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.
