Greetings, Anglophiles!
December is almost here, and I suppose most of you are gearing up for the holiday season. If shopping at a Christmas market is part of your plans, then this week's article should interest you.

In the US, we just celebrated Thanksgiving, which is our official start to the Christmas season. For the occasion, I posted an article last week about the Pilgrims and the hardships that forced them to leave England for the New World, bringing the concept of Thanksgiving with them.

It's not to late to enter my contest to win a copy of "The Rough Guide to the Da Vinci Code". The winner has yet to be named! If this book interests you, why don't you come and play my trivia game?
