In one of the most moving scenes in the story, the ghost of Christmas present took Scrooge to watch the Cratchit family celebrate Christmas. Even know the Cratchit family were poor, they were all thankful just to be together and have a goose to feast upon. Bob Cratchit even showed his respects to Scrooge by making a toast. ‘He hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon Christmas day, who made lame beggars walk and blind men see. ‘God bless us everyone!’ Dickens is giving the Christmas image which is all about getting together and feasting.
Body: What is Jell-O and where did it come from? Over 100 years ago in 1897, Pearl Wait and his wife created Jell-O out of the comfort of their own home. The couple purchased gelatin which at that time had no flavor and many were trying to make it into something wonderful.

Every December we’re treated to How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and each year young kids are introduced to classics like Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat, yet the wider public does not appear to know much about the man behind these famous works.

I asked, “Hey, did you guys order the cake yet? Did you, did you?” He answered, “Well, if I tell you now I’ll ruin the surprise but if I don’t you’ll keep annoying me until I tell you, so I’ll just show you the cake.” He went to the refrigerator to take out the heart cake about sixteen inches long. I thought it was too big but I guess his parents wanted him to have the best sixteenth birthday party ever. I think it looks like chocolate devil’s food cake and it said, “Happy Sixteenth Birthday, Mark!” on the top of the cake. It might not be chocolate devil’s food cake but I know it is chocolate flavor because chocolate is Mark’s favorite flavor for cake and ice-cream.

Persimmons are not berries, in fact they look like small-size pumpkin. Usually, persimmons will bear fruit in the fall and the leaves will shade too. However, it will appear again in the summer.
