GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE, TODAY I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT FESTIVALS AND HOLIDAYS SO LET'S GET

STARTED.
IF YOU WANT FUN AND SKIN BENEFITS AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAVE TO GO TO THIS FESTIVAL.
MUD FESTIVAL.
IN THE AMAZING CITY OF BORYEONG IN SOUTH KOREA THE MUD FESTIVAL HAS BEEN CELEBRATING
SINCE 1988 EVERY SUMMER, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS FESTIVAL IS ABOUT, BASICALLY THIS
FESTIVAL HAS TO DO WITH ALL KINDS OF ACTIVITIES SUCH AS CONCERTS, DANCES AND FIREWORKS
AND ALL THAT WITH MUD.
WHY MUD? BASICALLY THE PROBLEM THAT BORYEONG HAD WAS MUD AND TOURISTS DIDN´T GO THERE
BECAUSE IT WAS TOO MUDDY, SO THE PRESIDENT OF KOREA STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND OUT
THAT THE MUD HAS SKIN RESTORING PROPERTIES AND OBVIOUSLY THAT NEWS BECAME VERY FAMOUS
AND A LOT PEOPLE STARTED GOING TO THIS PLACE.
THIS IS A YOUTH FESTIVAL BECAUSE IT IS MAINLY YOUNG PEOPLE ATTEND AND IT IS SEASONAL
BECAUSE IT IS HELD EVERY SUMMER.
THE MUD FESTIVAL WILL BE SOMETHING YOU WILL NOT FORGET, SO IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO GO.
A TIP: WHEN YOU GO TO THE MUD FESTIVAL, DON'T WEAR CLOTHES YOU WANT TO KEEP!
THE NEXT FESTIVAL IS A LITTLE CONTROVERSIAL .
THE COLACHO FESTIVAL
IN THIS FESTIVAL MEN WILL HAVE TO JUMP OVER BABIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, THIS FESTIVAL
REPRESENTS THE TRIUMPH OF GOOD OVER EVIL, PEOPLE DO IT BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT THE DEVIL ABSORBS
THE SINS OF BABIES AND PROVIDES THEM WITH PROTECTION AGAINST DISEASES AND MISFORTUNES, AT THE
COLACHO FESTIVAL THE MEN WEAR RED AND YELLOW MASKS AND CLOTHES.

EL COLACHO IS A RELIGIOUS AND NATIONAL FESTIVAL THAT IS CELEBRATED ANNUALLY ON

SUNDAYS IN THE TOWN OF CASTRILLO DE MURCIA IN SPAIN, IT HAS BEEN CELEBRATING SINCE
1921.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MY POINT OF VIEW ON THIS FESTIVAL I DON'T LIKE IT, I´M DISAGREE
WITH THIS FESTIVAL AND I HOPE THEY DO NOT CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE THIS WAY, EVEN IF
TO DATE THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF INJURIES, THE BABIES ARE STILL IN DANGER AND THEY
COULD GET HURT.
AND FINALLY A HOLIDAY THAT WE ALL KNOW.
CHRISTMAS
CHRISTMAS IS A CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY IN WHICH THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST IS COMMEMORATED
AND CELEBRATED ON DECEMBER 25. EVEN IF IT IS A CHRISTIAN, RELIGIOUS AND TRADITIONAL
HOLIDAY, CHRISTMAS IS ALSO CURRENTLY CELEBRATED BY NON-CHRISTIANS AS AN OCCASION OF
REUNION AND RECONCILIATION BETWEEN FAMILY AND CLOSE FRIENDS.
AT CHRISTMAS TIME IT IS COMMON FOR FAMILIES TO DRESS UP IN COSTUMES, GET TOGETHER AT
A DINNER AND IN SOME CASES HAVE PARTIES.
SOME OF THE TRADITIONS OF THIS HOLIDAY ARE:
THE CHRISTMAS TREE: THE TREE HAS BECOME A SYMBOL OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS AND IN
CATHOLIC HOMES, THE TREE IS PREPARED ON DECEMBER 8.
CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER. DURING CHRISTMAS EVE IT IS COMMON IN MANY PLACES FOR FAMILIES
TO GET TOGETHER TO SHARE A PLENTY DINNER, IN SOME FAMILIES WHEN IT IS MIDNIGHT THEY
GIVE GIFTS TO EACH OTHER, BUT IN OTHER COUNTRIES, THE GIFTS ARE OPENED ON THE
MORNING OF THE 25TH .
THE CHRISTMAS SONGS. THE CHURCH STARTED TO PROMOTE RELIGIOUSLY THEMED CAROLS, SO
THAT THEY WERE SONG DURING PROCESSIONS AND OTHER RELIGIOUS CELEBRATIONS
