   Christmas Day is the greatest feast day of all, and it lasts twelve days. The people clean up the houses, before they decorate the houses with holly, and ivy. They send Christmas cards to their friends at Christmas. In every house the people have a big dinner on Christmas Day. They cook a goose, or a turkey, and they have plum puddings often. Good Friday is the day Our Lord died on the cross. Mostly everybody goes to the church on that day in honour and commemoration of the death of Our Lord. they also make the stations of the cross on that day.

   A stitch in time saves nine.
   A rolling stone gathers no moss.
   A new broom sweeps clean.
   Too many cooks spoil the broth.
   A watched pot never boils.
   Necessity is the mother of invention.
   Early to bed, and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
   An idle man tempts the devil.
   A lie has no legs.
