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
31st 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 5th 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 Bontire Night because they thought it was
not safe. Sometimes children burnt themselves on the fireworks.
