Long ago, each child hung a stocking, or sock, over the fireplace. Santa entered down the chimney and left presents inside the socks for the children. Today the tradition is carried on. Each child can’t wait to open his or her eyes to see what Santa has left in the stocking.

Mother’s Day comes on the second Sunday in May. It is the one day out of the year when children, young and old, try to show how much they appreciate their mothers. This holiday, suggested by Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, was established in 1914. On this day American children give their mothers gifts and red carnations, the official Mother’s Day flower. This is the busiest day of the year for American restaurants. On her special day, family members do not want Mom to cook dinner!

He cured the jailer’s daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote a letter to the girl, signing it “From Your Valentine”.

Beggar’s Night On Halloween night American children dress up in Halloween costumes and go out on the streets to beg. They carry boxes and bags. They go from house to house and knock on the door. When the people come to the door, the children say, “Trick or treat! Trick or treat!” Almost all the people treat the children. They gave them candy or money.

Jack-O’-Lantern A favourite Halloween custom is to make jack-o’-lanterns. The children scrape out a pumpkin and cut the outlines of eyes, nose and mouth in the side. They light a candle inside the pumpkin to scare their friends. This custom refers to a man named Jack whose spirit was doomed to wander around the earth lighting his way with a pumpkin lantern.

Scary Story No Halloween party is complete without at least one scary story. Usually one person talks in a low voice while everyone else crowds together on the floor or around a fire. “ What Do You Come For?” There was an old woman who lived all by herself, and she was very lonely. Sitting in the kitchen one night, she said, ”Oh, I wish I had some company.” No sooner had she spoken that down the chimney tumbled two feet from which the flesh had rotted. The old woman’s eyes bugled with terror. Then two legs dropped to the hearth and attached themselves to the feet. Then a body tumbled down, the two arms, and a man’s head. As the old woman watched, the parts came together onto a great, tall man. The man danced around and around the room. Faster and faster he went. Then he stopped, and he looked in her eyes. “ What do you come for?” she asked in a small voice that shivered and shook. “ What do I come for?” he said. “I come – for YOU!” The narrator shouts and jumps at the person near him!
