Who created humans according to Greek mythology? Today I want to tell you about Prometheus. He was the son of one of the Titans and Zeus ordered him to create the first men out of clay.


On Christmas Eve - the night before Christmas Day - some people go from one house to another singing Christmas carols. People often give them money, usually for a charity, or invite them to cake or cookies or a warm drink. 



Another thing people do is pull open crackers. A cracker looks a bit like a polvoron, but you don´t eat it. It has a small gift and a joke or riddle inside and it makes a noise when it bursts open. Two people pull it apart. The one who has the longest end gets the gift.
The Christmas tree became popular in England in the 19th century because of Prince Albert, who was German but married Queen Victoria.
Later children put milk and cookies near the Christmas tree for St. Nicholas, who is also Father Christmas. If they have a garden, they put water there for his reindeer. St. Nick has six reindeer. Their names are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.
Also famous is Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer who first appeared in a story colouring book and a song. Rudolph leads the other reindeer when they pull Santa´s sleigh on foggy nights.

Now you know how I feel! Maybe now you´ll do something!
¡Ahora sabes como me siento! ¡A lo mejor ahora haces algo!

Titania, you´re not Mediterranean. You´re English and you´re a queen. You can´t break down and start screaming. You´ve got to keep a stiff upper lip.

You´re right! Do I look better now? Let´s comb both worlds. Not a stone left unturned!
¡Tienes razón! ¿Estoy mejor ahora? ¡Ordeno que peinen los dos mundos! ¡Buscad hasta debajo de las piedras!

December 6 is the feastday of St. Nicholas. Born in the third century A.D., he was bishop of Myra, which is in modern day Turkey. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving. He gave away anonymously the great fortune his parents left him. For instance, he would leave gold coins in people´s shoes while they were sleeping. When he died, people continued giving gifts anonymously in his name. That is why legend turned him into Santa Claus. He is the patron of children and merchants and of New York City. He is sometimes called St. Nicholas of Bari because his remains were transported to the cathedral of Bari. Last night he was busy giving out gifts in Germany.
