There are a lot of holidays and festivals around the world. As for British children their most favourite holidays are: New Year’s Eve, Easter, Guy Fawkes’ Night. New Year’s Eve is on the 31^st of December. In Britain people often go to parties. At midnight, they hold hands and sing the Scottish song called “Auld Lang Syne” . Then they usually go into the street and wish their family, friends and neighbours a “Happy New Year”. Some people let off Fireworks to celebrate.

Another holiday that the British love a lot is Easter. It is always in spring, usually in April. There are three important days at Easter. The name of the first day is Good Friday. On this day, many people don’t eat meat, only fish. The second important day is Easter Sunday. Some people go to church and children get chocolate Easter eggs. Usually families get together and have a big meal of roast meat on this day. The third important day – Easter Monday, is a public holiday when schools and companies do not work. Some people send Easter cards. The shops are full of chocolate eggs. Many Easter decorations are yellow and we can see pictures of baby rabbits, lambs, chicks and daffodils.

Another holiday the British love a lot is Guy Fawkes’ Night, or Bonfire Night which is always on the 5^th of November. The traditional celebration was the following. Children made a large figure of a man with old clothes and then put newspapers inside. This was a guy. They sat outside shops with the guy and collected money to buy fireworks. They said ‘Penny for the guy’. Then they went to a field or park and made a big fire called a bonfire. They put the guy on the fire. In the evening families often ate baked potatoes or sausages and had a party.

At night they went to watch the fireworks display. Many people didn’t like Bonfire Night because they thought it was not safe. Sometimes children burnt themselves on the fireworks.
