Christmas Caroling

One interesting Christmas tradition is Christmas caroling. People go from house to house singing Christmas carols. Oftentimes, young people from church groups or other organizations go to homes for the elderly, or other similar institutions, and sing Christmas carols to spread some holiday cheer.

to go Christmas caroling = o ato de sair para cantar serenatas de natal de casa em casa

Christmas carols = hinos e canções de natal

young people = jovens

homes for the elderly = azilos

spread some holiday cheer = uma frase comum para esta época que significa mais ou menos "espelhar a alegria das Festas"

Now it's your turn to write a little bit about Christmas carols. Is it common in your country?

Today I'm gonna talk about the candy cane!

The candy cane is a traditional Christmas holiday treat. It is in the shape of a cane, and usually has red and white stripes, and is flavored with peppermint or cinnamon. It is common to hang them on the Christmas tree and then take them off and eat them on Christmas day.

• treat = guloseima
• cane = bengala
• is flavored with = é temperado com
•  take off = tirar

One legend has it that the candy cane originated as a testimony to the true meaning of why Christ came to earth. The J-shape stands for the name Jesus. Red represents His blood that was shed on the cross for our sins, and white represents the cleansing of our sins through faith in His sacrifice.

•  one legend has it = diz uma lenda
•  j-shape = formato da letra "J"
• stands for, phrasal verb = representa
• through faith = por intermédio da fé
