With bony bodies, bony heads

Bony bony bony bones

with nothing in between,

Up and down and all around

they march on _________________.(Halloween)

I know so many secrets

Such secrets full of fun;

But if you hear my secrets,

Please don't tell anyone.

Here are some lights that twinkle,

Here is an ornament

Here is a great big present

From Grandpa it was sent.

And on the very tip-tip top,

An angel you can see,

What is the secret? Can't you tell?

Why, it's a _______________ tree! (Christmas)

Now St. ____________ is here.

We greet his birthday with a cheer.

For happiness from friend to friend

Flies with the ___________ we send.

Today as _________ go out

To people near and far,

This one I'm sending right to you

To say how nice you are. (Valentine)

IT’S HALLOWEEN

It`s Halloween! It`s Halloween!

The moon is full and bright

And we shall see what can`t be seen

on any other night:

Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,

Grinning goblins fighting duels,

Werewolves rising from their tombs,

Witches on their magic brooms.

My Christmas Wish For You

My Christmas wish for you, my friend

Is not a simple one

For I wish you hope and joy and peace

Days filled with warmth and sun

I wish you love and friendship too

Throughout the coming year

Lots of laughter and happiness

To fill your world with cheer.

Valentine's Day

If I could be the postman

For just one single time,

I'd choose to carry Valentines

So lovely and so fine.

I would not mind the heavy load,

Or mind my tired feet.

If I could scatter happiness

All up and down the street.

1. Halloween

The history of Halloween goes back more than 2,000 years. The earliest celebrations of Halloween were among the Celtic people. The Celts were a group of people who lived in present day Ireland and England from about the 5th century BC. They believed that Halloween is a time when magic is most potent and spirits can make contact with the physical world. According to belief all kinds of witches and goblins wandered abroad on this night. On that day people lit bonfires to honour the sun god and to keep away evil spirits.

Nowadays Halloween is a festival of fun for kids and adults. People dress up as witches, skeletons and ghosts and go to masquerade parties. Such events take place on October 31.

There are various symbols of Halloween such as Halloween black cats, bats, skeletons, witches, terrifying masks and carved pumpkins. These symbols are used to decorate homes, costumes, gift paper, cards, cookies, cakes and candy.

Carving pumpkins into Jack-o’-lanterns is a traditional Halloween custom. Today jack-o’-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let children know that there are presents or sweets waiting if they knock and say “Trick or Treat!”

There are many others traditional Halloween activities. Some of these include watching horror films, telling ghost stories and playing Halloween games. The most popular game is Bobbing for apples. This game is one of the traditional games used for fortunetelling on Halloween night. The rules of the game are easy. The first person who gets an apple out of the water without using hands would be the first to marry.

Also Halloween is sometimes called “Nutcracker Night” or “Snap-Apple Night”. Families sit usually by the fire and tell stories while they ate apples and nuts.

2. Christmas Customs

Christmas around the world: In Italy, children receive gifts from the good witch La Befana, old, bent and dressed in black.

In Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico and South America, the Three Kings or Wise Men bring Christmas gifts to children, while in France children eagerly await the coming of Father Christmas or Pere Noel who brings their gifts.

In some cultures, Saint Nicholas travels with an assistant. The old bishop Sinterklass arrives in Holland on December 6 in his red bishop’s costume riding a white horse. In many port towns, he is said to have sailed in on a ship from Spain. Beside him walks Black Peter with a black sack and a book recording each Dutch child’s behavior through the year. Good children receive a gift from the bishop while bad children may be carried away in Black Peter’s sack.

In Germany Saint Nicholas also travels with a helper, known as Knecht Ruprecht, Krampus, or Pelzebock, and comes with a sack on his back and a rod or switches in his hand. Saint Nicholas gives gifts to good children, while those who have been bad are punished by the assistant with a few hits of a switch.

Swedish children wait for the gnome Jultomten, also called Julemanden or Julenisse, who dresses in red and carries a sack of gifts on his back. He flies in his sleigh pulled by the Julbocker, the goats of Thor, the god of thunder. Elves, called the Juul Nisse, hide in the attics of families throughout the year, eagerly waiting to help him. Children leave bowls of milk or rice pudding in the attic for the elves, hoping they will be empty in the morning.

3. St. Valentine’s day

There are several legends about St. Valentine's Day. One of the legends says that Valentine was Christian priest who lived in the 3 century A.D. He was put into prison by roman authorities for his teachings and was beheaded on February 14. According to the legend he performed a miracle — he cured his jailer's daughter of her blindness. Before the execution he wrote her a letter signed «From Your Valentine». Another legend says that the same Valentine wrote to children and friends who loved him from the jail.

According to another legend, Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived at about the same time. He was thrown into prison because he secretly married couples, contrary to the laws of the Roman empire. The legend says that he was burnt at the stake.

February 14 was also a Roman holiday. On this day young men randomly chose the name of the girl to escort to the festival. The custom of choosing a sweetheart on this day became very popular in the medieval Europe. Later this custom spread to American colonies.

Now, St. Valentine's Day is the day of sweethearts. On this day, people show their friends relatives and loved ones that they care. People send candy or flowers to those whom they love. Most people send «valentines», greeting cards named after St. Valentine's letters written from jail. Valentines can be sentimental and romantic, or funny and friendly. Valentines can be anonymous. Valentines can be heart-shaped or can carry hearts on them. People buy valentines or make them themselves.
