HOLIDAYS AND FESTIVALS IN BRITAIN

Who doesn�t like holidays? Holidays usually mean not going to school or to work, they also mean nice food, presents and a lot of fun.

British people like them too. Here are some of the traditional holidays and festivals they celebrate:

1 January � New Year�s Day

14 February � St Valentine�s Day

March or April � Easter Festival

31 October � Halloween

5 November � Guy Fawkes� Night

25 December � Christmas Festival

The beginning of a new year is a time for celebrating and for making a new start. People wish each other �Happy New Year� and send special greeting cards. On New Year's Eve (December 31st) many people go to parties with their families, neighbours and friends. They go to bed after midnight to �see the New Year in� at 12 o�clock. In London people gather to celebrate in Trafalgar Square. From there they can hear Big Ben, the large clock at the Houses of Parliament. When Big Ben strikes, they all hug and kiss each other and shout �Happy New Year�. January 1st is a public holiday in Britain and the US. For older people it�s a quiet day in front of the television. But young people go out and meet their friends at parties, discos and different clubs.

On St Valentine�s Day people send a special greeting card (Valentine) to those who they love. It�s a tradition not to give the name of the sender. Some people buy presents for their sweethearts or give them red roses, a symbol of love.
