The Red-Nosed Reindeer
W dzisiejszą wigilijną noc (Christmas Eve night) w swą coroczną podróż wyrusza Święty Mikołaj (Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, Father Christmas) wraz ze swoimi pomocnikami czyli reniferami (reindeer). Każdy chyba dobrze wie, że bez reniferów, które ciągną sanie (sleigh) Mikołaja nie byłoby prezentów pod naszymi choinkami (Christmas tree) i mnóstwa uśmiechów.

Christmas greeting in English
W dobie komputerów i wszechobecnej technologi niewiele jest już osób, które ręcznie wypisują kartki z życzeniami bożonarodzeniowymi (Christmas cards). Ja robię to każdego roku w przyjemnością i zawsze znajdę na to czas. W tym roku, po raz pierwszy, mam okazję wypisać kartkę świąteczną po angielsku. Które w poniższych życzeń Wam się najbardziej podobają?
Merry Christmas! - Wesołych Świąt!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! - Wesołych Świąt i szczęśliwego Nowego Roku!

names of the months
January is the first month of the year. January is named for Janus, the Roman god of doors and gates. Also, the word 'janitor', with the previous meaning of 'doorkeeper', comes from the name od two-faced Janus.
The names of February comes either from the Roman god Februus or else from 'februa', the festivals of purification celebrated in Rome every fifteenth of this month.
March is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. The connection is even easier to make in French, where March is simply 'Mars'.
April is named in honour of the ancient goddess of love, Aphrodite. Another theory is that the name could come from the Latin word 'aperire', meaning 'to open', referring to flowers opening in spring.
May is likely to have been named after the Roman goddess Maia, though there is a theory that May might have its name from the Latin 'Maiores', meaning 'Seniors'.
