As Christmas approaches, towns and cities around the UK are preparing for a very British celebration．

The switching on of a town' s Christmas lights has become an increasingly competitive event over the years, with some councils （会议） spending lots of money to attract A-list famous persons to do the honors．

The American singer Mariah Carey flew to London in November to switch on the lights at one of the city's biggest shopping centers, while Jim Carrey lighted Oxford Street and promoted his new film at the same time．

Traffic in the historic English city of Bath was brought to a halt as thousands of fans crowded to see the Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage conducted the switching-on ceremony．

Some celebrations do not go according to the plan, as was seen in Birmingham when dozens of people were injured as the famous British boy band JLS took the stage．

Not all towns can afford to bring in an internationally-known star, so many switchon ceremonies are handled by ex-TV talent show competitors．

Pantomime （圣诞童话剧） stars are also much in demand at this time of year, as they aim to promote their Christmas shows．

But if your council hasn't got the budget to bring in a famous face, what are the cheaper alternatives?

A town in the west of England chose to let the public decide by giving their suggestions online．The result: a 21-year-old DIY store worker was given the honor．

"I was amazed and delighted to be asked," said Scott Parker, "it's just a special gift and not something I'd, ever thought about before．"

A．People meeting their favorite stars and getting special gifts．

D．Switching-on ceremonies that are conducted by honored persons．
