Sometimes Britain is called a strange island because some customs and manners differ from those accepted in other countries. There are some tips to help you get on well with the English on your visit to their wonderful country. First of all don’t forget to repeat the phrase ”It’s a nice day today, isn’t it?” It helps you to break ice with strangers. When you are invited to someone’s house, you should either arrive on time or no later than fifteen minutes after the time arranged. In Britain they don’t take off their shoes entering home. Gifts are not supposed to be expensive. In Britain foreigners are usually expected to give typical objects from their country as gift. British people, as a rule, give chocolate or small presents to their relatives or friends, receiving gifts they usually open the box in your presence to express their admiration.
As for queue, wait patiently when a group of people have queues for service. Never jump queue waiting for a bus. Keep your distance talking to a person. Stay at least an arm’s length away. The British are well- mannered people. They like everything to be done properly. So don’t lift a soup bowl to your mouth and eat noisily. It is a joke, of course. Try to avoid saying ‘’ no’’ directly. You may sound rude.

Thousands of years ago the people of Britain were pagans. In their religions, the sun, the moon, the winds, rain, animals and trees were all important, and they had festivals for them.
When Christianity came to Britain, the people wanted to keep some of their old festivals. Halloween, Christmas, Saint Valentine’s Day and Easter are all examples of this.
Today many people celebrate these festivals. Food family and flowers are the important part of most celebrations. Most people have a big family dinner at Christmas. People today often live far away from their families, so they send greeting cards at special times like Christmas. The cards say things like: ’’Thinking of you across the miles’’. Other people try to get back home. Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year.
As Christmas comes nearer, everyone is buying Christmas presents for friends and relatives. At Christmas parents try to give their children everything they want. Children count the weeks, then the days, to Christmas.
On Christmas Eve families and friends gather for the festivities. Housewives are busy preparing food, and children are sent to bed. They are told that if they don’t go to sleep, Father Christmas will not bring them any presents. There is a tradition that children should put a long sock called a Christmas stocking at the end of their bed or by the chimney or hang it by the fireplace so that Santa Claus will fill it with presents. Santa Claus is supposed to visit each house on Christmas Eve by climbing down the chimney.
