Christmas is coming! :3

Christmas is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated  on December 25 by billions of people around the world. The most important pagan figure of Christmas is Santa Claus. He is associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season. Christmas Day is celebrated as a major festival and public holiday in countries around the world, including many whose populations are mostly non-Christian. A small number of Christians have adopted many of the secular aspects of Christmas, like decorations, Christmas trees and lights. The traditional colors of Christmas decorations are red, green, and gold. I LOVE CHRISTMAS, BUT TODAY ISN'T LIKE LAST YEARS. 

-Last Christmas.
-All I want for Christmas is You. :P

My free time.☺

In my free time I love meeting friends. Sometimes I play cards with my brother Daniele, but I like also listening to music, especially Ligabue!^^
I love Ligabue's songs, but I hate rap music. I can't stand playing videogames; I think that they are stupid! In my free time I don't mind staying at home. I like so much reading a book. In the books there is a fantastic world!

He's LIGABUE!♥

Queen Elizabeht II and the Commonwealth.

Elizabeth II is the constitutional monarch of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth is an intergovernmental organisation of 53 member states that were mostly territories of the British Empire.

This is the flag of the Commonwealth.

These countries are member of the Commonwealth.

Elizabeth II is also Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
Elizabeth was born in London and educated privately at home. Her father was George VI. In 1947 she married Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark; they have four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward.

The U.K and the Royal Family.

The U.K is a political Union of 4 Countries: England, Scotland, Wales and North Ireland.
The capital of the U.K is London. London is also the capital of England, in fact the Government resides in London.
The U.K is a constitutional monarchy with a Parliament. The Parliament governs the country, not the Monarch. The Parliament in the U.K. is divided into two Houses: the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
The Monarch of the U.K is Queen Elizabeth II of Windsor who belongs to the Windsor dynasty. Originally the family name was different, it was not Windsor; originally the family name was German, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Elizabeth's Grandfather, the king,  changed the name to Windsor in 1917, because the German surname was very unpopular. The first Windsor was King George V, after the new King was Edward VIII for a short time, because he abdicated in favour of his brother George VI, Elizabeth's father. When he died, Elizabeth became the new Queen.
She married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland.
They've got four children: Prince Charles, Prince of Wales (the first son has the title of Prince of Wales.), Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.
Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. They have two children, Prince William and Prince Harry. Two years ago Prince William married Kate Middleton and they have one child, George Alexander Louis.

The Fray - How To Save A Life

How to save a life.

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say "Sit down it's just a talk"
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came 

[Chorus]
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life 

Let him know that you know best
'cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you [x2] 

[Chorus]
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
"Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed"
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came 

[Chorus x2]
How to save a life [x2]

[Chorus x2]
