GIFT-GIVING IN BRITAIN
Advertisements (Quảng cáo)
In Britain, there are two occasions each year when people usually receive presents: on Christmas Day and on their birthday. In the past, your 21 st birthday was the most important because it symbolized becoming an adult. Today, people in Britain legally become adults at the age of eighteen, so they often have the biggest celebration on that birthday. The custom of giving gifts on 25 th December only dates back to Victorian times. Before that it was more common in Britain to exchange presents on New Year’s Eve (31 st December) or Twelfth Night (5/6 January). These days, on Christmas Eve parents put their presents for young children in “stocking” and leave them in their bedroom while they are
asleep. When the children wake up in the morning, many of them believe that Santa Claus has visited them in the night and brought them their presents. Gifts for older children and grown-
ups are put around the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Then on Christmas morning, everyone sits around the tree and opens their presents.
Easter and Mother’s Day are also important days. Young children usually receive chocolate eggs at Easter, and people often give presents (usually chocolates or flowers) to their mother on Mother’s Day. People also receive gifts on important occasions in their lives. For example, all the guests at a wedding traditionally bring a gift for the bride and groom. And these days, students sometimes get presents from their parents if they do well in their
exams. (source: Solutions – Pre-Intermediate)
