Un Nadal actual

S'acosta Nadal

Bona part de la tradició de l’arbre de Nadal s’origina en una llegenda europea.

Avui vull explicar-vos un conte.

Es diu que durant una freda nit d’hivern, un nen buscava refugi. Un llenyataire i la seva esposa van rebre’l a casa seva i li van donar de menjar. Durant la nit, el nen es va convertir en un àngel vestit d’or: era el nen Déu. Per recompensar la bondat dels ancians, va prendre una branca d’un pi i els va dir que la sembressin, prometent-los que cada any donaria fruits. I així va ser com aquell arbre va donar pomes d’or i nous de plata.

A mesura que passaven els anys, i amb l’arribada de l’hivern la família del llenyataire vestia els seus arbres (quan perdien fulles) perquè els bons esperits que en ells habitaven no marxesin. Els adornaven amb pomes o pedres pintades i així cada any tornava l’esperit de l’àngel.

Es diu que aquest va ser l’origen de l’arbre tal i com el coneixem avui. Les boles de cristall es van incorporar al voltant de l’any 1750 en Bohèmia i el costum de l’arbre es va estendre per Europa i Amèrica durant el segle XIX.

Aquí teniu com fer un arbre de paper, perqué no calen cristalls ni adornaments cars per cridar l’esperit del Nadal.

Smileys

Una curiositat que he trobat per internet... resulta que el món dels smileys-emoticones és només comprensible per Occident, ja que a l'Orient no llegeixen d'esquerra a dreta com nosaltres. I clar, també tenen el seu món de smileys, però en el seu "idioma". Curiós, oi? Mireu:
