In Western countries, although Christmas is the biggest holiday, the New Year still occupies an irreplaceable and important position in people's minds. New Year's Eve is an essential event to celebrate the arrival of the new year. People in Western countries like to spend the last night of the year beaming with joyful music and brilliant brilliance.
At this time, fancy dress parties are especially popular. The guests dressed eccentrically, hiding dignity and discretion behind masks. Everyone is free to play and have fun, which is very different from their usual behavior. In the United Kingdom and the United States, when the clock strikes midnight, people participating in the party also hold hands and sing the famous Scottish folk song "A Friendship Lasts Forever".
Valentine's Day: February 14
Valentine's Day is a very important holiday in the United Kingdom and the United States, which falls on February 14 every year. On Valentine's Day, not only couples exchange cards and gifts, but people also give gifts and cards to their parents, old friends and others whom they respect and love.
Particularly intriguing is the fancy dress party on Valentine's night. This was very popular decades ago. Those who attended the ball took great pains to dress themselves up, some disguised as medieval knights, some disguised as Spanish pirates, and some disguised as eastern emperors.
Smart prom hosts often send each guest a lace Valentine's card with someone's name on it, and that person becomes your partner for the evening. So at the ball, people can see Romeo and Cinderella dancing; Hamlet laughing with Carmen; Arabian princess dining with Charles II. They were dressed so vividly. It makes people feel as if a group of ancient people have really been resurrected.

People who are fooled on April Fools' Day are called April Fools. The most typical April Fool's Day activity is when everyone jokes with each other and makes fun of each other with lies.
Some people left their wallets tied with thin strings on the street and pulled the other end of the string in the dark. As soon as someone picked up the wallet, they yanked it away unexpectedly. Others put bricks in the middle of the road under broken hats and waited to see who would kick it. Children will tell their parents that they have a hole in their bag or a black spot on their face. When the adults leaned over to look, they shouted "April Fool" and ran away with a smile. Many zoos and aquariums also received calls to Mr. Fish and Mr. Lion on this day, often causing the staff to cut off the phone lines to reduce trouble.
