Subject: Task 11

After reading some articles in the newspapers, I found two interesting articles about Christmas. The first one is in “ Toronto Star”; the article that I read is “Christmas follies” and according to it, Christmas is still two weeks away and people are already in their Santa sweater every day, so the reporter interviewed a lot of people about it, and almost of them agreed that Christmas was a special occasion, therefore, the usage of a reindeer or a red sweater is fine, but there are limits. One of them said “I'll forgive it only on Christmas Eve and on Christmas day in the privacy of your own home if you have small children coming over to visit”, but Santa disagree, and says that everyone has to keep the child inside you, no matter who you are! Another interesting article that I read about Christmas was in

And the other one is called “Wanted Christmas Elves”, (MSNBC News) and I have to say that I really loved the idea of this article. It says that on Christmas morning, what every child wants is to open their gifts, but Christmas isn’t the same for many children, since they are ill and struggling just to love normal lives. Therefore, the article is looking for Elves, so that they can make some holidays wishes come true for those sick kids. Then each elf would get to choose a child and then shop, wrap and send the gift for Christmas. According to the organizers, this year nearly 600 kids have created their Christmas wish lists. But the sad new is that some of the kids are so sick that they may not live until Christmas, for that reason they try to make each Christmas the best for the kids
