CHRISTMAS
The 25th of December
is Christmas Day. It’s a happy holiday for many people in different countries.
Some week before
Christmas English people are busy. They send greeting cards to all their
relatives and friends. You can buy Christmas cards or you can make them. Many
children make their cards at school.
People buy a Christmas
tree and decorate it with toys, coloured balls and little coloured lights.
On Christmas Eve people
put their presents under the tree. When children go to bed, they put their
stockings near their beds.
At night Father Christmas
comes. He has got a big bag of presents for children. He puts the presents in
the children’s stockings.
Every year there is a
very big Christmas tree in the centre of London, in Trafalgar Square. This is a
present from the people of Norway to the people of Great Britain. They send it
to Londoners every year and Londoners decorate the Christmas tree.
In the evening before
Christmas people like to come to Trafalgar Square to look at the tree. On
Christmas Eve streets in London are decorated, too.
The shops are very busy
at Christmas. People want to buy presents for their family and friends (for
their nearest and dearest). And they buy a lot of food and drink for all the
Christmas parties.
People open their
presents on Christmas morning and they all are happy with what they get.
For Christmas lunch
people eat turkey, potatoes and green vegetables. Then they have the Christmas
pudding. At five o’clock it’s time for tea and Christmas cake.
On Christmas people wish
their nearest and dearest a merry Christmas.
