skate if you haven't practiced
enough.
Учиться кататься может
быть трудно, если ты
недостаточно
практиковался.

Прогулка по воздуху

We're walking in the air
Мы гуляем по воздуху,
We're floating in the moonlit sky
Мы плаваем в лунном свете неба
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
А люди далеко внизу спят, в то время как мы летаем.
I'm holding very tight
Я держусь очень крепко,
I'm riding in the midnight blue
Я окунаюсь в полночную синеву.
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Оказалось, что я могу высоко летать рядом с тобой.
Far across the world...
Вокруг света...
The villages go by like trees
Деревни проносятся, словно деревья
The rivers and the hills
Реки и холмы,
The forests and the streams
Леса и реки

Children gaze open mouth
Дети, глядя, раскрыли рты,
Taken by surprise
Такой для них сюрприз —
Nobody down below believes their eyes
Никто внизу не верит своим глазам.

We're surfing in the air
Мы парим в воздухе
We're swimming in the frozen sky
Мы плаваем в ледяном небе
We're drifting over icy
Мы дрейфуем среди льда
Mountains floating by
Среди плывущих гор

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Внезапно погружаемся в глубокий океан,
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
Пробуждая могучего монстра ото сна...

We're walking in the air
Мы гуляем по воздуху,
We're floating in the midnight sky
Мы плаваем в лунном свете неба
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
И каждый, кто нас видит, приветствует наш полёт.
I'm holding very tight
Я держусь очень крепко,
I'm riding in the midnight blue
Я окунаюсь в полночную синеву.
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Оказалось, что я могу высоко летать рядом с тобой.

🤩😊☺️😊😊😊❤️ 😊😊😊☺️☺️ and his famous composition🤩

For us, New Year is often associated with the films “Irony of Fate” or the famous song of the wolf and the hare from “Well, Just you Wait.” In the UK, Christmas cannot be imagined without the cartoon “
😍😊☺️ 😊😊☺️😊😊😊😊.”⛄While we listen to romances like “I like that you are not sick with me…”, the English enjoy the wonderful melody “Walking In The Air.”

⛄Creation of the Cartoon

The idea for this song arose when British director Diana Jackson decided to adapt Raymond Briggs' book called “The Snowman.” It tells the story of a Snowman that a boy builds for Christmas. The Snowman comes to life and together with the boy heads to the North Pole to visit Santa Claus. Interestingly, this work contains no text — it features only bright illustrations reminiscent of comics.

🧙‍♂️Musical Accompaniment

The director applied the same approach in the cartoon, leaving the characters without words, and the music is only used at the beginning and in the aforementioned song “Walking In The Air.” To this melody, the Snowman and the boy float hand in hand over the nighttime earth.

⛄Inspiration for the Composition

Composer Howard Blake wrote this beautiful song and all the music for the cartoon; he also conducted the orchestra. Blake recalled that the phrase “Walking In The Air” came to him during a walk on the beach in Cornwall. He noted it down, and step by step, word by word, one of the most beautiful compositions emerged, which became a symbol not only of the cartoon but of Christmas itself.

❄️The song in the cartoon was performed by 13-year-old Peter Auty — a choirboy from St. Paul's Cathedral. Due to haste, his name was omitted from the cartoon's credits. This unfortunate mistake was only corrected in 2002, so most listeners believed that the voice in the cartoon belonged to another boy — Aled Jones — also a choirboy. The premiere of “The Snowman” took place on December 24, 1982, on Channel 4 in the UK. For its wonderful animation, the cartoon was justly nominated for an Oscar, but it did not win the award.

SITTING ON THE FENCE

🎄Definition:

To be undecided or refusing to choose a side.

🎄Example:

The kids wanted a dog. His wife wanted a cat. Jack was sitting on the fence over the issue. No matter which side he chose, it wasn’t going to make life easy for him.

🟩Origin:

Since the 1800s, sitting on the fence has been a popular phrase, especially when discussing political matters. It’s purely visual in nature. Hopping down one side of that fence takes you in one direction, hopping down the other side takes you in the opposite direction. Sitting there gets you nowhere at all.

СИДЕТЬ НА ЗАБОРЕ

🎄Определение:

Быть нерешительным или отказываться занять какую-либо сторону.

🎄Пример:

Дети хотели собаку. Его жена хотела кота. Джек сидел на заборе по этому вопросу. Независимо от того, какую сторону он выберет, это не сделает его жизнь легче.

🎄Происхождение:

С 1800-х годов выражение "сидеть на заборе" стало популярным, особенно при обсуждении политических вопросов. Оно имеет чисто визуальную природу. Перепрыгнув с одной стороны забора, ты идёшь в одном направлении, перепрыгнув с другой — в противоположном. Сидя там, ты никуда не дойдёшь.

☺️Еxample:
Пример

When it came to the vacation plans, Lisa was sitting on the fence, unable to decide between the beach or the mountains.

Когда речь заходила о планах на отпуск, Лиза колебалась, не в силах решить, выбрать ли пляж или горы.

🤩 What is the Background and
Development of Christmas
Caroling?🎼

The origins of Christmas Caroling can be traced back to pre-Christian Europe. People once celebrated the winter solstice with dances and songs honouring the new season. These songs spoke about brighter days ahead, a type of hope, but they weren’t Christian.

Christianity began to spread across Europe, and early church leaders tried to incorporate local customs into the local churches. Around the fifth century, priests adapted these songs into hymns that glorified the birth of Jesus. The first of these hymns were written in Latin, including “Gloria in Excelsis Deo,” a chant connecting to the angelic declaration the night Christ was born (Luke 2:14). The priests would sing these songs, and the common people didn’t understand them since the songs were in Latin.

Caroling as we know it developed with St. Francis of Assisi. In 1223, Francis introduced nativity plays in Italy, which eventually became the Nativity sets in homes today. He included songs in these plays. The songs were written and sung in the local Italian language instead of Latin. This allowed the common people to engage with and better understand the story of Christ’s birth. The “carols” moved from a sacred church ritual to a public expression and celebration.

During the Middle Ages, carols continued to evolve, becoming more festive and community-oriented. Local and traveling musicians started singing carols in town squares and other local gatherings. Like many hymns, these songs borrowed from folk melodies and used Christian themes and lyrics. Caroling usually involved dancing, which added to its popularity. However, the Protestant Reformation (16th century) limited or removed the dancing tradition. Those reformers looked down on party-type music and activity.

Christmas caroling found new momentum in the 18th and 19th centuries, mainly in England. Charles Wesley and Isaac Watts wrote hymns that would later become commonly sung over Christmas, like “Joy to the World.” At the same time, people compiled older folk carols like “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” into songbooks. These compilations helped spread Christmas songs to churches and homes. Next, Victorian England became fascinated with Christmas with writings like Charles Dickens’ story, A Christmas Carol. Carolers began to visit homes and sang songs for warm drinks or small tokens. English customs like these made their way to America, as well.

🤩The History of Christmas Hymns in the United Kingdom

Christmas hymns have a long and rich history in the United Kingdom, dating back to the early Middle Ages. The earliest hymns were often written in Latin and performed in churches during Christmas celebrations. One of the earliest and most well-known hymns from this period is "Adeste Fideles," which became popular due to its melodies and lyrics dedicated to Christmas.

In the 16th century, a new wave of Christmas hymns emerged in England as the Protestant Reformation led to the need for hymns in the English language.

Today, Christmas hymns continue to play an important role in the celebration of Christmas in the United Kingdom, bringing people together and creating a sense of community and joy during this special time of year.

🎄Some of the most beautiful
and famous Christmas hymns
are:

- O Come All Ye Faithful
- O Holy Night
- Silent Night
- In the Bleak Mid-Winter
- Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
- It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
- Joy to the World
- God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
- Ding Dong! Merrily on High
- The First Nowell
- Twelve Days of Christmas
- We Wish You a Merry
Christmas
- Jingle Bells
