Christmas Tradicion
Mistletoe
Mistletoe was used by Druid priests 200 years before the birth of Christ in their winter celebrations. They revered the plant since it had no roots yet remained green during the cold months of winter.
The ancient Celtics believed mistletoe to have magical healing powers and used it as an antidote for poison and to ward of evil spirits.
The plant was also seen as a symbol of peace, and it is said that enemies who met under mistletoe would lay down their weapons and embrace.
Scandanavians associated the plant with Frigga, their goddess of love.Those who kissed under the mistletoe had the promise of happiness and good luck in the following year.

What do I use a computer for?
I use a comuter for lots of things. The first thing is doing homework. We often have homeworks on the Internet. For example, tasks in this English electronic book and tasks by Russian language, where we may search some information about writers.
I use a computer for surfing the Internet and communicate with friends.Sometimes I send e-mails.But usually I just send messages in an ICQ or in a skype.
Sometimes I play computer games,but I do this seldom,because I'm not really interested in computer games.
Else I use a computer for read dairies of other people.This is very exiting and interesting.
I use a computer for listening to music, too.
Only thing, that I don't do on the Internet is shopping.I just don't like this.
