One day when we returned home from fishing, we found a letter from Prince Edward VI of England. He invited us to the Palace for Christmas.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it was the end of November we immediately set about making preparations for our departure. We had a long journey ahead of us to reach the palace by the 25<sup>th<\/sup> of December. The Prince was very happy with our visit. He gave us a tour of the palace and introduced us to the rules and rituals of Christmas preparations in the palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First ,we decorated the Christmas tree , then we wrapped the presents in colorful paper and put them under the Christmas tree. It was fun . Finally we learnt a few Christmas carols. I really liked \u201cThe Silent Night\u201d ,which informed us about the birth of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most interesting thing was the hunting of wild boars and turkeys because it forms an important element of the Christmas dinner. Christmas pudding which is made from various&nbsp; dried fruits and syrup is also enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In London the Thames river freezes in winter. Traditionally men and women play football on the ice and we joined them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 12 o\u2019clock at night , a Christmas party was held in the palace&nbsp; in which the invited guests wore masks and danced. The Prince, myself, Edward and his friends unwrapped our presents , made wishes and were very happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally have the biggest wish of traveling around the world to different countries to experience their culture and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Vakhtang Elgandashvili<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I visited Huck and Tom in America in November and &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","cat_1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16419"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16420,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16419\/revisions\/16420"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
