Many people in my region celebrate something called carnival. The name comes from two Latin words
meaning ‘say goodbye to meat’. The festival happens just before a month where we try not to eat so much.
A lot of people enjoy the festival, but then they don’t follow the rule about eating! People wear amazing
clothes in bright colors, and there is a big parade in most cities.

At Christmas in my country, people give each other gifts on the actual day, 25th December. Many children
get lots of gifts, so it was my favorite time of year when I was younger. I also loved the special things
made of paper, called crackers. I take one end and you take the other and pull. The cracker breaks with a
bang, and one person gets a paper hat and a little present from the cracker.
Ali
In my culture, we have a holiday every year after the month which is called Ramadhan. During that month,

lasts about 12 hours, even in summer, but now I live in Britain, and summer days are more than 16 hours
long.
