A) The day after Christmas Day, it is primarily known as a shopping holiday. It is a time where shops have sales. Traditionally, this holiday was the day to open the Christmas Box to share the contents with the poor.

B) People call this person the saint of love. On this day people send cards. They don’t put their names at the end of their cards because they want their name to be a secret. Children and older people give cards, presents and flowers to their boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives.

C) On this day children eat chocolate eggs and rabbits. They enjoy listening to stories about the bunny who brings eggs in a fancy basket.

D) It is a festival for children. They usually make lamps out of pumpkins and put them in the windows at night. Children go from house to house and say “Trick or treat”, which means “give us something to eat or we play a trick on you”. People give them fruit, sweets or chocolate.

E) The holiday is celebrated in various countries, including the United States and Great Britain, and marked by the playing of practical jokes.
