Advent
'Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat!'
Christmas is the biggest festival in Britain and is celebrated on 25th December. The four weeks before Christmas are called Advent, and are traditionally celebrated in churches by lighting a candle each Sunday during Advent. Nowadays, many people in Britain are not very religious, but they still celebrate Christmas. But watch out - the preparations begin long before Advent. In fact, as early as September or October, you start to see signs that Christmas is on the way.
Рождественский и новогодний праздники живота не за горами
The first places to tell us that we should be thinking about Christmas are the shops. People in Britain spend on average over 600 pounds (around $1000) per person on Christmas every year, and the shops encourage people to spend more and more.
Shops put up Christmas decorations and play cheesy Christmas songs or carols; and some shop workers wear Christmas hats. Some big shops on Regent Street and Oxford Street in London create wonderful displays in their windows with moving characters, falling snow, colourful lights and music.
