Before reading how other nations celebrate, here you can find out what the article writers do

during the holiays.

Melinda: I will listen to my favourite song. It’s Santa Claus is coming to town

performed by Mariah Carey.

Lilla: This is the book I am going to snuggle in bed with on Christmas Eve

after the kids have been tucked in: A Treasury of Christmas Miracles: True

Stories of God's Presence Today

Szilvi: I’m going to watch The Holiday. This Christmas-themed

romantic comedy is one of my favorites.Two young women - Iris from

London and Amanda from New York - exchange their homes during the

holidays to escape heartbreak. Short after their arrival to a foreign

country they find romance. Amanda meets Iris' brother and falls in love

with him. Meanhwile Iris meets her new neighbour, a 90-year-old

screenplay writer who helps her to retrive her self-esteem and the film composer Miles who

she falls in love with. It is a very enjoyable and funny movie. I highly recommend this film to

anyone to feel that things can get better.

Niki: My ultimate favourite among Christmas stories is a romantic tale of a

loving couple. You will understand it even at elementary-pre-intermediate

level without getting away anything from the story. It can be read and listen to

here: The Gift of the Magi.

I would like to introduce you some interesting facts and habits about Christmas around the

world. You will know some of them which are popular, but I hope you will find new

information, too.

Hungary

Santa Claus (Télapó, Mikulás) comes on the sixth of December. He puts sweets and

rod to children’s shoes.

On 24 December, children go to their relatives because the little Jesus brings the tree

and the presents.

People eat fish soup, rice, potatoes, meat, and poppy-seed or nut ‘beigli’.

Belgium On the sixth of December Saint Nicholas is celebrated.

Santa Claus in Belgium is called de Kerstman or Le Père Noël. He brings the presents

and puts them under the tree or in stockings near the fireplace.

Finland

Finnish people believe that Santa Claus lives in

Finland: at Corvatunturi (Lapland). Tourists

come here to see Christmas Land.

They eat fish (salmon and herrings), mushroom,

salad and gingerbread.

People go to church and to the sauna. After that

Santa Claus (who is a member of the family)

comes.

People go to cemeteries in the evening.

Italy

In Italy an ugly witch brings the presents to children.

Germany

Germans love to decorate their houses at Christmas with lights, electric candles and

pictures.

They have an Adventskranz – a wreath of leaves with 4 candles.

Der Weihnachtsmann brings presents in the afternoon and then people go to church.

They eat fish and goose.

The Christmas tree originates from here.

Ukraine

In Ukraine Father Frost brings the presents and Snowflake Girl helps him.

6

United States of America

In the USA people decoreate the tree 3-4 weeks before

Christmas (from Thanksgiving Day).

In the USA Santa Claus (Father Christmas) brings the presents

with the reindeers. On Christmas Eve (24 Dec) children hang

stockings on the fireplace and they find the presents next

morning. Some sweets are hid in the stockings and presents

under the tree. The ‘bad child’ gets only a piece of coal.

Santa Claus comes down through the chimney. Children put

cookies (mince pies) and milk for Santa (maybe brandy) and a

carrot for Rudolph.

People eat turkey this day.

United Kingdom

Here the Santa Claus brings the presents, too on Christmas Eve (24 Dec). On

Christmas Day (25 Dec) children find the presents in the stockings or under the tree.

On Boxing Day (26 Dec) people visit relatives.

Before Christmas, children write letters to Santa and toss them into the fireplace.

Father Christmas reads the smoke.

People eat turkey, pudding and drink eggnog.

Here mistletoe is a famous plant, it brings good luck and people have to kiss each

other under it.

’Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ is a well-known character of a song

all over the world where English is spoken. It was a Christmas hit with

kids of all ages and sold 2.5 million copies during the Christmas week in

1949 and ’Rudolf’ became number one in the music charts. You can also

watch the film titled ’Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie’.

You have already got to know ’Rudolph’ so let me introduce ’Frosty’ to

you. He is a happy character with a black hat on his head who can take

you to the magic world of winter, happiness, freedom…whether you are

a child or an adult.

The simplest way to get to know him is to listen to the song written after the success of the

recording of ’Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ in 1950. (Like ’Rudolph’, ’Frosty’ has also

been adapted to a popular television special.)

The story is a tale of the snowman who is a jolly happy soul with a pipe, a button nose and

two eyes made of coal. He is brought to life magically by an old silk hat that some children

have found and placed on his head. After placing the hat on his head he begins to dance and

he can laugh and play just the same as children can.

Frosty enjoys being and playing with the kids who built him. He is roaming throughout the

town saying: ’Catch me if you can.’ He knows the sun is hot that day that’s why he wants to

have some fun before he melts away. He has to hurry on his way but he doesn’t forget to

wave goodbye and says: ’I’ll be back again some day.’

I hope you have enjoyed this short introduction of the two

traditional characters of the English Children’s Literature and

you will be happy if you can read some more readings written

by me. I would be happy if you wrote me your opinion in

connection with the text above and complete the puzzle on the

next page.

8

You have to find the vocabulary of Frosty’s story. You can find the words accross and down.

Have a nice English time with me,

We have varied materials in the house. So we need varied detergents to clean the house. We

can buy a lot of detergents in the shops, but they contain some toxic things.

When our grandparents were children, they used natural material in their house and garden.

I’d like to present a natural material that anyone can make.

It’s made from ash and rainwater. Its name is ash-lye. How can you make it?

Well, you need 1.5 kg ash from acacia, oak or beech. If you live in a flat, you can get it from

people, who live in a detached house. You must look for chimneys, and if you see smoke

coming from them, you should ring to the house.

So, you’ve got ash. Now you have to wait for

rain. You need 4 l rainwater.

If you’ve got rainwater and ash, you have to look

for a pot. Put the ash into the pot, and pour the

rainwater onto the ash. Mix them, and put the pot

on the stove. You must boil them, and cook them over a slow fire for about two or three

hours. Sometimes you have to stir it.

WARNING! You have to work with opened windows, because your material’s steam is

very strong!

So, when will it be done? You must try that with a feather. Plunge it into the liquid. If the

feather dissolves in your liquid, it’s ready.

10

Now you have to filter it. You need a piece of linen

and a big filter. Put the textile into the filter and pour

the ash-lye with the ash.

You’ve got about 2 l ash-lye and a lot of ash. You

mustn’t throw the ash away because it’s useful. You

can use it as a scouring powder. Lye is used as a cold degreasin for stove or tiles or pots. And

if the food was burned in the pot, you have to pour some lye into the pot and put it on the

stove. You have to boil it for a few minutes and the burned food will take off easily.

You should use it for washing – pour it on the food spot and put the clothes into the washing-

mashine. I use it as a liqid detergent with washing soap and washing soda. And then I rinse

with apple-vinegar and essential oil.

So I can offer just this natural gift!

about the banknote which talks in a strange way and is still understood by Forints

Wampum, the piggy bank was sleeping sound. He was dreaming

about the piggy bank beauty pageant, and about the lots and lots of

money in his belly, which could make him so beautifully fat that he

would obviously win the competition. Meanwhile, the coins and notes

were peacefully relaxing in the piggy bank: the old fifty-Forint coin,

who had told so many stories about money to the others; the young

fivehundred note, who had changed under the impact of the tales; the

grumpy hundred coin, who seemed to be less grumpy these days; the

touch-me-not and the wondering twenty coins were supporting each

other just like when they were awake; the ten-Forint coin who was

always just waving his hand but has started to find himself recently;

and of course the little five-Forint coin, who is curious about

everything.

Then suddenly everything has turned over. Wampum was shaking, and the money inside him

woke up to find themselves put in and were unable to move. A big hullabaloo started

immediately:

‘Let go of me!’ The touch-me-not twenty coin was grizzling.

‘Is it not too early?’ Grumbled the hundred coin.

‘Ah, you aren’t let sleep...’ Sighed the surrendering ten coin.

The stranger gave an answer but she was talking in such a strange way that nobody could

understand him. The old, experienced fifty coin started to speak:

‘Hey, wait, turn down! I think our guest comes from far, far away.’

‘What do you mean?’ asked the little five-Forint coin in astonishment.

‘Listen!’ The old, well-thumbed silvery coin tried to quietened them.

This was when they saw that the stranger was money too, namely: a banknote. She had the

marks about which the old one had already talked, which made a banknote a banknote. But

there were quite funny texts on her.

Her speech was also excentric: although they could guess what she was saying, but she was

using words that were completely unknown for the Forints. She was pronouncing them in a

very interesting way: her speech was melodic but strange.

First, the foreign note whipped herself into shape and let her anger out for this unworthy

treatment. At last she noticed that she was not alone. She was looking briefly at the others and

then she realized that she was the newcomer who should introduce herself.

‘Well,’ that was another strange word from the stranger, ‘good morning! I am sorry for

invading, I usually do not disturb strangers. I’m a one-note.’

‘A one note?’ asked the always wondering twenty-Forint coin in astonishment. ‘Old Man,

didn’t you say that this tiny one is the smallest of us?’ he said, pointing at the five-Forint coin.

12

‘I did say so,’ answered the fifty coin with a mysterious smile.

‘And that is true.’

‘How could that be true?’ grumbled the hundred coin. ‘Now we

can see it for ourselves that it is not!’

‘But it is! Have a closer look at the newcomer!’ The fivehundred

note has realized something. ‘She is completely different from

us.’

Of course, the others started to look at the stranger. She really

had a different size, the pictures were in a particular layout, and

those labels! Those were absolutely funny.

‘Who are you?’ asked the surrendering ten coin.

‘I’m an English Pound’ announced the stranger proudly.

‘Pardon?’ The others didn’t understand her.

‘Let me help you’ smiled the fifty coin. ‘Our friend is a currency from another country,

namely Great Britain. They call their money Pound, while we call it Forint. We are Forints,

she is a Pound.’

‘Where is this Grape Britain?’ the little five-Forint coin inquired.

The old money corrected him and gave him an explanation.

‘Great Britain is far enough for our friend to have done quite a long journey.’

‘Well, maybe,’ admitted the one-Pound. ‘The only thing I can remember is spending a long

time in a purse and when the purse was used again, I got here. The rarely seen uncle of

....................... gave me to ........................... (complete with the name of your child). Then the

child threw me over here.’

‘You are in a piggy bank,’ was the explanation of the five-hundred note. ‘Children in our

country collect money in this. Piggy banks teach them how to spare money.’

‘Oh, I understand,’ nodded the one Pound. ‘Children in Great Britain also have their home

bank to collect their money, but that doesn’t look like a pig...’ and she started to tell her story.

She couldn’t finish it for a long time. Her money-fellows kept asking, asking, and asking a lot

of questions until late. The old fifty coin was staring at them with a smile, seeing that the

foreign one-Pound note was not a foreigner for them any longer. She has become part of the

money collection in Wampum’s belly – no matter what language she spoke.

Zserbó Slice

The Gerbeaud Slice (Zserbo in Hungarian) is perhaps the best known pastry in Hungary and

has a history of 125 years. The GÉRBEAUD, “Zserbó” is one of the signature desserts of

Café Gérbeaud. It is baked for celebrations and special occasions such as birthdays and

Christmas. It has three layers of Linzer pastry, apricot jam, and ground walnut filling, with a

chocolate icing topping.

Mákos guba

Mákos Guba is a kind of bread pudding that is eaten traditionally on Christmas Eve in

Hungary. It’s made with leftover bread along with eggs, milk, sugar and poppy seed.

Hókifli / Hungarian Snow Crescent

This cookie is also a typical Hungarian festive cookie and one of my favorites. It is quite

simple to make and always a big hit. It is also known with or without filling.

Beigli / Poppy seed or walnut pastry roll

There is no Christmas without these authentic

Hungarian pastry rolls. Although it originates from

Germany, it became popular during the Austro-

Hungarian Monarchy. It has as many recipes as many

families live in Hungary. :-) For example, the dough

can be either a risen dough or a crumbly dough. It

keeps well for a long time so it can be prepared even

weeks before Christmas.

Picture source: Wikipedia

14

Beigli as I prepare it

Ingredients

Dough:

330 g flour

130 g butter

30 g icing sugar

a pinch of salt

50 ml milk

1 egg yolk + 1 egg separeted

20 g fresh yeast

Filling:

150 g ground poppy seed or walnut

4 tbsp icing sugar

1 lemon zest

200 ml milk

Instructions

1. Put the lukewarm milk, the yeast and a tsp of sugar into a bowl and leave it for a few

minutes till it’s risen.

2. Crumble the butter with the flour then add the salt, sugar, egg yolk and the milk with yeast.

3. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

4. In the meantime prepare the filling. Make the walnut or poppy seed with milk, lemon zest

and sugar boil gently. Note: it should not flow too much!

5. Divide the dough into two parts and roll each of them out to a rectangle.

6. Separate half of the filling on one dough, the rest goes to the other one.

7. Separate the egg. Brush the surface with the egg yolk. When it got dry, brush it with the

egg white. So it will get a nice colour. Make holes on the top.

8. Bake it in 180°C preheated oven for 20-30 minutes.

9. Let it cool down before you slice it!

A new creative venture has come to light recently. Ms Ildiko Kudlik and

Mrs Gabi Farkas have launched a new venture that aims to be educational

as well as being a delightful experience for all getting involved. Sounds

intriguing?

Spirit’n Art™ is a brand intending to promote creative and eco-friendly

attitude. We believe that we are all children at heart so all our products intend to give a joyful

and delightful experience. Under the brand Spirit’n Art Recycled™ we create accessories that

are 95% made of the garbage of the second-hand garment industry of Europe.

Ildiko lived abroad for many years in

different places where the garbage

problem and recycling is mostly

resolved or at least at an advanced

level.

Upon returning, she realized that

Hungary had become the garment

dumpster of Europe. Tons and tons of second hand garments enter the

country daily but only part of it is sold at various second hand stores

around the country. Quite a big percentage of these garments is not fit

for reselling. Therefore it becomes waste that either increases the already overwhelming

amount of garbage that needs to be disposed of or ... it can be reused.

Our intention is to reuse the waste and make delightful creations/products out of them. Here

you can read about how we create our products.

Every single item we create is unique,

radiating delight and ease. They all have

their own unique personality. Their names

suggest their hidden persona. We wish that

our products find homes with those who

appreciate their uniqueness and the caring

attitude they were made with.

Thank you for supporting our efforts in making the world a greener place!

I can hear you say: ’Oh, come on, Christmas is not about health!’

Well, let me disagree. Christmas is about health: as it adds a lot to the health

of your soul. Why not to take care about your body too? I don’t think you

should compromise on all those delicous meals and pretty desserts which

you usually enjoy during the holidays. Having talked a lot with my students

about healthy topics, I’ve collected some ideas to keep yourself – especailly

your teeth - healthy, here they are:

1. The secret of cranberry

Having roast turkey is not only a typical Thanksgiving meal but has become traditional in

Hungary too. Why not try cranberry as garnish? Not only is it full of vitamins but it also

protects your teeth and makes all that meat easier to digest.

2. New tradition: cheese party

Dried fruits are claimed to be healthy alternatives to chocolate. Unfortunately this statement is

not true. Dried fruits are rich in sugar. Cheese is much better for your health, mainly for your

teeth. So you can take up a new, very elegant (maybe French) tradition this year.

What’s more, some tricky presents can make children become fans of tooth cleaning and

staying healthy.

3. Sit down for a game!

Christmas is a time to spend some fantastic hours with your

family. Why not enjoy chess, cards or any board games? If

you find any of them under the Christmas tree, go on and try

them. The best is to organize a game party for New Year’s

Eve involving more families. The effect on your health:

when your hands are busy playing, you can’t eat with

them!

4. Find a fashionable toothbrush!

Does it have a funny colour? Does it include the latest technological inventions? Is there the

figure of the Ice Queen or Bobo on it? You can find the perfect one(s) for both boys and girls

to make the evening tooth cleaning routine fun.

5. Time is money clean teeth.

It is advised to move your toothbrush for minimum 2 minutes to clean your

teeth thoroughly. An elegant or a funny or a self-made timer helps you to

measure the cleaning time and also makes a lovely surprise under the tree.

If you could not pay enough attention, don’t be upset. I know a fantastic

dentist you can always turn to: Dr. Jász Máté.
