Many Brazilian Christmas traditions come from Portugal as Portugal ruled Brazil for many years.  Nativity Scenes , known as Presépio are very popular. They are set-up in churches and homes all through December. Christmas plays called 'Os Pastores' (The Shepherds), like the plays in  Mexico , are also popular. In the Brazilian versions of the play, there's also traditionally a shepherdess and also a woman who tries to steal the baby Jesus! Most people, especially Catholics, will go to a Midnight Mass service or Missa do Galo (Mass of the Roster). The mass normally finishes about 1.00am. On Christmas day, people might go to church again, but this time the services are often in the afternoon. After the Missa do Gallo there are often big firework displays and in big towns and cities there are big Christmas Tree shaped displays of electric lights. In Brazil,  Santa Claus  is called Papai Noel & Bom Velhinho (Good Old Man). Many Christmas customs are similar

It flourished again during the Civil War, except the lower classes rioted in the streets to protest upper-class extravagance and waste. The author of "The Headless Horseman" and "A Christmas Carol", Washington Irving, may have revived Christmas. He wrote about a dream of Santa Claus flying through the sky in an open sleigh and created the iconic image of Santa we still see today. He also told a story of a wealthy family inviting peasants into their home to share the Christmas spirit. Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas were the first states to legal

We use words called  conjunctions , like  and ,  or ,  but ,  because  and  although,  to join two parts of sentences. Conjunctions can be used to give more information, give alternatives, give reasons, give results or give unexpected information. We use  and,   or  and  but  to connect two parts of sentences which are similar in grammatical status. Do you want chocolate, strawberry  or  vanilla?  (joining words) Amy's dad is taking us on Saturday morning,  and  he's offered to bring us home again on Sunday.  (joining clauses) We use  and    for adding information,  or  for giving alternatives and  but  for unexpected or different information.   I'm OK for food, dance    and    music,  and  I'm having a wonderful time. There's a reggae band from Jamaica  or  a Russian electro-pop group on the other stage. She’d like to go  but  she can’t. Can we use these words at the beginning of a sentence? We don’t usually use conjunctions to start sentences w
