Here you can find this interesting video about Christmas trees
How about making a paper Christmas tree?
Watch the video and think about what you might make and create by using paper or other materials. Try to create something and take a picture of it. I will be pleased to see your masterpiece! I am sure you will become great creators of Christmas objects and trees!!

The Christmas tree
The tradition started a long time ago in Europe. But it was in the XIX century that it became popular in Britain as Queen Victoria had married Prince Albert from Germany.
Here is one of the first images about the tradition of Christmas trees in Britain:

Do you have this tradition in your family?
Think about the decorations you can use today in comparison with what people used in the past.
Is your Christmas tree made in China?  Is it made of plastic ?
What do you think of the many Christmas trees that will die after 6th January?
Winter’s coming
The first snow has covered the Alps and the chain of mountains in the Appennines.
Temperatures are reaching 0°. I have always loved autumn for the beauty of the leaves on the trees. I feel cold and love lying in bed while reading a good book or surfing the web.
It’s getting cold outside and when I wake up in the morning I can see that days are getting shorter and colder. However, there’s some magic in these days. It’s the winter season with the beginning of a new month which is characterized by hopes and family gatherings from 24th December to 6t January in Italy.

There is some magic in the markets where people meet and buy presents for their children and relatives. It is winter time, but we are looking forward to some days to spend together with our best friends.
