Команда 1. Christmas in Great Britain
Christmas Day is the greatest holiday in England. All English people celebrate Christmas on the( twenty fifth)25th of December.
"Christmas" means the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. This holiday means the beginning of the new year and the new life. English people celebrate this holiday with the evergreens as symbols of eternal life. The evergreens are Christmas tree, mistletoe and holly. Mistletoe is a symbol of love and reconciliation. Holly has Christian associations.
A Christmas tree stands in everybody's living room at Christmas. It is decorated with a silver star, silver bells, tinsel and sparkling lights.
It is interesting to visit London during this holiday. There is a Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square in the centre of London. It is decorated with lights, toys and sweets.
Everywhere you can see slogans "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year".
It is interesting to visit the shops before this holiday. There are a lot of nice Christmas cards and presents there. English people like this holiday very much and prepare for it beforehand. They buy presents for each other and send Christmas cards for their relatives and friends.
William Egley, an English artist, was the first who designed the Christmas card and sent it to one hundred of his friends.
There are a lot of traditions connected with Christmas but the most important one is the giving of presents. Family members leave them under the Christmas tree.
The traditional Christmas dinner is turkey and pudding.
In the afternoon the British families watch the Queen on the television as she delivers her traditional Christmas message to the United Kingdom and Commonwealth. Then they enjoy a piece of Christmas cake or eat a hot mince pie.
Most Australians dream of a white Christmas but this holiday in Australia happens in summer. The children learn songs about Snowmen and Jingle Bells and paint white winter on the Christmas cards. It is a bit ridiculous in the country where 80 (eighty) per cent of the land has never seen snow.
Now Christmas has got Australian identity and you can see Christmas cards with native Australian animals and landscape scenes of the Australia.
On Christmas day there are a lot of people on the beach swimming in the ocean, surfing and building sandcastles. One of the most typical Australian Christmas presents is a beach towel.
Santa Claus is the symbol of Christmas. He is a plump man with the white beard, dressed in a red-white fur coat, a red cap. He is wearing boots, glasses and smokes a pipe. Santa Claus comes on the New year and on the night of the Catholic Christmas. In the house he comes through the chimney and leaves gifts in stockings which children hang by the fireplace. Santa Claus moves in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. The leader of the teams is famous reindeer named Rudolph the Red Nose.

Команда 2. Halloween
Halloween is one of the oldest festivals in the world. It`s history begins from the Celtic festival and Christian «Day of all sacred».
The ancient Druids believed that on that evening the lord of the dead called ghosts of evil spirits. The Druids usually lit great fires on Halloween to ward off all these spirits.
Christian church established a festival on the first of November and called it All Saints’ Day or All hallow mass. The day before All Saints’ Day was known as all hallows’ Eve or All Hallow e’en.
Across all Europe this night marked coming of winter. People believed that at this time souls of the dead visit the houses to warm at the fire. The souls could accept different appearances. Together with them all evil spirit went down on the earth. So people dressed up in scary costumes, hoping to scare away evil ghosts.
Now Halloween is celebrated on the thirty-first of October. Children wear costumes and masks and carve jack-o’-lantens out of pumpkins. They go from door to door saying «trick or treat». The neighbours treat children with fruit and money to avoid tricks on them.
Jack-o’-lanterns are hallowed-out pumpkins with carved face. Most jack-o’-lanterns contain a candle inside. An Irish legend says that jack-o’-lanterns are named after the man called Jack. He could not enter the heaven because he was a miser, and he could not enter the hell because once he played jokes on devil. As a result, Jack has to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgment Day.
Fortune telling is an important part of Halloween. For example, a coin, a ring, and a thimble were baked into a cake. It was believed that the person who found the coin would become wealthy. The one who found the ring would marry soon. And the person who found the thimble would never get married.
People once believed that there were many ghosts and witches on the Earth and that they met on the thirty-first of October to worship the devil. So Halloween is the holiday of vampires, witches, ghosts and other evil spirits. This holiday until recently was celebrated only in the United States and now it is very popular in Europe.
Today, people do not believe in ghosts and witches but they like to tell stories about them on Halloween.

Команда 3. Pancake Day
Pancake Day is a tasty holiday in England. This holiday has three names for the same day. It is called Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day or Pancake Tuesday.
It has been celebrated in Britain for centuries. It is usually in March or in the end of February depending on the date for Easter. It is the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent.
In Ireland and Great Britain people got rid of the milk and eggs in the form of pancakes because the ingredients of the pancakes were all forbidden by the Church during Lent, so they had to be used the day before.
Today, Pancake Races are a popular event throughout the UK. Women, men or children cook pancakes and run with them in the street. They wear aprons and put on hats on their heads. They must toss their pancakes three times and catch them back on the frying-pan. Pancake races are good fun to enjoy food before everyone stops eating in Lent.
The Shrove Tuesday pancake is very thin. After the cooking and tossing each pancake is rolled, laid side by side with its fellows on a plate. Some families traditionally fold the pancakes in quarters rather than rolling them. For pancakes toppings you can have butter, lemon juice, sugar, and syrup.
English children like to eat pancakes! On Pancake Day they go from house to house, sing songs, recite poetry and ask for a pancake or money.
‘Lent Crocking’ is a custom when children pass from house to house asking for pancakes. If they are not given any, broken crockery is thrown at the door!
There is a belief that the first three cooked pancakes are sacred. Each is marked with a cross, then sprinkled with salt to ward off evil spirits.
In Ireland unmarried girl tosses the first pancake to be married within the year.
In Scotland, special oatcakes are made of oatmeal, eggs and salt. A charm is added to the dough and if an unmarried person finds it, he or she will be married within the year. In Wales people go from door to door asking for flour, lard or butter for pancakes.

Команда 4. Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day is celebrated on the eleventh of November. Remembrance Day is also known as Poppy Day because it is traditional to wear artificial poppies. It is a special day to remember all those men and women who were killed during two World wars and other war conflicts.
Special services are held at the churches and War Memorials all over Britain.
A national ceremony takes place at the Cenotaph in Whitehall in London. The Queen lays the first wreath at the Cenotaph. Wreathes are laid beside all war memorials. People also leave small wooden crosses by the memorials in remembrance of family members, who died in wars.
The “Last post” is traditionally played to introduce the two minute silence in Remembrance Day ceremonies. It is usually played on a bugle and in military life it usually marks the end of the day or the last farewell. At 11o’clock a two minute silence is observed at war memorials and other public places across the UK. At this moment everything glides into silence. Trams, buses, cars stop working, people put off their caps. Everyone stands very still. The silence spreads over the country to commemorate people, fallen in the wars.
The two minute silence is followed by the recitation of the “Ode of Remembrance” in which you can hear the words “They shall not grow old. We will always remember them”.

Команда 5. Thanksgiving
Almost in every culture in the world there is a celebration of thanks for rich harvest.
The American Thanksgiving day was founded by the Pilgrims. They were a group of English settlers who came to Massachusetts in 1620 (sixteen-twenty). The Pilgrims came to America because they wanted religious freedom.
Their first winter was difficult, and many of the Pilgrims died because they arrived too late to grow a harvest. The next spring the Indians taught them to grow corn, to hunt and fish. The colonists learned from Indians to cook cranberries and dishes of corn and pumpkins.
In the autumn of 1621 (sixteen-twenty-one) they got a rich harvest of corn, barley, beans and pumpkins. The colonists were thankful and organized a feast. That was the first Thanksgiving. Local Indian chief and ninety Indians were present.
After the United States gained independence, Congress recommended the twenty-sixth of November as Thanksgiving Day for the whole country.
On Thanksgiving Day, family members gather at the house of their parents and give thanks for everything good they have.
The traditional thanksgiving meal consists of roast turkey, cranberry jelly, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and other dishes.
Every Thanksgiving in New York City there is a parade where you can see balloons of popular cartoon characters, famous television stars, and bands from all over the United States. More than fifty-five (55) million people watch this parade on television. Many other large American cities also have Thanksgiving Day parades.
Watching college football games on television is also a typical Thanksgiving Day activity.

Команда 6. Easter in England
Easter is one of the greatest festivals of the year in England. Long before the Christianity, Easter was celebrated in England in honor of the Anglo-Saxon goddess, Eostre. Now Easter is a day, which commemorates the rising of Jesus Christ.
On this day churches are beautifully decorated with flowers, especially with Madonna lilies or the Easter lilies. People attend the church services and after the service they intercept each other with pussy willow branches for good luck in the coming days.
Easter celebrations in England begin with Lent lasting for 40 days. The last day before the beginning of Lent is known as Shrove Tuesday. The day is also known as ‘Pancake Day’.
To commemorate the Easter Sunday, people in England eat special hams, pound cakes, Easter Eggs and Easter muffins. Children especially like chocolate bunnies.
In England, special springtime dancers give Morris dance performances to frighten away the evil spirits of winter. The dancers wear white shorts, red belts, black trousers and straw hats. Flowers, red and green ribbons are added to their costumes to make their look more colorful.
Special Easter parades are held all over Britain.
