Christmas
Christmas in England is biggest
celebration of the year. Quite unlike the New Year’s Day, which is usually, dedicated
to big and noisy parties Christmas is a home and family holiday. In Western
Europe people usually have special Christmas holidays, which last for about ten
days. These are used to get ready properly.
Christmas time is the busiest for
housewives. Most shops have season sales so they get a wonderful chance to buy
lots of useful things and presents much cheaper. You just have to know what you
want to buy and where you have to go. There are special services delivering
Christmas trees in special pots. These firms take care of the environment and
prevent wild trees from being cut down.
Small children believe that on Christmas
night Santa Claus travels from chimney to chimney on his deer and brings
presents to everyone. That is why to get a present you have to put up a sock
next to the fireplace. Of course, in modern houses most flats are equipped with
central heating and have no fireplace, which is why children usually put their
gift socks next to their beds. This is quite comfortable because you can see
what Santa has brought to you as soon as you wake up.

Thanksgiving
day
Thanksgiving day is a legal
holiday in the United States. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in
November. This is a family holiday when all the members get together to have a
meal. Most people go to church in the morning, and then comes the Thanksgiving
dinner at which roasted turkey is usually served.
This holiday is a harvest festival
which is thought to be one of the oldest and most popular ones in the world.
The first celebration in the United States was held in 1621 when the settlers
gathered their first harvest. First people came to New England in Deсember
1620 on a ship called “The Mayflower”. The winter was very cold so half of them
died during the first months of 1621 of hunger and decease. The settlers
weren’t good farmers, so they couldn’t grow anything by themselves. The Indians
whose land it was gave them some seeds of corn which they planted, and the
first harvest was very good.
Later Thanksgiving days were
celebrated all over the country among the settlers but the dates were
different. During the third year of the Civil war in October 1863 President
Lincoln proclaimed this holiday to be a national one. And even later, in 1951,
the United States Congress fixed this celebration on the fourth Thursday of
November.

NANNY
If both parents go to work it is wise to take on a
nanny. Some nannies live in the house where they work, some come in the morning
and leave when one of the parents come back home. Having a nanny is not a new idea,
most rich families have always had one, even if mothers don’t work. Nannies can
also work as cleaning ladies or housekeepers, for additional money, of course.
In most European countries there are agencies who send
nannies to families. These firms care about their reputation so you practically
don’t run any risk when you leave your child alone with a new person. Agencies
also require some qualifications from the nannies which can be obtained in
special colleges or evening classes.
Is it good to leave a child in the charge of a nanny?
Parents will say it’s wonderful as they can work or go out freely without
worrying about their child. Nannies must be content, too – they get reasonable
money for doing what they like. The only disadvantage of this is that children
spend less time with their parents and get less love and affection. But on the
other hand, when a qualified nanny brings your child up you can be sure he or
she will become more friendly and less spoilt.
