The 25th of December is Christmas Day. It is one of the people's favorite holidays. People put Christmas trees in their houses and decorate them. On Christmas Eve everybody puts the presents under the Christmas tree. People say that at night Santa Clouse puts presents into the stockings which children usually hang on their beds or above the fire place. The traditional Christmas meal is roast turkey and Christmas pudding.

          

New Year's Day on the first of January. It is not so popular in England as in our country, but it is rather popular in Scotland. On that day people usually visit their friends and there is a lot of dancing and eating. In Scotland people bring a piece of coal for good luck in the New Year.

       

The next holiday of the year is St.Valentine's Day. It is on the 14th of February. People buy or make Valentine cards and send them to the people they love. St. Valentine's Day is now a day for sweethearts. You can send candy, roses or other flowers. Most people send «valentines», a greeting card. Americans of all ages love to send and receive valentines.

       

 In March there is Mother's Day. All the children, little or adult ones, come to their mothers on that day to give cards, flowers and presents.

            

In April there is Easter (Пасха). At Easter children eat chocolate Easter eggs. Sometimes parents hide them in the house or in the garden and children have to look for them. The symbol of Easter is the Easter Bunny (кролик).

        

In June there is Father's Day. On Father's Day children give or send their fathers and grandfathers cards and presents. Very often in this day give a tie.

        

On the 31st of October there is a Halloween. They say ghosts and witches come out on Halloween. People make lanterns out of pumpkins (jack-o-lantern). Some people have Halloween parties and dress as witches (ведьмы) and ghosts (привидения). The main Halloween activity for children is trick-or-treating. Children dress in costumes and masks and go from door to door saying "trick or treat"(угощай, либо подшутим). The neighbors give children such treats as candy, fruit and pennies so that children do not play tricks on them.
