The Queen's 2011 Christmas Broadcast

Every Christmas, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II addresses the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth with a special Christmas message.

You can watch Her Majesty speaking of families, friends and communities in this year's broadcast to the Commonwealth.

What is the Commonwealth? Do you know what it is?

The Commonwealth is a name for some countries which were part of the British Empire before they became independent. This group of states works together on many important matters, like business, health and the fight against poverty.

The Commonwealth of Nations is a group of countries. Originally, it was called the British Commonwealth of Nations which was founded in 1926 when the British Empire began to break-up. Now, there are 53 member countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. All except Mozambique were part of the British Empire. There are some other associations having similar sounding names. For example, the Commonwealth of Australia or the Commonwealth of Independent states. But, the Commonwealth of Nations is different and a separate organization.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING... Let's shake it up a bit!

Can you feel that Christmas is coming? Our school is certainly into the Christmas spirit already with all the decorations.


Do you know Train's Xmas song - "Shake Up Christmas"? You can find the lyrics below!

Shake up the happiness

Wake up the happiness

Shake up the happiness

It's Christmas time

There's a story that I was told

And I wanna tell the world

Before I get to old

And don't remember it

So let's December it

And reassemble it

Once upon a time in a town like this

A little girl made a great big wish

To fill the world full of happiness

And be on Santa's magic list

Chorus:

Shake it up

Shake up the happiness

Wake it up

Wake up the happiness

Come on y'all

It's Christmas time

At the same time miles away

A little boy made a wish that day

That the world would be okay

And Santa Claus would hear him say

I got dreams and I got love

I got my feet on the ground

And family above

Can you send some happiness?

With my best to the rest

Of the people of the East and the West And

Maybe every once in a while you

Get my grandma a reason to smile

It’s the season of smile

It's cold but we'll be freezing in style

Let me meet a girl one day that

Wants to spread some love this way

We can let our souls run free and

She can open some happiness with me

Chorus

I know you're out there

I hear your reindeer

I see the snowing

Your boots have been

I'm gonna show them

So they will know then

Then love will grow in

Then to live again

Chorus
