Holidays and their symbols
People of each country have a lot of holidays. Some holidays are public, some are religious. All these holidays are part of our culture. Holidays are always fun. We usually prepare a lot of presents and write greeting cards to congratulate our friends and relatives. All the greeting cards have pictures — symbols of every holіday. You can often see a nice cake and flowers on the cards, congratulating with birthday, and pictures of hearts on St Valentine’s cards. New Year’s tree and candles are the symbols of New Year. Santa Claus and a red stocking are the symbols of Christmas. Children prepare stockings so that Santa could put presents in them. Beautifully coloured eggs are the symbol of Easter. Pumpkin with cut eyes and mouth is the symbol of Halloween, and a roast turkey is the symbol of Thanksgiving Day in America. Spring flowers are usually in the pictures which we prepare for Mother’s Day. Be careful when you choose the greeting card, don’t mix up.
