CHRISTMAS
If you try to catch a train, a bus or an airplane on December

24th, you may have difficulty in finding a seat. This is the
day when many people are traveling home to be with their
families on Christmas Day, December 25th. For most
British families, this is the most important festival of the
year, it combines the Christian celebration of the birth of
Christ with the traditional festivities of winter.
On Sunday before Christmas many churches hold a carol
service where special hymns are sung. Sometimes carol-
singers can be heard on the streets as they collect money
for charity. Most families decorate their houses with
brightly-colored paper, and they usually have a Christmas tree in the corner of the front room, glittering with
colored lights and decorations.
There are a lot of traditions connected with Christmas, but perhaps the most important one is the
giving of presents. Family members wrap up their gifts and leave them at the bottom of the Christmas tree to be
found on Christmas morning. Small children believe that their gifts come from Santa Claus. Their parents tell
them that Santa Claus lives in the North Pole and, on the night before Christmas, he travels the world in a sled
pulled by reindeer. He goes down the chimneys of houses to leave gifts only for children who have been good. At
some time on Christmas Day, the family will sit down to a big turkey dinner followed by desserts specially
prepared for the occasion.
Later in the afternoon, they may watch the Queen on television as she delivers her traditional
Christmas message to the United Kingdom. If they have room for even more food, they may enjoy a piece of
Christmas cake. December 26th is also a public holiday, and this is the time to visit friends and relatives or be a
spectator at one of the many sporting events.

GHOSTS AND WITCHES

31st. Although it is a much more important festival in the United
States than Britain, it is celebrated by many people in the UK. It is
particularly connected with witches and ghosts.

are witches. They cut horrible faces in pumpkins and other
vegetables and put a candle inside, which shines through the
eyes. People may play difficult games such as trying to eat an
apple from a bucket of water without using their hands.

Halloween and ask if you would like a “trick” or “treat”. If you give them something nice, a “treat”, they go away.

THANKSGIVING
In 1620, one of the first British settlements in America was established
in Massachusetts. These settlers, known as Pilgrims, had come to
America to freely practise their religion. They arrived in November,
when it was too late to plant crops. Although many people died, the
Pilgrim settlement survived the winter because of help from Indians
who lived nearby. The Indians taught the Pilgrims about corn and
showed them where to fish. The next November, after the crops were
harvested, the Pilgrims gave thanks to God at a feast to which they
invited the Indians.
Every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. Families and friends
get together for a big feast. The meal usually includes roast turkey with
stuffing and gravy, a sweet sauce made from cranberries, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. What a meal! It’s not
surprising that a recent Thanksgiving tradition is to sit after dinner in front of the TV watching a professional
football game.
