INTRODUCTION In this project I studied such holidays as Christmas and New Year in three different countries: Great Britain, USA and Russia. I chose this theme because I like these holidays most of all and I am always looking forward to their coming. I think that there is something magic about these holidays and they make you feel happy. Even an adult believes in miracles on Christmas and New Year.

CONCLUSION Having studied this theme I came to the conclusion that there are a number of differences in these holidays in three countries, though British and American customs are almost the same. I showed all these differences in my tables and I came to the conclusion that the differences are not huge, especially differences in celebration of New Year.
