Have you ever thought of Christmas without any celebration? Did you ever see the beautiful view when all the lights turn on over the buildings? In Hong Kong, we treat Christmas as a normal festival which brings us a holiday to relax. At Christmas, we usually have Christmas dinner in a famous restaurant together with our family. We chat and share memories as a family time. Sometimes, we do exchange presents to each other. On the other hand, my friends and I often gather around and have party at home. We have Shushi, fried chicken, hot pot and pizza for celebrating Christmas night. We always play board games or mahjong until mid-night. We don’t decorate with bells, Christmas tree or socks in our home. However, there is strong Christmas atmosphere along streets and malls. There are Christmas trees, cartoon characters and sometimes, the mall will spread the ‘snow’ amongst the shops. Most of the tall buildings along the coast, hang up light bulbs over the side of buildings. On Christmas eve, every building is lit with bright light. We can see a spectacular view over the Victoria harbor with Santa Claus, deer and numerous Christmas decorations. Apart from that, we all enjoy and love Christmas. By Mia 3 December 2019 Christmas - the time of year when everybody comes together to show love. I guess that this is probably the same everywhere around the world. But now I would like to tell you what a German Christmas is like. Christmas time starts with the first Advent. All the families buy a wreath with four candles on top and every Sunday we light one more candle so that all the four candles are burning on Christmas Eve. The children get an advent calendar on the first of December and on the 6th of December we celebrate Sant Nicolaus, that means we clean our shoes and put them in front of our doors and the next morning they are filled with lots of amazing sweets. When it comes to the 24th of December everybody gets ready for a lovely Christmas service. We go to church and watch the little kindergarten children´s play. Afterwards we come home and our living room with our festive Christmas tree is filled with presents. We spend the evening opening our gifts and having a delicious dinner. My family always eats raclette, but I know some families that have fondue or sausages. written by Neele 4 December 2019 Well, let’s start with the fact the we don’t celebrate Christmas in Ukraine. Although we have this day on the 7th of January while others have it on the 25th of December. Instead of Christmas, we do celebrate New Year, which is believably, on the 1st of January! I think that the main reasons why we don’t celebrate Christmas is that usually Christians who have Catolicism have Christmas before New Year while the orthodoxy Christians celebrate after it. However, I am still not sure if it’s true. As we don’t do anything special at Christmas, I will talk about celebrating New Year. We have a Christmas tree, don’t ask me why we have it during New Year, not during Christmas because I am not able to answer you. Also, we buy a lot of tasty stuff at the shops. Usually during New Year, we buy tangerines (or angles), black or red caviar, salad called Olivie and other types of food we like. As for drinks, we buy both fizzy drinks and champagne. Then, we buy presents we want to give to our family members. After that, we invited a lot of people to our house and start supper, or dinner. Then, we turn the TV and we watch the president setting time and wishing us a good luck in New Year. Written by Andrii 5 December 2019 Interview with Mr Benedict The new head of EAL, Mr Benedict, has just joined our school this year and he might still be a little unfamiliar to you. Luckily, in this article you will be reading some information about him. Including his experience, opinions and suggestions, and a few fun facts about him. Mr Benedict used to work in a small independent school near Reading, as the Deputy Principal and Head of EAL before he came to Dauntsey´s. The reason he chose to become an EAL teacher was, according to him, that it has always been amazing to him how English is such an important language for business and travel throughout the world, therefore he wants to do what he can to help international students with their language skills. Along with this, he also thinks it is great that he can learn a lot about many different countries and cultures while teaching. More importantly, Mr Benedict has been enjoying his time at Dauntsey´s and finding his relationship with students very positive and full of mutual respect. Surprisingly, Mr Benedict has not always been a teacher. He worked in IT sales for a few years and had various casual jobs when he was young; including counting cars at a roundabout when he was at university! I was personally really amazed after my interview with Mr Benedict, because I felt like there can be so many interesting stories about a person that have not been told. Lastly, Mr Benedict strongly recommends that international students should read and never be afraid of asking questions, no matter how ridiculous they may seem! He said the only silly question is the one you don’t ask. Written by Ryan 6 December 2019 ‘Weep Not, Child’ is a deep and touching tragedy about the dark time of Kenya and showing the painful. Life of people under Colonial rule: By describing the living conditions of an ordinary family, we can truly feel the difficulties Kenyan people were facing; Njoroge is a child of the family and the main character. He was eager for knowledge and believed it will change his fate. He wanted to be successful in order to help his family out. However, something terrible happened to his family. His father lost his jobs since he stood out and encourage people to go against colonial government. Njoroge was gradually losing his faith in god and education. Finally, the reality destroyed him. The hopeless young man he ended up to be. The story is based on actual historically facts. How everything was so hopeful at the beginning, but reality mercilessly deprived him of hope. That really shocked me. It is definitely a worthy reading book. It enriches people’s knowledge who are not familiar with that period when black people were suffering and white people were dominating. I strongly recommend this book; the ending is on another level!!

As most people are looking forward to having a relaxing and fun time with their family, Tom the Christmas Turkey has fears and is feeling pressure on him. “Hi, I’m Tom the Christmas Turkey.” Today is the 24th of December. Me and my mates are next to each other feeling cramped on a small shelf, displayed to the people walking by. I don’t know what is so cool about me being displayed as I’ve never seen myself. Today, four people walked by and the smallest kid pointed at me; I was excited, “Am I the chosen one?” A man put both hands on my body and lifted me off the shelf and passed me to another pair of hands with two kids laughing and jumping below me. I was put into a small bag and I felt like I was in a car. It was dark and I couldn’t see a thing “Wow, be careful mate!” Someone just took me out of the bag and now I’m sitting on a table. It’s quite weird looking at people without a glass in front of me, There’s a sink on my right and a knife beside my leg. I have no clue what’s going on. Sitting down there was quite comfortable but it felt boring – I’m used to people walking in front of me. As time has passed, I see more and more people arriving at the house; they seem to be hugging and they are continuously chattering. Suddenly, a person put some salt on me and put me into a very hot place.

  • A Victorian Christmas
    Learning @ Jersey Heritage A Victorian Christmas No era in history however, has influenced the way in which we celebrate Christmas, quite as much as the Victorians. Before Queen Victoria’s reign started in 1837 nobody in Britain had heard of Santa Claus or Christmas Crackers. No Christmas cards were sent and most people did not have holidays from work. The wealth and technologies generated by the industrial revolution of the Victorian era changed the face of Christmas forever. Charles Dickens wrote a book ‘A Christmas Carol’ in 1843, which actually encouraged rich Victorians to give money and gifts to the poor. Queen Victoria and her family encouraged people to adopt a high moral tone. Charitable works by the wealthy and church going for all were an important part of Victorian life. The Christmas service was traditionally held in the Parish or village church with a Nativity scene often prominently displayed near the altar and the church decked out with greenery and candles. The whole family and all the members of their household were called by the pealing of the bells and carols were sung during the special Christmas service. Although most people did not stop work until Christmas Eve, the traditional Victorian Christmas began with the making of the Advent wreath from ivy, laurel and holly and four candles, one to be lit on each of the four Sundays of Advent symbolizing faith, joy, love and peace. They may also have made an Advent calendar, with windows to be opened daily until Christmas Eve. The custom of 26 December as "Boxing Day” also originated during the Victorian era.

  • DESNA, UKRAINE 1St Quarter 2012 Report
    DESNA, UKRAINE 1st Quarter 2012 Report January 2012 To start the New Year, our church held a celebration of the birth of Christ. [Christmas in Ukraine is traditionally celebrated according to the old calendar, on January 6.] We rejoiced in this gift from God. We ourselves could also give gifts for the children of the church and those who come to Sunday school. For many of them, what they receive from us is almost the only Christmas gift they receive, because they are from poor families. Also, God has allowed us to hold a meeting with all teachers of the Desna school and to give them special gifts on Christmas: a Bible, children's Bibles, and posters. I had a conversation with the director and assistant principal of the school. But the Devil does not sleep, and 2 days after that meeting, the school’s head teacher called and asked the missionary, Igor, not to come anymore and not to conduct classes on Christian ethics, which he had organized every week for high school students. But the Devil cannot resist God's intervention in the lives of people by His almighty hand, so we pray for God's influence on this situation. At our church this month we experienced a replenishing. Came a family, an ethnic Gypsy. The man of the family repented while in prison: he has 3 children and his wife had not yet accepted the Lord. They live in a town called Oster, where there is no Baptist church, and for a long time he’d been looking for where to go for church services.

  • Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo Nativity 2015
    Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo Nativity 2015 From the Chaplain Glory to Jesus Christ! As you can see in this newsletter, there is a parish pro- ject for the Eparchy of Mukachevo which needs your assistance. As is the case so often in the Transcarpathian Oblast, the local Greek Catholics who had remained loyal to our Church throughout the So- viet era despite arrests, fines, and having to worship in secret were denied full use of the churches built by their ancestors. This continued even when the court Parish House at Benedykivtsi must undergo major ruled in favor of the Greek Catholics and renovation when there was an abundance of old churches to be used, as in Benedykivtsi. At that village, though there were several churches which Orthodox simply could not fill, the Greek Catholics were kept outside, even in freezing winter, for over 20 years. Their appeal does not begin to convey the hardships which those families have endured, praying outside for every liturgical celebration - from baptism to weddings to funerals - rather than give up their Faith. So we appeal for your generosity and, as always, thank you in advance. A new category is for the Prešov Metropolia's ongoing missionary expansion. As in America, people live beyond the reach of older churches. They will be lost to our Church if intrepid missionary priests are not able to serve them. Missions are now meeting in several Roman Catholic churches or elsewhere in central and western Slovakia. The Christmas and Easter Card projects have turned out to be very successful, beyond what we expected! So, we have printed them in advance, ready to go, and the order form is inside this newsletter.
