В March - April — Easter Sunday
C March (4th Sunday in Lent) — Mother’s Day
D May Day
E October 31 — Halloween

1 People visit their mothers, bring them flowers and small presents or send them special cards.
2 People send special cards with hearts, flowers and loving words to those they love. Sometimes they do not sign these cards. Guessing who has sent a card is not always easy!
3 People celebrate the idea of new life by giving each other chocolate eggs. The ancient custom of coloured eggs is also very popular.
4 If you happen to be in London on New Year’s Eve go to Trafalgar Square and see people take a shower in the fountains there! The Christmas tree is a traditional present from Norway.
In Scotland Hogmanay (the Scottish name for New Year’s Eve) is the biggest festival of the year. The dancing goes on all night!
5 On Christmas Eve children hang stockings beside their beds so that Father Christmas can leave sweets and toys inside. On Christmas Day-all the family — grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins — meet for the traditional Christmas dinner.
6 People celebrate the end of winter and the coming of spring. Children with brightly coloured scarves dance round the Maypole on village greens.
7 This festival is loss important in Britain than in the USA, but still many people enjoy dressing up in strange costumes and pretending they are witches or ghosts. There is also a tradition to cut out a pumpkin to look like a frightening face and put a candle inside.
8 This is the time to visit friends and relatives and give them presents — if you haven’t already put yours under the Christmas tree.
