(Teacher reads the texts and every team  writes on a piece of paper the answers,for each correct answer they get 1 point).

   1.  For more British families, this holiday is the most important festival of the year. It combines the celebration the birth of Christ and the traditional festivities of winter.   On the Sunday before churches hold carol services. Carol singers can be heard on the street as they collect money for charity. People decorate their houses with a holly wreath and put a fir tree.  Children find presents in their stockings.                                    

   2.This holiday means «holy evening». At parties people dress up in strange costumes and pretend they are witches. People make up lamps of pumpkins and other vegetables. Some children dress in white sheets, knock on doors and ask if you would like a «trick or treat». If you give them some money or some sweets, a «treat», they go away. If not, they play a «trick» on you, such as making a lot of noise or splashing water in your face!

3.People send cards to people they love. They should not write their names on the cards. Those who get them must guess who sent them.

   4. The name of this holiday comes from “Eostre”, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, many people celebrate the beginning of  spring. This holiday is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring. That’s why it’s on a different date each year.People dye eggs in various colours.      Bunnies, chicks, lambs and flowers are associated with it because they are born in the spring. Egg rolling game is very popular in Wales.
