Take Off And Enjoy A Traditional Christmas
Christmas as we know it today is in fact a fairly modern invention and there are various theories as to how the birth of Jesus became to be associated with December 25th.
The earliest events that can be viewed as world-wide holidays were the celebrations of the winter solstice that typically occurs around December 21st at the moment. Sun worshipping was very common in the period around 200 AD and the date around which the sun stopped its downward retreat and started to move upwards in the sky was a very significant event. Since those early celebrations, the association with the birth of Jesus and later the different characters known as Father Christmas and Santa Claus have developed. December is not the most significant date in some countries and places like Spain still put more emphasis on January 6th or the Epiphany, which celebrates either the baptism of Jesus or the coming of the Magi depending on which religion you belong to.
Whatever your religious preferences, the Christmas period is still viewed as one that remains embedded in tradition, however in some regions, and the UK may be one of them, the commercialism that goes alongside the period may be slowly eroding those historical traditions.
When you look back, even just a few decades, at what is typically associated with Christmas in the UK many things have changed. Of course some things always find their place like Midnight Mass services for church goers, the traditional Christmas Day dinner of Roast Turkey followed by Christmas pudding and the giving of Christmas cards and presents.
The Queens speech, broadcast on Christmas Day during the afternoon, still remains, but may be struggling to remain current in the light of everything else that today’s youngsters have vying for their attention on that day. Even the sending of Christmas cards, which were also a great excuse for people to write and update seldom-seen friends about the happenings of the past year, are now partly redundant in that role due to the convenience and ease of email. Some may even view the bulk sending of paper cards as being an environmental no-no. You rarely see a nativity crib model in many UK homes these days, while new traditions like decorating the outside of houses with thousands of Christmas lights, as made famous by Jennings Osborne in the USA, are gaining a foothold. Church attendance figures fell by over 33% in the 6 year period between 1989 and 2005, so it is obvious that the focus of Christmas is changing rapidly in the UK.
To experience a more traditional Christmas, less affected by the surge of commercial influence, many people are opting to spend the festive period in countries such as Germany and Spain, where the strength of the traditional Christmas still seems to be holding fast.
As an example, the island of Lanzarote is typical of many Spanish areas in the way it celebrates Christmas. Here the primary focus is on Christmas Eve and the January Epiphany as opposed to the usual Christmas Day focus seen in the UK.
On Christmas Eve or Nochebuena, most businesses will close early to allow people to travel and prepare to spend the evening with family and friends. Many will attend a Midnight Mass in their local church. Of all the days across the holiday period, Christmas Day is almost a non-event. There are no presents, an activity that comes later, and most people just see the day as the start of a period of resting, not working and enjoying the company of family. The next significant date is New Years Eve, when the start of a fresh year is celebrated with impressive firework displays, with Puerto del Carmen staging the biggest display on the island. However the main day comes on January 6th, when presents are given and people celebrate the Epiphany. On the night before Epiphany the village of Yaiza, in southern Lanzarote and one of the prettiest villages on the island, is typical of many others on the island, seeing many people coming out into town, with kings in costume giving sweets to the children. Unlike the custom of Father Christmas in the UK and other Northern European countries, it is the kings that bring the presents that the children will look forward to the next day.
Of course these traditions seem even more surreal to UK visitors when you consider the mild temperatures that are still normal at that time of year in the Canaries and the pleasant sunshine that still makes spending time on the island’s many wonderful beaches perfectly enjoyable.

Spanish/English translation…?
I’ve found one more Christmas card in Spanish, could you please translate this, too?
Una Oracion Navidena
Que esta Navidad sea brilliante y linda, que llegue con alegria, conceda la paz y traiga una profunda felicidad.
This looks like a card for a small child which is who I would be sending it too, is that who it sounds like it is written for?
“A Christmas Prayer
May this Christmas be lovely and brilliant, may it come with joy, bring peace and bring a profound happiness.”
Doesn’t sound like a card for a little kid to me.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
