Learning and Enjoying

It was very funny at our English lessons last week. We made New Year cards, sang songs, solved riddles, crosswords, quizzes, prepared surprises and got prizes.

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!

For Christmas and New Year.

We wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Auld lang syne (The New Year's anthem)		Старое доброе время (Гимн Нового года)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind Should auld acquaintance be forgot And auld lang syne For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne We’ll take a cup of kindness yet For auld lang syne For auld lang syne Happy New Year, baby, oh Happy New Year, baby Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind Should auld acquaintance be forgot And auld lang syne Happy New Year!		Если старый знакомый будет забыт, То о нем никогда не вспомнят. Если старый знакомый будет забыт --- Старое доброе время тоже. За старое доброе время, мой дорогой, За старое доброе время. Мы еще поднимем бокал доброты За старое доброе время, За старое доброе время.

Jingle bells

Dashing through the snow

On a one-horse open sleigh,

Over the fields we go,

 Laughing all the way;

Bells on bob-tail ring,

Making spirits bright,

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight, Oh!..

Refrain: (twice)

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago,

The story I must tell

I went out on the snow

And on my back I fell;

A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleigh,

He laughed as there I sprawling lie,

But quickly drove away, Oh!..

Sviatyij Mykolai

Saint. Nicholas, Sviatyij Mykolai, comes to Ukraine on December 19th in the Orthodox Julian calendar. The night is often called "Magic Night" or just St. Nicholas Day. It is seen as a universal children's festival.

It is a happy day with visiting and sleigh rides. Schools have plays telling Nicholas stories and the saint visits local churches. Dressed as a Byzantine bishop, the good saint is often accompanied by angels. He quizzes children on their catechism before giving gifts. 

St. Nicholas Day is the main day for gift-giving, though gifts are also becoming associated with Christmas Day. Today many Ukrainian churches have St. Nicholas celebrations to help children understand that the holy man Nicholas came long before Santa Claus.
