Christmas

  At Christmas, which is a home and family celebration in Britain, those who live away try to get back home. Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year.

      As Christmas comes nearer, everyone is buying Christmas presents for friends and relatives. At Christmas people try to give the children everything they want.

              The children count the weeks, then the days, to Christmas.

            On Christmas Eve families and friends gather for the festivities. Housewives are busy preparing food, and children are sent to bed. They are told that if they don’t go to sleep, Father Christmas will not bring them any presents. Then, when they are asleep, the parents come into their bedrooms and leave the presents near their beds, or under the Christmas – tree, or in a stocking hanging up somewhere in the room.
