Hello everybody.
Look. I'm preparing my Christmas dinner.
I have a turkey,
a Christmas pudding and my favourite drink.
But I think I've forgotten something important.
Oh, yes.
Where are the crackers?
-What's you're looking for, Katherine?
-Hello, Mermaid.
I'm looking for my box of crackers.
-What are crackers?
-Let me tell you about the special Christmas tradition.
Look. This box is full of crackers.
But let's start from the beginning.
All Christmas Eve,
children hang up the stockings
and they go to sleep.
-And on Christmas Day,
they open their presents.
Don't they? -That's right, Mermaid.
And we make a big Christmas dinner
with roast turkey and Christmas pudding.
And each person gets a cracker.
-Let me see the crackers.
-Sure.
Look.
During the dinner,
two people hold the cracker each them like this.
And they pull and pull
and the person who gets the big part of the cracker,
gets the gift inside.
Shall we pull it?
Oh, look.
I won the cracker.
And there is a surprise inside.
I have a badge,
a paper crown
and a joke.
-Wow, It's amazing!
-Let me read the joke.
(RÍE)
That's funny.
Shall we pull another one, Mermaid?
I won again.
Let's see what's in this cracker.
A hair clip for you.
And let me read the joke.
(RÍE)
And Mermaid, a paper crown for you.
-That's funny.
After Christmas Day,
It's Boxing Day.
-What happens on Boxing Day?
-Well, not much.
We relax,
we play about Christmas presents
and we can go shopping in the sales for bargains.
Then is New Year's Eve.
-That's my birthday.
-That's right.
And on New Year's Eve
we count down to midnight.
With the chimes from Big Ben.
Then there are fireworks and the party.
-Yes, I see fireworks from under the see.
Is that the end of the Holidays?
-No,
because after New Year's Eve
that's New Year's Day.
That's when we rest and relax
from the New Year's Eve party.
So we've talked about the special days
over the Christmas holidays.
Do you remember?
Christmas Eve,
Christmas Day,
New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
-And we saw the crackers are pulled
during Christmas dinner.
-That's right.
Merry Christmas everybody.
Bye! -Goodbye!
Merry Christmas.
