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 in the
shops 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 or above the fireplace . At night Santa Claus comes. He has got a big bag of
presents for children. He puts the presents in the children’s stockings above
the fireplace.
There
is a very big Christmas tree in the centre of London every year, 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 with multicoloured lights, 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 the
members of their families and friends a merry Christmas.
The
day after Christmas is Boxing Day. People usually visit their relatives and
friends. They do not work on that day. It’s a rest day.
