CHRISTMAS LEGENDS IN JAPAN

In Japan, Christmas didn't exist and, in very recent times, it was borrowed from Europe. It is celebrated by decorating the festive cities, with Christmas trees and lighted lanterns, typically Japanese, hanging on every corner of the street. Gifts are exchanged and the wealthiest families give something to the poorest to allow them to spend this festive day in joy. The figure that replaces Santa Claus and brings gifts is called Hoteiosha.

COLOMBINA

The Colombina mask is originally from Venice, is a character liar, but also smart and talkative. Colombina is a very old mask, its figure was already mentioned in 1530 in the texts of the Intronati Accademici do Siena. She embodies the comic type of the pretty little maid. She's seductive, very lively and she is the perfect female image of Arlecchino.

THOR

My favourite hero is Thor, from the Marvel. Thor, known as the God of Thunders, is the heir to the throne of Asgard, son of Odin and Gaea. Thanks to the powers derived from his double heritage and the enchanted hammer Mjolnir, Thor is one of the strongest and most important protectors of both worlds. He also possesses many superhuman powers. While Odin was considered king of the gods, Thor was in fact much loved by the Scandinavians.

No Excuse Will Satisfy A Tyrant

A wolf came upon an unprotected lamb, but didn't eat her immediately. 
The wolf decided to find a good excuse to eat the lamb. 
He said, "last year you insulted me very much."
The frightened lamb pleaded, "last year I wasn't yet born."
Then the wolf complained, "you feed from my grass."
The lamb trembled, but said, "I have not yet eaten grass."
"Well," snarled the wolf, "you drink from my well."
"Oh no!," belated the lamb. "I drink only my mother's milk." 
The wolf patience.
"I must have my supper, whatever you say," he snapped. 
Then the wolf grabbed the lamb and ate her.
