A) In the England of William Shakespeare, Christmas was an important festival. A lot of food was eaten and a lot of alcohol was drunk, music was played, songs were sung and people danced until late at night. A lot of sweet things were eaten, like biscuits, but there were no turkeys in England at that time. They came from America much later. By 1720 –1770 everything was different. Christmas was not celebrated at all. Many families went on holiday at Christmas time, not in the summer as they do now, and the festival of Christmas was forgotten. The Christmas festival that we know started from 1840 –1870. Rooms were decorated in the same way and the same food was eaten as now.
B) Coffee was first drunk in Arabia in the 15th century. It was introduced into Europe in the 17th century. Today, it is grown in Africa and South America and it is drunk all over the world.
