    In 1840 Sir Henry Coal invented for his numerous relatives an original

    greeting - а Christmas postcard made of cardboard. This postcard had


    a tremendous success. About a thousand copies were printed and sold.
    Since 1860 the production of postcards has become a real business.
    The Christmas tree
    originated in Germany in
    the 16th century. It was
    Martin Luther, the
    founder of a new religion,
    who first introduced a
    new custom. He brought
    home an evergreen tree
    and decorated it with
    candles which he lit on
    Christmas Eve. They
    represented the stars in
    the sky shining at Christ‘s
    birth night.
    Poinsettia (Пуансеттия )

    Пуансеттия
    Poinsettia is a very nice Mexican
    plant, which is often used for
    Christmas decorations. Thanks to
    the form of its leaves poinsettia
    has become the symbol of the
    Bethlehem star and is associated
    with Christmas.
    Holly (Остролист)
    Holly is another popular
    Christmas symbol. According
    to some versions, Jesus
    Christ’s crown was made of
    the holly, and its berries
    which were primarily white
    became red because of the
    Savior’s blood.
    This plant remains green and
    nice even in winter when the
    nature loses its bright
    colours.
    Mistletoe (Омела )
    Now mistletoe is one of the
    main Christmas symbols,
    though at first the church
    prohibited to use it for
    decorating homes on account
    of the pagan legends
    connected with this plant. In
    the 19th century before the
    Christmas tree in England
    there was a so called “branch
    of kisses”. It was made in the
    form of a double ring
    decorated with green garlands,
    ivy, apples, pears, lit candles
    and mistletoe. If a girl
    happened to stand under it she
    was allowed to be kissed.
    Look at the at the pictures and try to
    remember the words!

    Christmas stockings
    • On Christmas
    Eve children
    in Britain
    hang their
    stockings
    near the
    fireplace
    hoping that
    Santa Claus
    will fill them
    with
    presents.
    Candles
    People light candles at Christmas as a symbol of
    Christ’s birth.
    Christmas wreaths

    One of the main traditions during these weeks are Christmas wreaths with candles
    which have a special meaning. A traditional Christmas wreath is made from evergreen
    branches to symbolize God's ever-lasting presence. In the wreath there are four
    candles – three purple candles that represent penance and one pink one to represent
    the hope of the coming joy. Each candle represents one of the four weeks before
    Christmas. During the week of Christmas, the candles are changed to white to
    represent the fulfillment of the miracle of the birth of the Christ child.
    Christmas tree for birds
    People try to share their joy with other live creatures. On Christmas Eve they feed
    birds with seeds and bread crumbs. It symbolizes that the New year will bring
    luck and wealth. The holiday out-of-doors adds fun to the holiday indoors.
    • On Christmas parents
    Candycanes
    treat their children with
    sugar candy canes The
    earliest candy canes
    were invented in the 17th
    century. The candy cane
    represents one of the
    oldest symbols of
    Christmas - the
    shepherd's crook. They
    are also made in the
    form of the letter “J” to
    represent the name of
    Jesus.
     
    Lunch is the most important part of Christmas Day. The traditional
    lunch consists of roast turkey with vegetables, followed by Christmas
    (plum) pudding made with dried fruit and brandy.
