In England New Year’s Day is not a big holiday, it is not so popular. A lot of people go to bed before twelve o’clock on New Year’s Eve. But some families celebrate this evening at home. At midnight they also go out into the streets and squares.
In London people go to the Trafalgar Square. In this square they see a great tree decorated with little lamps. When the largest clock of London — Big Ben — begins to strike twelve, people in the square join their hands and sing. They also wish a Happy New Year to each other. New Year is one of the favourite holidays for many people in Great Britain.
