For most British families, this is the most important festival of the year; it combines the Christian celebration of Christ’s birth with traditional festivities of winter. Some weeks before Christmas people are very busy. They prepare presents or their friends and relatives. People also send greeting cards to all of them. People try to buy a Christmas tree which is decorated with toys, colored balls and lights . On the Sunday before Christmas many churches hold a service where carol hymns are sung. Sometimes carol singers can be heard on the street as they collect money charity . There are a lot of traditions connected with Christmas but perhaps the most important one is the giving of presents . Family members leave gifts under the Christmas tree to be found on Christmas morning. On Christmas Eve children put their stockings near their beds hoping that at night Father Christmas will come down the chimney and put the presents into the children's stockings . On Christmas day the family sit down to a traditional dinner followed by roast turkey and Christmas pudding.

That’s why it’s on a different date each year. The word “ Easter ” comes from “Eostre”, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday, many people celebrate the beginning of spring. So it is often full of fun and celebration. The Friday before Easter Sunday and the Monday after are a bank holiday in the UK. On the Friday before Easter people in England enjoy the traditional Good Friday breakfast of hot cross buns . One of the oldest spring symbols in the world is the egg . Eggs are a symbol of a new life. The eggs are hard-boiled and people dye hem in various colours. Nowadays people often give each other Easter eggs made of chocolate , usually hollow and filled with sweets. Bunnies, chicks , lambs and flowers (especially lilies and daffodils) are associated with Easter because they are born in the spring. The legend says an “ Easter ” hides eggs in the garden and children have to find them on Easter morning. Sometimes the eggs are put in a basket. Egg rolling game when children roll hard-boiled eggs down a hill is very popular in Wales. Put in the missing words .
