Хэллоуин традиционно отмечается в США,
Канаде, Великобритании, Ирландии, а также
в Испании и Латинской Америке, хотя
официальным
выходным
или
государственным праздником не является.
Считается, что прототипом Хэллоуина
является кельтский праздник. Празднование
"Соуина"\Samhain,
символизировавшего
окончание лета, сельскохозяйственных работ
и начало холодной зимы, ассоциировавшейся
со смертью, проходило в канун кельтского
нового года, который начинался 1 ноября. По
поверью, в это время мертвые возвращались
на землю, чтобы оценить дела своих
потомков. Кельтские жрецы - друиды - в этот
день предсказывали будущее. Кельты
одевались в маскарадные костюмы, чтобы
обмануть злых духов, которые могли наслать
на них несчастье. Чтобы умилостивить
духов, на порогах домов выставляли еду.
Когда римские легионы завоевали Галлию,
на этой территории смешались традиции
Соуина\Samhain
и
двух
латинских
праздников Фералия\Feralia (приходился на
конец октября, в этот день римляне
поминали покойных) и дня Помоны\Pomona
(богиня
древесных
плодов,
супруга
Вертумна, изображается с плодами - обычно
с яблоками - и с садовым ножом). После
распространения христианства языческие
праздники попали под запрет. Папа
Бонифаций IV объявил 1 ноября Днем Всех
Святых - в этот день было положено
поминать всех святых и мучеников. Новый
праздник получил название Оллхоллуeс\Allhallowees (искаженная древнеанглийская
фраза - месса всех святых), а ночь 31 октября
(ночь Соуина) получила название "канун
Оллхоллуеса" - Хэллоуин. Считалось, что в
ночь Хэллоуина темные силы на время
получают власть над землей и их надо
отпугивать. Кроме того, бедным в этот день
было положено дарить еду.

Cool Christmas Facts
- An artificial spider and web are often
included in the decorations on Ukrainian
Christmas trees. A spider web found on
Christmas morning is believed to bring good
luck. - The tradition of gifts seems to have
started with the gifts that the wise men
brought to Jesus. The exchanging of gifts
between people started about the 1800’s. The popular Christmas song «Jingle Bells» was
composed in 1857 by James Pierpont, and was
originally called «One-Horse Open Sleigh». It
was actually written for Thanksgiving, not
Xmas. - The biggest selling Christmas single of
all time is Bing Crosby’s White Christmas. - An
old wives’ tale says that bread baked on
Christmas. Eve will never go mouldy. If this
was true, then bakeries would just have to
make all their bread on Christmas Eve and they
will never have to put best before dates ever
again!
- Christmas pudding was first
made as a kind of soup with
raisins and wine in it. Christmas
Pudding originates from an old,
Celtic dish known as ‘frumenty’. Each year between 34-36 million
Christmas trees are produced to
cope with the holiday demand.
- Early Christmas trees were
decorated with fruits, flowers
and candles, which were heavy on
the tree branches. In the glass
balls to replace the 1800’s
German glass blowers began
producing heavy decorations and
called them bulbs.

Christmas in literature
Charles Dickens has probably had more influence on the way
that the British celebrate Christmas today than any single
individual in human history except one.
At the beginning of the Victorian period the
celebration of Christmas was decline. The
industrial Revolution, in full swing in Dickens`
time, allowed workers little time for the
celebration of Christmas. The romantic
revival of Christmas traditions that occurred
in Victorian times had other contributors:
Prince Albert brought the German custom of
decorating the Christmas tree of England.
The singing of Christmas carols began to
thrive again, and the first Christmas card
appeared in the 1840s, but it was the
Christmas stories of Dickens, particularly his
1843 masterpiece A Christmas Carol, that
rekindled the joy of Christmas in Britain and
America. Today, after 169 years, A
Christmas Carol gets to the heart and soul of
the holidays. Dickens describes the holidays
as «a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable,
pleasant time: the only time I know of in the
long calendar of the year, when men and
women seem by one consent to open their
shut-up hearts freely, and to think of other
people below them as if they really were
fellow passengers to the grave, and not
another race of creatures bound on their
journeys.» This is what Dickens described
for the rest of his life as the «Carol
Philosophy». Dickens` name had become so
synonymous with Christmas that on hearing
of his death in 1870 a little *costermonger’s
girl in London asked, «Mr Dickens dead?
Then will Father Christmas die too?»
*costermonger – a person who sells fruit and
vegetables from a cart in the street,
especially in London.
Why do people love
Christmas?
Is it the sparkle on the tree, The green
wreath on the door, The present tied
with ribbon red, Or is it something
more? The cheery greeting when we
meet A friend along our way, The crunch
of snow beneath our feet, The children
in their play? We ask ourselves, What is
it? But in the end we know It’s our love
for one another That makes Christmas
spirit glow.

English Christmas and New Year
Songs for Children
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Christmas Secrets
I know so many secrets
Such secrets full of fun;
But if you hear my secrets,
Please don’t tell anyone.
Here are some lights that twinkle,
Here is an ornament.
Here is a great big present
From Grandpa it was sent.
And on the very tip-tip top,
A bright star you can see,
What is the secret? Can’t you tell?
Why, it’s a Christmas tree
