00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:06.080
Hello everybody.

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.160
Look.
I'm preparing my Christmas dinner.

00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:11.080
I have a turkey,

00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.240
a Christmas pudding
and my favourite drink.

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.480
But I think
I've forgotten something important.

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:19.000
Oh, yes.

00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:20.560
Where are the crackers?

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:23.720
-What's you're looking for,
Katherine?

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:25.080
-Hello, Mermaid.

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.720
I'm looking for my box of crackers.

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:29.800
-What are crackers?

00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:33.400
-Let me tell you about
the special Christmas tradition.

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.880
Look. This box is full of crackers.

00:00:40.400 --> 00:00:42.080
But let's start from the beginning.

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:43.240
All Christmas Eve,

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.080
children hang up the stockings

00:00:45.080 --> 00:00:46.560
and they go to sleep.

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.160
-And on Christmas Day,

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:49.640
they open their presents.

00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:51.640
Don't they?
-That's right, Mermaid.

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:53.880
And we make a big Christmas dinner

00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.080
with roast turkey
and Christmas pudding.

00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:58.400
And each person gets a cracker.

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:00.240
-Let me see the crackers.

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:01.640
-Sure.

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:02.960
Look.

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:03.960
During the dinner,

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.640
two people hold the cracker
each them like this.

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:08.480
And they pull and pull

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.960
and the person who gets
the big part of the cracker,

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.640
gets the gift inside.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.160
Shall we pull it?

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:21.640
Oh, look.

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.240
I won the cracker.

00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:25.560
And there is a surprise inside.

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:27.800
I have a badge,

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:30.240
a paper crown

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:32.960
and a joke.

00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:35.640
-Wow, It's amazing!

00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:37.160
-Let me read the joke.

00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:40.160
(RÍE)

00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:48.720
That's funny.

00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:50.400
Shall we pull another one, Mermaid?

00:01:55.880 --> 00:01:57.240
I won again.

00:01:57.800 --> 00:01:59.960
Let's see what's in this cracker.

00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:03.640
A hair clip for you.

00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.080
And let me read the joke.

00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:08.160
(RÍE)

00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.480
And Mermaid, a paper crown for you.

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:19.960
-That's funny.

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:26.080
After Christmas Day,

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:27.800
It's Boxing Day.

00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:30.080
-What happens on Boxing Day?

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:31.800
-Well, not much.

00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:33.320
We relax,

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.240
we play about Christmas presents

00:02:35.320 --> 00:02:38.240
and we can go shopping
in the sales for bargains.

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.000
Then is New Year's Eve.

00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:43.160
-That's my birthday.

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:44.960
-That's right.

00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.480
And on New Year's Eve

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.400
we count down to midnight.

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:49.960
With the chimes from Big Ben.

00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.640
Then there are fireworks
and the party.

00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.080
-Yes, I see fireworks
from under the see.

00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.320
Is that the end of the Holidays?

00:02:58.800 --> 00:02:59.960
-No,

00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:01.960
because after New Year's Eve

00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.080
that's New Year's Day.

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.160
That's when we rest and relax

00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.880
from the New Year's Eve party.

00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:14.960
So we've talked
about the special days

00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.480
over the Christmas holidays.

00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:17.560
Do you remember?

00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:18.720
Christmas Eve,

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:19.880
Christmas Day,

00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.640
New Year's Eve
and New Year's Day.

00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:25.560
-And we saw the crackers are pulled

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.160
during Christmas dinner.

00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:28.240
-That's right.

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.080
Merry Christmas everybody.

00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.880
Bye!
-Goodbye!

00:03:31.880 --> 00:03:33.240
Merry Christmas.
