В Англии есть свои традиции, а некоторые из них стали популярны во всем мире. Англичане празднуют Рождество 25 декабря. Но за месяц до него, жители готовят специальный венок с 4 свечками и каждую неделю зажигают по одной свече.
Ещё одна популярная традиция пришла из Англии и стала любима во всем мире. Англичане придумали рождественский календарь, а внутри шоколад и конфеты. Дети открывают по одной части каждый день, достают конфеты и считают, сколько дней осталось до Рождества.
Также Англия отличается и украшениями домов и дворов. Для англичан очень важно украсить своё жильё ярко. Это значит, что они готовы встретить Бога в следующем году.
Улицы и центры также красиво украшены. Правительство тратит огромные деньги каждый год, чтобы установить ёлку, повесить гирлянды и игрушки. Если вы в Англии в канун Рождества , вы увидите насколько это волшебное время.
Это семейный праздник, поэтому, жители предпочитают отмечать его в кругу семьи. Утром они идут в церковь и молятся, благодарят Бога за уходящий год. Затем семья собирается вместе, взрывают рождественскую хлопушку с шуточным пожеланием и ужинают. На ужин англичане готовят особое меню без мяса. А также важно, чтобы каждый член семьи съел кусочек хлеба, а остальное они отдают птицам и нищим.
Christmas Day is a family holiday in Great Britain. Traditionally, everyone gives each other presents; the British decorate their houses, put up Christmas Trees, and children write letters to Santa Claus.
Рождество в Великобритании – семейный праздник. Традиционно все дарят друг другу подарки; британцы украшают дома, ставят елки, а дети пишут письма Санта Клаусу.
Christmas is celebrated on December 25, but everyone gets ready for it long before that. The pre-Christmas period is called Advent, which starts four weeks before the holiday.
Рождество отмечается 25 декабря, но подготовка к нему начинается задолго до этого. Такой предрождественский период называется Адвент, который начинается за четыре недели до праздника.
The symbol of Advent is a wreath with 4 candles, each of which is lit one at a time every Sunday. They are kept alight until Christmas Eve.
Символ Адвента – венок с 4 свечами, каждая из которых зажигается по одной в каждое воскресенье. Так они остаются зажженными до рождественского вечера.
The holiday is impossible without gifts. For that reason, there are sales on Christmas Eve in all cities in England. Shop windows are decorated with figures of angels, Santa Claus, snowmen.
Этот праздник не возможен без подарков. Поэтому в Рождество во всех городах Англии начинаются распродажи. Витрины магазинов украшаются фигурками ангелов, Санта Клауса, снеговиками.
Streets are overcrowded; there are fairs and feasts for children on the squares. On Trafalgar Square, in the center of London, a huge Christmas tree is put up every year, which is a gift from the Government of Norway.
Улицы переполнены; на площадях устраивают ярмарки и праздники для детей. На Трафальгарской площади в центре Лондона ежегодно ставят огромную елку, которая является подарком от Норвежского правительства.
As previously mentioned, Christmas is the family holiday and it is celebrated with loved ones.
Как уже упоминалось, Рождество - семейный праздник, и его принято отмечать в кругу близких людей.
There's a popular belief amongst the English: a good year beginning makes the whole year good. That’s why Christmas dinner has a variety of dishes, amongst them is plum pudding. Traditionally it was composed of thirteen ingredients, symbolizing Jesus and the Twelve Apostles in Catholic teaching.
Среди Англичан есть поверье: если начало года будет хорошим, то так пройдет и весь год. Поэтому Рождественский ужин – огромное разнообразие блюд, среди которых обязательно есть рождественский пудинг. Традиционно в его состав входят тринадцать ингредиентов, тем самым символизируя в Католической вере Иисуса и двенадцать Апостолов.
The second Christmas day is called “Boxing day”. The reason is that Santa puts the presents under the Christmas tree during the night of the 25th to the 26th of December and the next day, all unpack their present boxes.
One more symbol of the holiday is stockings hanging up on the mantel. A legend is connected to this tradition. Once, Santa delivered gifts, and when getting through a fireplace, he accidentally dropped some gold coins into stockings that were drying there.
Еще один символ праздника – чулки, развешанные над камином. С этой традицией связана одна легенда. Однажды Санта разносил подарки, и, проходя через камин, он случайно уронил золотые монетки в чулки, которые там сушились.
On Christmas Eve, before going to bed, children, in the hopes of getting better presents, leave biscuits or pieces of pie and some milk near the mantel for Santa plus a carrot for his deer Rudolf.
В сочельник, перед тем, как пойти спать, дети оставляют для Санты печенье или пирог с молоком, а также морковку для его оленя Рудольфа, чтобы получить хорошие подарки.
Christmas Day is a time for miracles and realization of wishes. On this day everyone gives not only gifts but also postcards. To give cards is an English tradition that showed up in the 19th century when the first Christmas card was printed.
Рождество – время чудес и исполнения желаний. В этот день не только дарят друг другу подарками, но и обмениваются открытками. Дарить открытки – английская традиция, которая появилась еще в 19 веке, когда была напечатана первая рождественская открытка.
And of course, everyone wishes each other “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!”.
Christmas Day , December 25,is probably the most popular holiday in Great Britan. It is a family holiday. Traditionally all relatives and friends give each other presents. So before 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, that is the Christmas trees are set up in houses, in the streets and churches. The Christmas trees are always decorated with fairy lights, angels and small toys. In addition litlle 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 represent the star that appeared over the stable in which Christ was born.
In Great Britain the Christmas tree became popular when Queen Victoria used it.
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 the 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 Clause can put there a piece of coal as punishment.
Santa Claus got his name from a man known as St.Nickolas who lived in Asia 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 Kluas 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 by known composers they can express different feelings. Carols appeared in Christmas history about the fifteenth century.
Usually children come around in the evening to the front doors and start singing carols and the people living 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.

So Christmas is a merry family holiday for all the people of Great Britain.
