"First published in Oxford Bookworms, 2000"--T.p. verso.
Festivals old and new -- The year begins -- National days -- Lent and Easter -- Families and fools -- Summer celebrations -- Fires and fireworks -- Remembering -- Thanksgiving -- In a new country -- Christmas.
In English-speaking countries around the world people celebrate Easter, Valentine's Day, Christmas, and other special days. Some celebrations are new, like Remembrance Day and Mother's Day; others, like the summer solstice, go back thousands of years. What happens on these special days? What do people eat, where do they go, what do they do? Why is there a special day for eating pancakes? Who is the 'guy' that children take onto the streets in November? And where do many people like to spend the shortest night of the year in England? Come on a journey through a year of celebrations, from New Year's Eve to Christmas.
