St. Patrick's Day


Today there ist the St. Patrick's Day, so i want to tell you some information about it. There are lots of parades with bagpipes and folklore. The people wear green clothes and believe in lucky charm.
The Irish have been consistently arriving in America. A consequence of this is that in many towns like New England, there are a lot of Irish people.

They are very traditional and have a beautiful song culture. One popular song is the Danny Boy, written by an English man who never visited Ireland. The song is about a farwell of a boy. A deep voice sings the song, it could be the father or the grandpa.

On this following picture you can see the Chicago River length of 156 miles that runs through the city of Chicago. It is popular for the St. Patrick's Day because of the green colour.

Christmas in America

I want to tell you about some Christmas tradition in America.
The Christmas eve is on the 24th December and the Christmas day on the 25th December.
Santa Claus in one of the biggest personalities in the christmas season. In the 1920s Coca Cola helped create the "modern" santa claus. His helpers are elfs, Mrs Claus and reindeers. The kids leave cookies and milk for Santa on the Christmas eve. They hang socks over their fire place to get little presents. Christmas Cookies in America are gingerbread, sugar cookies and peanut butter blossoms. The families bake different gingerbreadhouses, too. One popular drink is Eggnog mixed with milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon and spices. 
A light fight is held in America where the houses are decorated and there is a competition.

I hope you like my blog about Christmas tradition and you write a comment. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Food Pyramid

Let me give some information about the food pyramide. The base of the pyramde is starchy food like whole grain bread, rice, oil, crackers and potatoes. It is important for your health to eat a lot of grain products. It is also necessary to get some vitamins with different fruits like an apple, a pair, a pineapple and grapes. Tomatoes, carrots, pepper and lettuce are vegetabels and also vitamin-rich and belong to the second base. For protein you need meet, fish, nuts and beans. You shouldn't consume too much dairy products like milk, butter and cheese. On the top of the pyramide there are some sweets like chips or chocholate. Important is to eat little sugar and little fat.

I often eat fruits like apples and berries. I usually consum pasta and milk products. I seldom eat some chocholate or chips, too. It is not difficult for me to avoid junk food, because it is to greasy.

Wikipedia

I think Wikipedia is very interesting to find different summaries and to inform you about different topics. It is really practical to edit words or textes if you see something wrong. You can search every topic and you find a Wikipediapage about it or you can create one if there is not any.
But there are dangers on this website because there have been to many errors and spam vandals or to take false knowledge.



Sometimes I use Wikipedia as a jumping point or a fact-checked material. Admittedly I don't recommend this website for presentations. Wikipedia isn't accepted as a source of information at schools or colleges.
