This will be very short because I’m tired and got a lot of things to do tomorrow, sorry about that!
Anyway I have to say I did read this wrong and for a split second ha! I wondered why they were asking, how I’d celebrate me going abroad, or going on vacation, vacation mean’s holiday to us. I’m a brit and we never use the word holiday to describe Christmas or Halloween or anything like that as far as I’m aware.
We don’t really celebrate Halloween that much, I have to say. I think it is slowly becoming more popular but it’s not huge celebration, I think it’s largly seen as something you celebrate if you have children and you go out trick or treating with your children and it’s seen as more of a children’s activity. If you live on a busy street, you will make sure you have loads of sweets before the evening for the children you expect to knock at your door, all dressed up in “scary” costumes.
Everyone’s Christmas is different but it’s usually celebrated with your family, some go to friends or families, some stay at home. I and my sister still get presents from Father Christmas because “someone” wanted to keep the tradition going and pretend I didn’t see them at eleven years old, sneaking the presents in. So we have fun and pretend we get presents from Father Christmas, even though we’re adults now.
We also celebrate a day called Fire Works Day or Guy Fawkes day, basically celebrating the fact our goverment didn’t get blown up in the 1600s but I’m too tired to get into it. Here is a video about it, on youtube if you want to check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWZIbnkkI9U or this fun children’s documentary I remember watching as a child, to learn about it in my history class, I’m excited I found it on youtube! Though it is very fussy since it’s pretty old https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMLHau_rBJ8
Anyway, this was a lot longer than I orginilly planned, hope you enjoyed it!
