Summary
Advent is a period of four weeks before Christmas, 25th December. Each Sunday, during Advent, churches lighting a candle. British people aren’t very religious these days, but they all celebrate Christmas. Shops in Britain are responsible for that people buy their Christmas presents earlier and earlier, it starts in September or October. People in Britain spend a lot of money on Christmas, over £600 per person. They buy Christmas decorations, Christmas cards, presents, wrapping paper and most important food (roast turkey or goose, chocolates, nuts and snacks). Children are the most excited, they are making presents list and they have most of the time an Advent calendar.
My opinion
I like Christmas too, but we don’t have the opportunity to celebrate it this year and this year I’m on holiday in Egypt during Christmas. I can imagine how the atmosphere is in Britain during the Advent, especially in London. All the people are exciting, buying presents and other things for Christmas, the beautiful shop streets with coloured lights and music, with all happy kids. I’m very surprised that the people in Britain spend over £600 per person for Christmas. That’s a huge amount of money. We Dutch people don’t buy that much for Christmas. When I was I had also an Advent calendar, that was funny I remember.

After I read this article I felt disgusting. The idea that a worm can hide in your brains is terrible. I never knew that a worm can live in your brains. The way they came behind the worm is very strange in my opinion. That the doctors could not see the different between a tumor and a worm is very shocking in my opinion.
