A memory of my childhood Elizabeth Grünbaum It was snowing outside and the bright winter sun shined into the room through the curtains. I woke up early that beautiful day, because there were guests coming over. Like in any other winter morning i rushed to the window sill to see if the dwarves have left something in my christmas stocking. I remember exactly, what was in there that day, it was kinder surprise. I liked kinder surprises a lot, because the chocolate would melt in your mouth and there was a surprise between the two halves of the chocolate. At 1 o'clock, the guests arrived. They were my grandparents. Guests brought pies made by grandma and a beautiful bunch of flowers since i'd just had my birthday a week before. Mother asked me to take out a vase to put the flowers in the water. So i did and i climbed on top of a chair to grab my favourite vase with blue flowers on i...
Christmas in Australia Christmas in Australia is often very hot. Whereas the northern hemisphere is in the middle of winter, Australians are baking in summer heat. It is not unusual to have Christmas Day well into the mid 30 degrees Celsius, or near 100 degrees Fahrenheit. A traditional meal includes a turkey dinner, with ham, and pork. A flaming Christmas plum pudding is added for dessert. In the Australian gold rushes, Christmas puddings often contained a gold nugget. Today a small favor is baked inside. Whoever finds this knows s/he will enjoy good luck. Another treat is Mince Pies. Some Australians and particularly tourists often have their Christmas dinner at midday on a local beach, Bondi Beach in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs attracts thousands of people on Christmas Day. Other families enjoy their day by having a picnic. If they are at home, the day is punctuated by swimming in a pool, playing Crick...

Dear John, Thank you for your letter. It was very interesting to get to know more about British Christmas and the traditions related to it, but now I would like to write about how we celebrate Christmas in Estonia. Usually we start to prepare for Christmas four weeks before it, by putting out advent candles. Each week we light one, till by Christmas it's four of those. On Christmas Eve we usually go to cemetery, where we light candles and also go to church to hear Christmas service and where well known Christmas songs are sung. After that we go home, to eat traditionally sauerkraut with potatoes and blood sausage and also roast pork or brawn. Earlier we have baked and decorated gingerbreads. Then soon Santa Claus comes with a bag full of presents. We all have to read poems or sing songs to get a present. Usually by that time it is very late already and we go to sleep to rest. On next day we visit our relatives an...
Nigulapäev Talvine nigulapäev on üks vana kalendri aegadest säilinud pühadest, mida on tähistanud õigeusklikud Ida- ja Kagu-Eesti äärealadel. Seal on nigulapäeva peetud talve alguseks. Saarlased on ütelnud, et nigulapäeva öö on aasta pikim. Siis pidavat kotkas puu otsast alla kukkuma, sest ta küüned väsivat oksast kinni hoides ära. Vanade kirjalike allikate järgi on seda päeva peetud 18. sajandil karjapühaks ja seostatud püha Nikolausega. Nigulapäeval on palju sarnast vanade mardipäeva kommetega ja viljakusriitustega. Nigulapäeval tõi püha Nikolaus, mitmel pool Euroopas aga hoopis püha Martin või mardivana headele lastele pähkleid ja kooke ning andis halbadele lastele vitsa. Nigulapäeva on püha Nikolausega seotud aga Eestis kindlad seosed ja teated selle kohta puuduvad. Püha Nikolaus on väga oluline ka Euroopa ja Põhja-Ameerika pärimuses. Temast kujunes Ameerikas Santa Claus ehk meilegi tuntud jõuluvana. Ing...
Dark, but light inside Christmas in Estonia is probably one of the most celebrated celebration of the year. This celebration lasts for 3 days. The main party in celebrated at two days on 24 th and 25th of December. The Christmas is celebrated mainly for two reasons: because of the J. Christ's birthday and the darkest time of the year. People usually celebrate Christmas at home but there are also some street parades and parties at work or school. They decorate their homes with lots of shiny, colourful and bright lights. They also get the Christmas tree, clean up their house and make or shop for presents to gift someone. During the Christmas people visit their relatives and there's a Christmas Peace all over the world that means that you have to do good things and be nice to everyone. On the Christmas Eve morning some people go to the church. On the Christmas Night they usually have dinner...

Maarja Mägi 11B Christmas celebrations in Estonia In Estonia, Christmas time is considered to be the most important time of the year. In recent times, Christmases have grown to be more a commercial holiday. What is more, Estonian Christmas celebrations have been changed due to German cultural influences. Christmases in Estonia on the whole have two meanings: first one is to celebrate the birth of the Christ and secondly it marks the whole period of mid-winter festivities. In Estonia's folk tradition, Christmas (in Estonian "jõulud" is of ancient Scandinavian origin and has no connection with Christianity) was a time of year to celebrate the shortest day and longest night. At the same time, Christmas was the culmination of the late autumn celebrations. Christmas Eve and Christmas Night were the most sacred times of the season. Nowadays, Christmases ...

averaged only nine servings per day in Atlanta. Today, daily servings of CocaCola beverages are estimated at 1.8 billion globally. Before it goes to market, each Coca-Cola product undergoes nearly 450 different tests to ensure that ingredient and packaging quality meets Company standards. The Coca-Cola Company has done tons of warmhearted and kind TV-commercials, in order to attract people to buy their beverage more often. Most of the commercials are shown in Christmastime and include Santa-Claus. Coca-Cola has also a lot of campaigns. For example, one campaign is where they type peoples' names on the bottles and cans. This way people buy Coke more and more, when they find their name written on the bottle. In Atlanta, there is even a museum of Coke called The World of Coca-Cola. It was opened in 2007. The museum's main attraction is certainly "The Vault of the Secret Formula", which is an interactive exhibit on the mystique of the Coca-Cola secret formula. The museum has also
FRANK SINATRA GALA Frank Sinatra Gala kontsert on kummardus 20.sajandi ühele suuremale meelelahutajale, geniaalsele Frank Sinatrale. Frank Sinatra salvestas heliplaatidele umbes 1800 meloodiat ning on surematuks laulnud rohkem maailmahitte kui ükski teine vokalist ajaloos. Sinatra laulud ei ole kõigest juhuslikud meloodiad, vaid sümbolid ja neid on raske eraldada Sinatra häälest. Frank Sinatra ei ole vaid üks laulja või näitleja. Sinatra nimi on sümbol, mis tähistab tervet repertuaari, ajastut, elustiili. Ja muidugi häält. Kui noor Frank 1939.aasta kevadel oma esimese plaadi salvestas, ei oleks küll keegi võinud oletada et kõhnast, laiade kõrvadega noormehest saab juba paari aasta pärast iidol, kes tõukab troonilt isegi Ameerika popmuusika kuninga Bing Crosby. Veelgi enam et sellestsamast Itaalia verd noormehest küpseb filmistaar kes võidab Oscari, et temast kujuneb terve maailma üks omanäolisemai...

Sissjuhatus Rahvakalender räägib vanadest pühadest , mis on sajandeid tagasi peetma hakatud . Neli tähtsamat püha on : Jüripäev 23.aprill Jaanipäev 24.juuni Mihklipäev 29.september Jõulud 24.detsember neid nimetatakse neljaks pööripäevaks . Jüripäev Jüripäev märkis eesti rahvakalendris kevade ja kevadtööde algust. Päev on saanud oma nime pühalt Jürilt. Kirikukalendri püha Jüri on tänini oluline kunsti ja kirjanduse inspireerija, lohetapja, keda on peetud kristluse võidu sümboliks paganluse üle. Jüripäev on Eestisse tulnud nii lääne- kui idakiriku kaudu ja sisaldab mitmete ümberkaudsete rahvastega sarnaseid jooni. Oma mitmekesisuses oli see suuremaid ja olulisemaid aastaringi pühi veel 20. sajandi alguse rahvakalendris. Võimsalt on ta endasse sulatanud lähedaste tähtpäevade kombestikku ja uskumusi (künni- ja karjalaskepäev). Jüripäeva muutsid eriliseks maagilised kombed, millega tagati tervis, talu edenemine ja tõrjuti tumedai...
Holidays, Festivals, Cultural events TALLINN - If you're looking for entertainment in Estonia this summer, you are really spoiled for choice. Festivals and events dedicated to the consumption of beer are a lot of fun, but if you want to get the true feel of the country, you need something a little more ethnic. Like a town fair. Just as July becomes August, the seaside town of Haapsalu will host a grand spectacle of rural Estonian entertainment. The White Lady Days is a summer celebration filled with amusement for all the family. Held in and around the remains of the Teutonic-knights-era castles, the fair combines enchanting medieval legends with modern countryside charm to create a comprehensive experience of Estonia beyond the big cities. But the legend of the White Lady of Haapsalu, which is at the heart of the festival, is perhaps the most famous tall tale of the many that are so abundant in Estonia's folklore. It is the story of...
