Christmas but not as we know it all began with the birth of Christ, Jesus of Nazareth. It's all in the name 'Christmas' literally meaning the 'mass of Christ'. To Christians the Nativity of Jesus marks the birth of their religion and is annually celebrated and recreated in both churches and schools across the UK during the festive season. Essentially, we don't know when Jesus was born but the date the 25th of December was selected, the start of the winter solstice in the Roman calendar. According to the Roman theologian Augustine of Hippo, (yep that was his name) Jesus selected the shortest day of the year for symbolic reasons so that from this point onwards the days would only lengthen and brighten. It may be difficult to imagine but here in Britain Christmas as we know it was barely celebrated up until the mid to late 19th century in fact many people in corporations didn't even recognise it as a holiday but that was soon to change with the accession of Queen Victoria and primarily her marriage to the German born Prince Albert. Albert was keen on bringing over European traditions to the wider population in Britain. Many credit these two to having brought over the most recognisable aspects of Christmas we see here today. First came the Christmas tree often pine or made artificially. In 1848 the Illustrated London News published a drawing of the royal family celebrating beside a decorated Christmas tree and it wasn't long before almost every family in Britain had a tree of their own bedecked with small gifts, sweets and candles. Funnily enough this legacy of tree decoration leads to 15, people needing to visit the emergency room in hospital every year. Prince Albert himself does two really important things in relation to Christmas so the first thing he does is to introduce Christmas trees which are a German tradition, the second thing that Prince Albert does is he's very involved in the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Great Exhibition brings across a whole load of ideas from different countries but also pushes on industrialisation in Britain and that affects Christmas in a direct way because it allows us to for example produce things like Christmas cards and Christmas crackers and it allows us to have different types of food at Christmas as well so the Christmas card is developed by a gentleman called Henry Cole and Henry Cole was very influential at the Great Exhibition of 1851 he's instrumental in a number of key innovations during the Victorian period including the introduction of the penny postal system which allows people to send mail very cheaply. It's a great innovation but Henry Cole wants it to be used more and at Christmas time he notices that all of the messages that he's getting from family and friends are starting to kind of build-up and he wants a quick way to respond to these so he asks a friend of his to create a card it's just a post card and on it is an illustration of Henry and his family and it's three generations so it's him and his wife their children and a couple of grandchildren as well and that's in a coloured central panel in the middle of the post card and either side are two black-and-white illustrations which represent giving to the poor so it's kind of twin message of celebration with family and also of charity and this forms the first Christmas card. That's where Christmas cards sort of start. Christmas crackers, are supposedly and this is a very kind of I think this is one of those stories that you need to serve approach carefully so the gentleman called Tom Smith who is a confectioner so he makes sweets and he goes to a trip to Paris and he sees the Paris bonbons which are basically sugared almonds in little kind of coloured paper wrappers and he thinks 'oh these are nice I'll bring these back to England' and do something similar so he creates these and he thinks well why not kind of produce them as a sort of Christmas thing and put a little riddle or a little motto inside them?

Southampton, England. Best Time To Travel
Southampton is the largest city in the ceremonial county of Hampshire, England. Southampton is noted for its association with the Titanic. It is the home port of a number of the largest cruise ships in the world.
LOCATION
It is 70 miles (110 km) south-west of London and 15 miles (24 km) west north-west of Portsmouth. Southampton is a major port and the closest city to the New Forest. It lies at the northernmost point of Southampton Water at the confluence of the Rivers Test and Itchen. Southampton is influenced by the sea and rivers. The River Test runs along the western border of the city, separating it from the New Forest.
HISTORY
Archaeological finds suggest that the area has been inhabited since the stone age. Southampton has been a settlement since Roman and Saxon times. It was an important trading port and defensive outpost of Winchester. The Anglo-Saxons formed a new, larger, settlement across the Itchen centred on what is now the St Mary's area of the city. In 1912, the RMS Titanic sailed from Southampton.
CLIMATE
As with the rest of the UK, Southampton experiences an oceanic climate. Southampton is one of the warmest and sunniest cities in the United Kingdom, mainly due to its southerly, low-lying and sheltered location. Winters in Southampton are damp and rainy weather but not cold. The city is usually snow-covered 2-3 days annually. Nights can remain cold well into May. Summers are moderately warm and usually not rainy. Damp days however do happen even in July.
COMMUNICATION
Southampton is serviced by Southampton International Airport located a short distance outside the city in Eastleigh. It is a relatively small airport. From the airport, bus U1C goes to the city centre. The alternative is to use one of the London airports and travel on to Southampton by rail, car or bus.
ECONOMY
health and education sectors are main economy of Southampton. property and other business are 2nd sector and the third-largest sector is wholesale and retail. Southampton has always been a port, and the docks have long been a major employer in the city. In particular, it is a port for cruise ships as well as being the largest freight port on the Channel coast and fourth-largest UK port. Southampton is home to the headquarters of both the Maritime and Coastguard Agency.
