What other ways did women make a contribution to the war effort?

Nanna:

You know, over 30 000 women enlisted in the armed services.

Mexican children: children:Hello. Here’s what we do at Christmas time.

We take part in nine Posada processions, The first is on December 16th.

Re-enacting Mary and Joseph’s search for an inn, The last is on Christmas Eve. We also enjoy breaking Pinatas Which are large jugs made from clay.

They are filled with sweets and toys That we enjoy on these special days.

Mrs Claus places presents near the Pinata. The children strike the Pinata softly with the sticks. It should be made to easily fall apart. There is a mad scramble when it does.
