Christmas was outlawed by the Castro regime for close to 30 years (1969-1997), so traditions are a mix and fairly new to many. Nochebuena is celebrated, but the emphasis is on family and food. One of the most celebrated Christmas traditions in Paris is the decoration of the city's shop windows. This is especially spectacular at Galeries Lafayette or Printemps Haussmann department stores After its big success, the Festival of Lights was back in 2019-2020, with an exhibition named Océan en Voie d'Illumination (Illuminated Paris in Christmas means twinkling lights (at the Eiffel Tower and fancy stores), fun window displays, stylish trees, ice-skating, and tasty treats (chestnuts, oysters, and Yule log cakes). In Burgundy, carols ring out at church and a family preps a special dinner. keywords. Christianity Food Christmas Religion Contemporary France. YEAR PRODUCED.

Shop owners begin advertising and decorating for Christmas as early as October in hopes of selling more goods.

Read the following passage and do the tasks below There are more than 3,000 languages in the world today, but only about six are major languages of the world. Two-thirds of the world’s populations speak those six languages. More than 300,000,000 people speak English as their first or native language. No one knows how many people speak it as a foreign language. Chinese is the only language with more speakers than English. This is because of the huge population of China, more than one billion people. English is the native or official language on the one-fifth of the land area of the world. It is spoken in North America, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. In South Africa and India it is one of the official languages. More people study English than any other languages. In many countries, the textbook in universities are in English. Many university classes are taught in English even though the native language is not English. English is the language of international communication. It is the language of international business, research, and science. More than three-fourths of the world’s mail is written in English. More than three-fifths of the world’s radio stations use English. More than half of the scientific and research journals are in English. Most other languages have borrowed many English Choose the best answer a, B, C or D to complete the sentences1. What language has the most speakers in the world?A. English B. French C. Chinese D. Russian2. ________people speak English as their first or native Two-thirds of the world’s population B. Over 300 millionC. About 300 million D. nearly 300 billionB. Answer the questions 1. Are Chinese and Arabic probably major languages of the world?……………………………………………………………………………….2. What percent of the world’s radio stations are in English?……………………………………………………………………………….3. Why do some countries use English textbooks even though English is not the native language?………………………………………………………………………………. This probably won’t come as a huge revelation to you, but all places are not the same. That’s especially true when it comes to Christmas. Some places go insane with decorations, lights, and celebrations, while others toss up a tree and call it a day. I don’t want to point fingers or imply that if you’re not one of these overachieving places, that you don’t have Christmas spirit. What I will say is that you’re probably lagging behind them, and you need to up your Christmas game. These 10 cities take Christmas to the next level. Their decorations come out early, they stay up late, and they’re extra bright. If you’re petty, these are the cities to envy. If you’re positive like I am, they’re the pinnacle of Christmas decorating and are worth aspiring to. Places like New York, NY Besides the North Pole Sup, Santa?, New York is the Christmas capital of the world. It has a giant tree, tons of shopping, glimmering lights, and usually plenty of snow. It’s the whole Christmas package. Orlando, FL/Anaheim, CA I had to put these two cities together, because they both have a major attraction in common Disney. No company creates childhood wonder and magic like Disney, so it’s no surprise that Disney World and Disneyland are extra bright and cheery for the holidays. Paris, France Technically Paris has a Disneyland also, but that’s not why it makes the list. This city, already romantic and beautiful enough on its own, really pulls out all the stops for Christmas. Tons of lights supplement the always illuminated Eiffel Tower. The crisp air, extra lights, and street markets make for a truly magical experience. Durango, CO This small town in Colorado is home of the Polar Express. Yes, the same Polar Express that was made into a movie with Tom Hanks. Board this train and sing Christmas carols while you sip hot chocolate. All aboard! Pine Mountain, GA You’ve probably never heard of this tiny town in central Georgia, but if you’re a Christmas buff, you have to visit. The main draw is Callaway Gardens, a beautiful botanical garden that puts on a magical show of lights every year. Take your car through the park, then go shopping at the market when you’re done. Nuremberg, Germany Home to one of the largest Christmas markets in the world, there are few places you can go with more Christmas spirit. From deliciously fresh baked gingerbread to hand-made toys and trinkets, this city has a true, old-world Christmas appeal. Hong Kong, China Even though China is a relative newcomer to the world of Christmas spirit, don’t sell it short. This international hub comes complete with decked out skyscrapers, Christmas trees, and fireworks. Hong Kong is truly magical around Christmas time. The Vatican Its own country in the middle of Italy, the Vatican is technically the main hub of Christmas for the millions of Catholics in the world. They don’t take their role lightly either. At the Vatican, you’ll find a giant Christmas tree and an appropriately ornate Nativity Scene. Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN These small neighboring towns draw people from all over the United States during the holidays. At Christmas, they truly put on a show. They each have scores of Christmas stores, dazzling lights, and plenty of Christmas cheer. Good luck booking a place to stay though! Frankenmuth, MI Frankenmuth owes its heritage to Germany, so it’s no coincidence that they’re well known for their Christmas celebrations. They lay claim to the largest Christmas store in the United States. If that isn’t enough to get them on this list, I don’t know what is. Your Heart The truth is that Christmas doesn’t need a huge celebration or a giant festival of lights to be special. The real magic of Christmas is the way that it brings us all together. Your heart is where true Christmas spirit lives, and it’s the most important place on our list! 3.
