Teacher: Our dear friends, we are glad to see you here! Today we are going to tell you about one of the charming holidays and traditions connected with it.

 Host 1: Traditions... They make a nation special. Some of them are old-fashioned, others are part of people's life.

Host 2: But Christmas is a holiday full of every kind of tradition.

 A Christian holy day held on December the 25th in honour of the birth of Christ.

 It's a happy holiday for many people in different countries.

Host 3: Jesus Christ was born by Mary the Virgin. Christ the Saviour was born 1998 years ago. His story comes from the Bible. Shepherds were watching their sheep when they saw a new bright blue shining star in the sky. An Angel appeared to them and told that the Saviour had been born in Bethlehem. "Glory streams from the Heaven afar. Holy infant sleeps in heavenly peace. Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah."

Host 4: Christmas is a religious holiday when people have parties, light candles and give each other gifts.

(звучит песня "Mary's Boy Child Jesus Christ", ребята подпевают, покачивая веточками хвои)

Host 5: And do you know what do people usually do before Christmas?

Pupils:  – People decorate fir-tree with tinsels, baubles and fairy-lights and prepare presents for their nearest and dearest.

• People write and send beautiful postcards.
• People go to church and attend the service.
• People cook dinner for the whole family.
• When children go to bed they put their stockings near their beds.
• People sing carols.

(Звучит гимн "Silent Night" в исполнении хора учеников)

Silent night, Holy night, all is calm,

All is bright.

Round von Virgin, Mother and Child,

Holy Infant, so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, Holy night, Shepherds quake

at the sight.

Glory streams from Heaven afar.

Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah

Christ the Savior is born,

Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, Holy night, Son of God,

Love's pure light.

Radiant beams from Thy holy Face.

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

Host 2: Oh, that's right! But when Big Ben strikes the last the holiday starts! And people say:

        "Merry Christmas!"

"Happy Christmas!"

Pupil: Читает стихотворение " Christmas Message" by H.W. Longfellow.

I heard the bells on Christmas Day

Their old familiar carols play,

And wild and sweet

The words repeat

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Host 3: The Queen's Christmas speech is a modern custom. ( на экране слайд)

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,

O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way.

Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright,

What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!

Chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh! What fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Host 3: Wow! It was great! But there is another holiday, on the 1st of January. What is it?

Pupils: The New Year!

Host 3: That's right, but in Britain the New Year is not as widely celebrated as Christmas.

             Some people ignore it completely and go to bed at usual time. The most common

             type of celebration is a New Year party.

Host 2: Making new Year's resolutions is a tradition connected with the New Year. At the New Year people often decide what they are going to do, promise to improve their behaviour and give up bad habits.

Scene: (Мальчик сидит за столом и раздумывает над листком бумаги).

Mother: Mike, I have a suggestion for your New Year Resolutions.

Michael: I hope it is not that hard.

Mother: I’m afraid it is (рассматривает его грязные ботинки). But a New Year is a good reason to start a good habit.

Michael: What habit?

Mother: To clean your shoes daily.

Michael: You always make me think of my worst faults. But you are late. It is already in the list.

Mother: What else?

Michael: Walking a dog and some other things.

Host 2: Oh, thank you for your dramatizing! And what are your New Year's Resolutions?

    (ученики зачитывают свои обещания)

Will you keep them? And what other traditions do you know?

Pupil: There is a funny tradition connected with the New Year: the First Food. This is first visitor to enter a house on New Year's morning in Scotland. He is a person of great importance, because he lets the New Year into the house and brings good luck to the family. (Появляется ученик с дарами). Traditionally, the first visitor must carry food, drink and coal into the house.

Host 2: But do you know what for?

Pupils: - Coal helps to make fire in midwinter.
