520    In English-speaking countries around the world people 
       celebrate Easter, Valentine's Day, Christmas, and other 
       special days. Some celebrations are new, like Remembrance 
       Day and Mother's Day; others, like the summer solstice, go
       back thousands of years. What happens on these special 
       days? What do people eat, where do they go, what do they 
       do? Why is there a special day for eating pancakes? Who is
       the 'guy' that children take onto the streets in November?
       And where do many people like to spend the shortest night 
       of the year in England? Come on a journey through a year 
       of celebrations, from New Year's Eve to Christmas.
