UNIT 4. HOLIDAYS
Text 1. Christmas Eve
On ˈChristmas ˏEve ˈeverything is ˈrush and ˎbustle. ˈOffices and ˈpublic ˈbuildings ˈclose at ˈone oˎ'clock, but the ˈshops ˈstay ˈopen ˎlate. ˈMost ˈbig ˏcities, esˈpecially ˏLondon, are ˈdecorated with ˈcoloured ˈlights aˈcross the ˈstreets and eˈnormous ˈChristmas ˎtrees. The ˈmain ˈline ˏstations, ˈtrains and ˏbuses are ˈcrowded with ˏ people ˈtravelling from ↑all ˈparts of the ˏcountry to be at ˈhome for ˎChristmas.
In the ˎhomes there is a ˈgreat ˈair of ˈexpecˎtation. The ˈchildren are ˈdecorating the ˈtree with ˈtinsel and ˈcoloured →lights. The ˈhouse is ˈdecorated with ˈholly and a ˈbunch of ˎmistletoe under ˈwhich the ˈboys and the ˈgirls ˎkiss. ˈChristmas ˎcards - with the ˎwords: A ˈMerry ˏChristmas to You; ˈWishing You a ˈMerry ˏChristmas and a ˈProsperous ˈNew ˏYear; With the ˎCompliments of the ˎSeason - are aˈrranged on ˏmantelpieces, ˏshelves, ˏtables, and ˈsometimes aˈttached to ˎribbon and ˈhung ˈround the ˎwalls.

ˈMeanwhile the ˈhousewife is ˈbusy in the ˈkitchen, ˈgetting ˈthings ˈready for the ˈnext ˈday's ˎdinner. The ˈChristmas ˎbird, ˈnowadays ˈusually a ˏturkey, is ˈbeing preˈpared and →stuffed, the ˈpudding is inˎspected and the ˈcake is ˈgot ˈout of its ˈtin and ˎiced.
In ˈsmall ˈtowns and ˏvillages ˈone may ˈstill ˈsee ˈcarol-ˏsingers who ˈcome and ˈstand in ˈfront of the ˏhouse and ˈsing or ˏplay ˈChristmas ˎcarols. They exˈpect a ˎChristmas box from a ˈfew ˈpennies or ˈcoppers ˏupwards in reˈturn for their ˈmusical ˎefforts. The ˈmoney coˏllected is ˈthen doˈnated to some deˈserving ˇcause, for eˈxample to ˈhelp ˈdestitute ˈold ˎpeople.
Text 2. Christmas
Christmas Day, 25 December, is celebrated by Christians as the day on which Jesus Christ was born. In Britain carol services take place in churches throughout December and children perform nativity plays, acting out the stories of Christ’s birth. In the United States some families have a model nativity scene in their house or garden. Many people go to midnight mass in church on Christmas Eve.
Before Christmas, people send Christmas cards to their friends. These often show Santa Claus, angels, holly or snowmen, all traditional symbols of Christmas. People buy Christmas presents for their family and friends. Shopping malls are decorated for Christmas from September, though most people don’t do their Christmas shopping until December. Most towns put up a Christmas tree, a fir tree decorated with coloured lights, baubles, tinsel and bows, and put strings of lights across the streets. For children the highlight of this period is a visit to Santa Claus, to tell him what presents they would like.

A few days before Christmas families decorate a Christmas tree in their home. Some hang a holly wreath on their front door. Americans, especially, put lights and figures of Santa Claus and snowmen in their gardens.
Presents are wrapped in coloured paper and put under the Christmas tree. Small presents are put into a stocking, a long sock that each person hangs near the chimney or at the end of their bed. On Christmas morning many families open their presents together round the Christmas tree.
Families try to get together at Christmas and in preparation most people buy a lot of food and prepare special dishes. In Britain they make or buy mince pies and a Christmas cake; in the US they make Christmas cookies. In Britain Christmas dinner usually consists of turkey with many accompanying dishes, followed by Christmas pudding and brandy butter. Everyone pulls paper crackers, which make a loud bang and contain paper hats, jokes and small toys.
Christmas decorations are taken down on New Year’s Day or, in Britain any time between New Year and 6 of January, the festival of Epiphany.
Text 3. England. New Year
In ˏEngland the ˈNew ˎYear is ˈnot as ˈwidely obˈserved as ˎChristmas. ˈSome ˈpeople igˈnore it comˏpletely and ˈgo to ˈbed at the ˈsame ˈtime as ˏusual on ˈNew ˈYear's ˎEve. ˈMany ˈothers ˎdo cele.brate it in ˈone way or aˎnother. The ˈmost ˈcommon ˈtype of celeˏbration is a ˈNew ˈYear ˎparty, ˈeither a ˏfamily party or ˈone aˈrranged by a ˈgroup of ˈyoung ˎpeople. ˈThis ˈusually beˈgins at aˈbout ˈ8 o'ˏclock and ˈgoes ˈon unˈtil the ˈearly ˈhours of theˎmorning.

ˈSometimes the ˈhosts ˈmake a ˈbig ˈbowl of ˏpunch ˈwhich conˈsists of ˏwine, ˏspirits, ˏfruit juice and ˎwater in ˈvarying proˎportions. At ˎmidnight the ˈwireless is ˈturned ˏon, so that ˈeveryone can ˈhear the ˈchimes of ˈBig ˎBen. ˈThen the ˈparty ˈgoes ˎon.
Aˈnother ˈpopular ˈway of ˈcelebrating the ˈNew ˏYear is to ˈgo to a ˈNew ˈYear's ˎdance. ˈMost hoˈtels and →dance halls ˈhold a ˎspecial dance on ˈNew Year's ˎEve.
The ˈmost ˈfamous celeˏbration is in ˏLondon ˈround the ˈstatue of ˎEros in ˈPiccadilly ˏCircus where ˈcrowds ˈgather and ˏsing and ˈwelcome ˈin the ˈNew ˎYear. In ˈTrafalgar ˇSquare there is ˈalso a ˈbig ˏcrowd and ˈsomeone ˈusually ˈfalls into the ˎfountain.
ˈJanuary the ˎfirst, the ˈNew ˈYear's ˎDay, is ˈnot a ˈpublic ˎholiday. ˈSome ˈpeople ˈsend ˈNew ˈYear ˏcards and ˈgive ˎpresents but ˈthis is ˈnot a ˈwidespread ˎcustom. ˈThis is a traˈditional ˈtime for ˈmaking "ˈNew ˈYear’s resoˎlutions", for eˎxample, to ˈgive up ˏsmoking, or to ˈget up ˎearly. Howˎever, ˈthese are ˈgenerally ˈmore ˎtalked about than ˈput into ˎpractice.
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For old lang syne!
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne!
We two have run about the hills
And pulled the daisy fine;
We’ve wandered many a weary bit
Since auld lang syne.
We two have wandered in the brook
From morning sun till dine
But seas between us broad have roared
Since auld lang syne.
And here’s a hand, my trusty friend,
And give us a hand of thine,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For old lang syne!
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne!
