Tell us all about carnival! Do you celebrate carnival in your country? How do you celebrate? Do you have a special carnival party? Do you wear a fancy-dress costume? Do you eat any special food? Do you have a day off school?

In Spain, the carnival is very typical. We wear fancy dress. We wear funny masks and we eat sweet cakes. There is a king of the carnival called "Carnestoltes''. There is always music and a parade!

I celebrate Carnival at school playing in my fancy-dress costume and eating special food. We eat snacks like "Orejas" and pancakes. "Orejas" is a special recipe from Galicia, Spain and you need flour, eggs, water with salt, sugar, butter, aniseed and baking powder. I love "orejas" ! This year I'm wearing a Dark Vader fancy-dress costume. We have three days off school. In my city, in Vigo, we go to the streets and wear our fancy dresses and play with other boys and girls.

Hi!
This morning I woke up by my alarm clock at 2:00 am because It was broken! And it was the weekend! I was SO annoyed so I decided to fight it! In the end, I don't know who won. I was awake and shivering because it was still early and my alarm clock was broken. Oops....

Hi Yellow Fairy Ring,

There are lots of parties in Spain. In most cities and towns there is a 'Fiesta mayor' in the summer. This is usually a whole week of concerts and special activities. In my village we have concerts and parties in the square every evening, and in the daytime there are activities for everyone, children, adults and old people. It's good fun!

What do you do to celebrate the Charity Escapade? That sounds like fun, and you raise money too. I like the idea! 

Best wishes, Miss Lucky Mouse (website editor)

Hello Hello Baby! (8)
I'm Gabriela, and I live in Brazil!
My carnival usually is boring (ý) I stay at home watching the Rio de Janeiro carnival! I like Unidos da Tijuca and Grande Rio. This year, who won was Beija Flor, they were very beautiful, talking about "the king", Roberto Carlos.
On the tuesday of carnival, I went to the matinee because I'm not old enough to go on carnival night D: yeah, this is sad!
But still I had fun with my friends. ;]
Kisses for everybody,  *o*

  • In our city Galati , Romania  we celebrating the St. Andrew holiday. On this holiday we are getting a day off school and we can wear strange costumes. The strange thing is that we have to eat a lot of garlic, because in the nigth the ghosts will come to visit  us and we have to vanish them back.

Last weekend held the carnival in my village. I went with my cousin and her friends and my sister asking for food, drinks or money dressed up. My counsin was little red riding hood, one of her friends was a nun and the other was a Robin Hood girl;my sister was a parrot and I was a mine-worker. We saw a famous  man. My mother made crêpes and "ears" food tipical in Galicia. I had a lot of fun.
