States young schoolchildren take to school the same number of Valentine's cards as the number of children in the class. Then, the teacher gives the cards of the classmates with some sweets.]]> 2018-04-01 15:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jayomitres/tgpebbebajt8/wish/247676437
