Some holidays are well-known all around the world.Among them are New Year's Eve celebrations.Also

holidays,too,often to mark important events in its history.Schools,banks,and government offices all close on
days like these.________(46)A few of them are really very strange.
Of course,they are not strange to the people who celebrate them.Perhaps that is because the
celebrations have long traditions.Consider April Fool's Day,for example.No one knows when or why it

people play practical jokes._________(47)The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes.The people

Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange,too.On this day,it is traditional for boys to pour water over the
heads of girls.Here is the strangest part:They do it to girls they like.

celebrated in Bunol,Spain.Every year,in late August,big trucks carry more than 200.000 pounds of
tomatoes into this little town._________(48)For two hours,people in the streets throw tomatoes at each
other. Everyone ends up red from head to toe.
August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair,an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition.People from
the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat.__________(49)
There are also some celebrations that are really strange.In the United States,sometimes one person
gets an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it.Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day?
That one is on February 28.It may seem strange,but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9.
