A lot of Americans cerebrate Christmas the same.  They have lights for decoration. They have a ever green tree with a angle on top. We have presents and stockings filled with candy and surprises. Have you ever wondered if other countries celebrate Christmas. You can know how Christmas is celebrated in Mexico and Canada.

We usually don’t celebrate holidays for multiple days. Though mexico does that with Christmas,  it lasts from December 16th to January 6th.  Instead of of colorful lights they have paper lanterns and moss for decoration. They also have pinatas to break upon on this Christmas days. We all know the Christmas tree is the most important decoration for us, but in mexico it is becoming more popular in Mexico.

I thought that Canada’s Christmas would be a lot different, I was wrong. They have the same decorations lights, trees and stockings. Some people open their presents on Christmas eve or wait until Christmas day. Just like we believed in Santa clause the children in Canada believe in him. Canada is very similar in celebrating Christmas.

In 1914   World war One started when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. Russia was blamed for this and then war was declared on Russia on the first of August. They formed allies which was the United States with Britain, Italy, Russia, and France which were the allies. Germany, Ottoman Empire, Austria, and Bulgaria they were the central powers.

Some of the weapons of WW1 were machine guns, rifles, and poison gas. Rifles were used every where in the war. Poison gas were chlorine gas and mustard gas both attacked the eyes and the respiratory system. Machine guns were used to take down multiple soldiers in a short time when they were charging trenches. The biggest killer was artillery. It killed more people then any other weapon..

World war one stared in 1914 and ended in 1918 when Germany surrendered. For three years the United states stayed uninvolved in the war. Then in 1917 they joined the war. Russia left the war in 1917 so they could build up a communist government. Then in 1918 Germany surrendered to the allies.

The one major accomplishment we have had is emailing the district and the principal. The district told us we had to contact the school’s principal. We did and we got a email back that day. He said we have to ask for permission from our principal. We have not gotten to that yet.

Our December goals are getting permission to use posters in our school and to use the track. That is our accomplishments and goals so far.
