  ''Thousand of years ago, people celebrated special times. New plants animals in the spring, the longest day of summer, good food from the trees and fields in the  autumn, these were all time to celebrate. Later Christianity came, and old new festivals came together as Easter, Christimas, and other celebrations.

   Each season brings it´s own celabrations. Spring has eggs at Easter; in summer there are outside festivals at the summer solstice, and barbecues for the Fourth of july; autumn has fires and fireworks ; and winter has the wonderfull traditions of Christmas food and presents. But there are new celebration too, Mother´s Day, Remembrance Day, the special days of new countries, and festivals that people bring with than they move  to different countries.

   Here is a year of celebrations old and new, inside and outside and Britain, the USA, and other English-speaking countries. Learn about the traditions, read the stories you can even cook the pancakes if you want! "
