                                  A Person Who Inspires Me💘 

A person who inspires me is my sister Sara. She's 21 years old and I adore her. She is bad-tempered because she is very grumpy and sometimes unkind, but also adorable, brave and very responsible. She is a person who inspires me because she is brave in everything and helps me in some situations even if she doesn't agree. She finished her studies at the age of 18 and didn't like school very much, but nevertheless she prays me to do my best always and in all. She is very generous with me, but woe to touch something without her permission .😄👎

 💕 SAN VALENTINE'S CARDS💕

The first Valentine's cards were sent in the 18th century. Initially there were handmade efforts, as pre-made cards were not yet available. Lovers would decorate paper with romantic symbols including flowers and love knots, often including puzzles and lines of poetry. Those who were less inspired could buy volumes that offered guidance on selecting the appropiate words and images to woo their lover. These cards were then slipped secretly under a door, or tried to a door-knocker.💬💞

Clever Centipede

                                      CLEVER CENTIPEDE 

A single man wanted someone to help him with the household chores, so he decided to get a pet to help out.

He went to the local pet shop and asked the owner for advice on a suitable animal.

The owner suggested a dog, but the man said:

'Nah, dogs can't do dishes.'

The owner then suggested a cat, but the man said: 'Nah, cats can't do the ironing.'

Finally the owner suggests a centipede

'This is the perfect pet for you. It can do anything!'

'Ok', the man thought, 'I'll give it a try' so he bought it and took it home.

Once home he told the centipede to wash the dishes... the centipede looks over and there are piles and piles of dirty dishes that look to be a month old.

Five minutes later, all the pots are washed, dried and put away. 

'Great' thought the man. Then he told the centipede to do the dusting and vacuuming.

Fifteen minutes later the house is spotless!

Wow, thought the man, so he decided to try another idea.

'Go down to the corner and get me the evening paper', he told the centipede, and off it went.

Fifteen minutes later, the centipede hadn't returned... 30 minutes later and still no centipede!

...forty-five minutes and the man was sick of waiting, so he got up and went out to look for the centipede.

As he opened the front door, there on the step was the centipede.

'Hey, what are you doing there? I sent you out for the paper 45 minutes ago and now I find you out here without the paper! What gives?!

'Hold on a minute!' said the centipede 'I'm still putting on my boots!'

The origin of Christmas balls

A very poor street artist is in Bethlehem in the days following the birth of the Child Jesus. He wanted to go to see him but he didn't even have a gift to bring him. After some hesitations he decided to go to the cave and visit him. An idea occurred to him: he did what he could best, the juggler, and made the little boy laugh. From that day on to remind us of the laughter of the Child Jesus hang some colored balls on the Christmas tree.

Pancake Day

Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday is a special day celebrated in many countries around the world. It is celebrated in English-speaking countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada. In some countries, like France and the USA, it is called 'Mardi Gras' or 'Fat Tuesday'. In other countries, like Spain, Italy or Brazil, Shrove Tuesday is at the end of Carnival. On this day many people eat pancakes, a thin, flat cake made in a pan.

Pancake's Day is always on a Tuesday in February or March. It is the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. Lent is a period of 40 days before Easter when people often give up or stop eating things that are bad for them like chocolate or fast food. At the end of Lent is Easter. Easter takes place on a different date each year because it depends on the moon. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. Traditionally, during Lent, people didn’t eat rich foods like butter and eggs, so they made pancakes from these ingredients on Shrove Tuesday.

Another tradition on Pancake Day in the UK is pancake racing. People run in a race with a pancake in a pan. As they run, they have to toss the pancake (throw the pancake in the air and catch it in the pan) several times. In some pancake races people dress up in fancy dress costumes. The most famous pancake race takes place in a town called Olney, in the middle of England. People say that Olney has been celebrating pancake races since 1445!

Carnival Day

Carnival is a Western Christian festive season that occurs before the liturgical season of Lent. The main events typically occur during February or early March, during the period historically known as Shrovetide. Carnival typically involves a public celebration and/or combining some elements of a circus, masks, and a public street party. People wear masks and costumes during many such celebrations, allowing them to lose their everyday individuality and experience a heightened sense of social unity. Excessive consumption of alcohol, meat, and other foods proscribed during Lent is extremely common. Other common features of carnival include mock battles such as food fights; social satire and mockery of authorities; the grotesque body displaying exaggerated features, especially large noses, bellies, mouths, and phalli, or elements of animal bodies; abusive language and degrading acts;  general reversal of everyday rules and norms. The term Carnival is traditionally used in areas with a large Catholic presence. However, the Philippines, a predominantly Roman Catholic country, does not celebrate Carnival anymore since the dissolution of the Manila Carnival after 1939, the last carnival in the country. In historically Lutheran countries, the celebration is known as Fastelavn, and in areas with a high concentration of Anglicans and Methodists, pre-Lenten celebrations, along with penitential observances, occur on Shrove Tuesday. In Slavic Eastern Orthodox nations, Maslenitsa is celebrated during the last week before Great Lent. In German-speaking Europe and the Netherlands, the Carnival season traditionally opens on 11/11. This dates back to celebrations before the Advent season or with harvest celebrations of St. Martin's Day.
