The most popular hobby of the British is gardening<span>. Most English people love gardens, their own above all, and this is probably one reason why so many people prefer to live in houses rather than flats. In the suburbs you can see row after row of ordinary small houses. And each house is surrounded by lots of flowers. Many people who have no gardens of their own have patches of land. They spend much leisure time working among their flowers, trees and vegetables. The British take part in numerous flower-shows and vegetable shows with very good prizes. Such shows are very popular in Britain. To many gardeners the process of growing the plants and taking care of them seems more important than the pleasure of looking at the flowers or the prospect of eating vegetables. In many places a competitive gardener’s desire is to grow the biggest cabbages or leeks or carrots. So this is the most favourite hobby of the British people.</span>
Taken when the clock begins to chime midnight, open the back door of the house and let the Old year, and the last stroke let the New year in at the front door.
If after the twelfth stroke of the house will go a young man with dark hair (the first guest), the coming year will be successful. The first guest must bring bread, coal and a pinch of salt. After he shall burn coal in the fireplace, all congratulate each other and the guest who brings good luck, be sure to feed them.[3]
Lovers in the battle of Big Ben kiss under the mistletoe - it is considered that this would provide them a strong relationship in the new year. Kiss to those who are under the mistletoe in the center of the room, in the belief that gives you good luck and happiness in the coming year.[3]
