Did Coke really turn Santa red and white?

He's got his own style and he sticks to it. Father Christmas is the universally recognised symbol of the festive season.But the red suit and hat with the white fur trim have given rise to the belief among some that Santa's togs were dreamed up like the red can of Coca-Cola. The colours are widely thought to derive from the original Saint Nicholas, who was the Bishop of Myra in the 4th Century.Father Christmas is an evolutionary creation, influenced by folklore, legend and religion.E.D 3º ESO

MONFRAGÜE

Today I'll have talk about the next excursion we will make any students of 4th ESO 1st Bachillerato and 2nd Bachillerato The days 7, 8 and 9 April we are going to the National Park Monfragüe. Monfragüe is in Cáceres (Extremadura). The excursion we do with biology and go to sleep in cabins of 8 10 or 12 people. I think it will be a great excursion and very funny. When we're not all there will be laughter and we'll have to get up early and walk a lot, but probably worth the effort. The routes that we have done are raised to see much wildlife and many varieties of animals. The price is cheap, 45 € the three days, so if it does not include the food, we have to bring us the house Those chosen to go to excursion were chosen by lottery as there was space for everyone. Here you have some pictures of the landscape Monfragüe. PARQUE NATURAL DE MONTFRAGÜE
