Рабочие листы
Christmas Day, December 25, is probably the most popular holiday in Great Britain. It
is a family holiday. Traditionally all relatives and friends give each other presents. So, be-
fore Christmas all the department stores and shops are crowded, everybody is choosing a
present. In general, people get prepared for this holiday very carefully. They decorate their
houses in the traditional way, Christmas trees are set up in houses, in the streets and
churches. They are always decorated with fairy lights, angels and small toys. In addition,
little packets with nuts, candies and special biscuits are hung on the tree. Presents are put
around the tree and artificial «frost» is scattered over the branches. The Germans are
believed to be the first to use the Christmas tree in their celebrations and Martin Luther
was the first to place a star on the top of the tree. This star represents the star appeared
over the stable in which Christ was born.
In Great Britain, the Christmas tree became popular while Queen Victoria ruled the
country.
Besides the Christmas tree, holly and mistletoe are used to decorate the house.
Branches of holly are put up behind pictures and mistletoe is hung over doors, so the young
people have a chance to kiss the girls under it, plucking each time a red berry from the
mistletoe. It is said that the girl who was not kissed under it at Christmas would not get
married that year.
On the eve of Christmas children hang their stockings, so that Santa Claus could put
presents into them: oranges, sweets, nuts and if the child didn’t behave properly Santa
Claus can put there a piece of coal as punishment.
Santa Claus got his name from a man known as St. Nicolas, who lived in the fourth
century. He gave his wealth to the poor and often to children. After he died, the Dutch
brought this legend to colonial America. Soon the Dutch name Sinter Klaus became Santa
Claus.
Carol singing is an essential part of Christmas. No church or school is without its carol
service. Carols may be traditional or with some variations that express different feelings.
Carols were used for the first time during Christmas in the fifteenth century.
Usually children come around in the evening to the front doors and start singing carols
and people who live in these houses give children candies, nuts, pies and so on, to thank
them for carol singing.
A typical Christmas lunch includes turkey with cranberry sauce and pudding. Every
young woman in each household helps to stir the Christmas pudding, if she wishes to be
married that year.
Usually a coin or two are hidden inside the pudding and part of the fun is to see who
finds it.
After the lunch they go to the sitting room to listen to the Christmas speech of the
Queen, shown on TV.
So, Christmas is a merry family holiday for all the people of Great Britain. Christmas
comes but once a year.
