Every country and every nation has its own holidays. There are two types of holidays in the UK – bank holidays and official holidays.

• Bank holidays are days when everyone in the UK has a day off, and everyone celebrates the holiday.

These days include New Year's Eve, Good Friday, Bright Monday, May Day, Spring Bank Holiday, Summer Bank Holiday, Christmas and Boxing Day .

• Public holidays are special occasions like «Guy Fawkes Night», «Mother’s Day», «Remembrance Day», «Valentine’s Day» and so on.

People usually celebrate them but do not have a day off on these events, unless they fall on weekends.

New Year’s Day is a bank holiday.

British people celebrate it by hosting parties with their friends and families. In many cities there are free celebrations that anyone can join.

Halloween (October 31) also known as All Hallow’s Eve, or All Saint’s Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31

On this day children will dress up in costumes and go ‘trick or treating’ around the neighborhood.

“ Trick or Treating” involves knocking on someone’s door and saying ‘Trick or Treat’.

  That person gives them a treat (usually sweets).

• There are also several exclusively British holidays, such as Burns Day in Scotland, dedicated to the poet Robert Burns, or the Queen's Birthday.
