I'd like to visit Greenland, Italy and Spain on Christmas Time.
ОтветитьУдалитьChristmas in Greenland is very interesting for me because their traditions, songs, food and presents are absolutely different from ours. I'd like to see their natural Christmas tree decorated with candles. And their tradition illuminated stars in windows, that shine all day long expressed me very much. Maybe it's a little bit strange, but i'd like to taste some of Greenland's delicacies as 'Mattak' and 'suaasat'. I was really surprised with their traditions of celebrating New Year twice a day. Such holiday with multiplicity of fireworks and rockets is a great spending of time, that brings lots of colorful memories.
I have a dream to see Christmas in Italy. Their traditions of celebrating Christmas saved from the 16th century excited me a lot. It's very interesting for me to listen children go out Carol singing and playing songs on shepherds pipes. I'd like to try Christmas cake called 'Panettone' and a cup of hot chocolade at the end of snowy day. I believe it's funny to burn 'Creppo' and listen to stories about 'Befana'. The Christmas atmosphere in Italy is very warm and familiar.
And the Christmas in Spain Impressed me by the variety of food and Christmas activities. I haven't been to Spain during Christmas, but now it's become my biggest wish. Spanish are very friendly and cheerful. In my opinion celebrating something with such people can bring a lot of fun and pleasure.
I would like to visit NY or UK during the Christmas and New Year holidays 'cause i'm really fond of vivid atmospehe. Also one of the reason why i have chosen these countries is that all houses, streets are do up porsh for New Year. In addition i am really into the traditions of GB .One ot them connected with luck.This tradition is widely known as 'first footing'. In England it is sometimes said that a stranger coming through the door carrying a lump of coal will bring good luck.
ОтветитьУдалитьI want to taste UK dishes, 'cause all said that they are very substantial.
I would really like to visit Brazil during the Christmas! I think it is amazing country. And it will be very beautiful in this period of time! I would like to go to Brasil because I know that is is very colorful and it is the country of contrasts! I think that all people in Brazil are very kind, funny, smart,they don't have any problems. They can really get fun. I would like to enjoy Christmas holidays and to follow all Brazilian traditions! I would like to play traditional game called "Los pastores" and to see usual Papa Noel! I think it is very interesting an exiting.
ОтветитьУдалитьChristmas is amazing time, full of miracles. For me it is impossible to choose only three countries. Every country has its own attractiveness. Christmas market attract me a lot. This markets are full of people and Christmas spirit. It makes me feel happy.
ОтветитьУдалитьCultural and religious aspects attract me too. There are so many traditions and religious actions that must be seen an noticed too. But according to me The Fast is a really difficult obligation. I respect those people who can overcome themselves. For me it was always unclear what people can do for their beliefs.
It will be a great experience to spend Christmas in hot country such as Australia or Haiti.
So i cant decide which country attracts me more. But i wish to know with the help of visiting them all.
I want to visit Zimbabwe during the Christmas. I found their traditions cool and funny. For me it is a loud active holiday which should be celebrated on the street with your friends and family. Time when you should just have fun. Visit different houses communicate with different people. Listen to the different music. I think it is amazing!
ОтветитьУдалитьAlso I like to celebrate Christmas in Costa Rica. It is unusal for us to celebrate this holiday when it is warm. To decorate houses with fruit and flowers. Also I like that people don't sit at home at this special night. And I think that it is cool to dive in the sea when chime are beat.
I would like to celebrate Christmas in the Czech Republic. To tell more exactly – in Prague. On Christmas Eve the city is transforming and as a result it appears to citizens and visitors in a new way. The Christmas trees are set on different squares, the streets are decorated with funny bright lights, each cafe decorates it’s entrance in an unrepeatable and individual way, that it seems that you are at the exhibition of Christmas decorations. I am also interested in bargain sale at the shops of the city, where you can buy the variety of presents for yourself and for your folks. Many restaurants in Prague start to exhibit posters of Christmas parties and walking through the streets you can see the bright and luring signs, where each institution offers something different. Christmas Eve in Prague is a very special time, each house, each apartment is immersed into the holiday spirit by dressing up the christmas tree, hanging special wreaths, decorating windows. In a word, the city and its inhabitants feel the sweet anticipation of Christmas night. Also, I would like to try the traditional Christmas dish in Prague:
ОтветитьУдалитьhoney cakes, bagels with vanilla and hazelnut cookies with rum; and drinks: punch and mulled wine) the last time I was in Prague mulled wine was sold on the streets and squares, that people had the opportunity to keep warm in cold weather) So as for me Prague is an ideal place for celebrating magic Christmas)
