- P2 On Christmas people bring a tree and decorate it with lights and ornaments. The most popular of all Christmas evergreens is the fir-tree. People in England used to grow many kinds of trees in pots for indoor decoration at Christmas.

(Music “Christmas tree”.)

- P1 Christmas tree came to us from Germany. The idea of bringing the fir-tree indoors at Christmas is said to have come from Martin Luther, a German religious reformer, who lived in the 16th century. The trees were decorated with paper, metal foil, and lights. About in 1835 the first Christmas tree was decorated. A few years later in England Queen Victoria decorated a tree at Windsor Castle.

Song “Jingle Bells”

Dashing through the snow

In a one – horse open sleigh

Over the hills we go

Bells on bob-tail ring

Making spirits bright

A sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one – horse open sleight.
