Every country has customs and traditions.Traditions play a more important part in the life of the people. People are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up. There are holidays like St.Valentine’s Day, April Fools, Halloween and others. I want to tell you about some holidays and traditions. People really love holidays. We usually celebrate them with a lot of food, presents and in big companies of relatives and friends. They are family holidays, state holidays and religious holidays.Each family has its own traditions of celebrating this or that holiday. For example, my family celebrates my birthday for two days. On the first day I celebrate it with my parents, grandparents, my uncle and aunt. The second day of celebration is only for my close friends. They usually come in a big group with a lot of presents. I like my birthday very much. St. "Valentine's Day is mostly popular with young people. They usually buy presents for their girlfriends and boyfriends such as chocolate and sweets and make greeting cards in the shape of a heart.
