For most people Christmas is one of the most cherished holidays during the year. As we know, in England it is celebrated on the 25th of December. However, the Christmas season officially starts four weeks before the holiday. This period of the year is called Advent. During these weeks nearly every child creates a list of highly wanted presents, which is sent as a letter to Father Christmas.
There are many traditions and customs of celebrating Christmas in England. For example, in rural areas on the night before Christmas there are hundreds of lit candles in the windows. So, for the locals the Christmas Eve is “the night of candles”. This tradition originated from ancient ritual of burning the Christmas log, which symbolized the victory of light over darkness.
Для большинства людей Рождество является одним из самых долгожданных праздников в году. Как мы знаем, в Англии оно отмечается 25 декабря. Тем не менее, Рождество официально начинается за четыре недели до праздника. Этот период года называется Адвент (Предрождественский пост). Во время этих недель почти каждый ребенок пишет список самых желанных подарков и отправляет письмом к Деду Морозу.
В Англии есть множество традиций и обычаев празднования Рождества. Например, в сельских районах в ночь перед Рождеством в окнах зажигаются сотни свечей. Таким образом, для местных жителей Сочельник это еще и «ночь свечей». Эта традиция возникла из древнего ритуала сожжения Рождественского полена, что символизировало победу света над тьмой

Pride and Prejudice<span>"How so? How can it affect them?"
"My dear Mr. Bennet," replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them."
"Is that his design in settling here?"
"Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.""I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley may like you the best of the party."
"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown-up daughters, she ought to give
over thinking of her own beauty."</span>
