Lesson 1 HW Example 1: CHRISTMAS Christmas is celebrated with a massive show of light. We illuminate Christmas trees, decorate our houses, burn candles and light up our streets. This festival celebrates the birth of Jesus on December 25th. The Germanic tribes worshiped the evergreen tree, a symbol of eternal light, the Druids of France and England favoured the mistletoe. We still believe it is lucky to kiss underneath this.
