HAPPY HOLIDAYS

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Now you deserve to relax and enjoy the Christmas holidays. So today we will enjoy the watching of a pantomime, a funny British play performed at Christmas for all the family. Pantos usually represent a well-known fairy tale, but in a funnier way, with men dressed as women or viceversa. But first, it would be a good idea to remember the original story, because the panto changes it a little bit. Ladies and gentlemen... "Little Red Riding Hood". Have fun!!!

Merry Christmas to you all!!!
