Christmas

 

The 24^th of December is called Christmas Eve.

It is not a holiday in Britain. It is the day for decorating the house. They decorate their trees with coloured lights, coloured Christmas sphere, chocolate coins and candy. To the top they put an angel or a star.

The rest of the house is decorated with balloons, paper chains, holly and mistletoe. Children hang up stocking on the mantelpiece.

On the morning of the 25th Christmas Day, children wake up early to find their stockings filled with presents from Santa Claus.

The Christmas dinner is usually eaten at midday or early afternoon. The dinner includes roast turkey, Brussels sprouts, roast potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing and Christmas pudding.

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon on the 25 th of December, the Queen gives her Christmas speech to the nation. It is broadcasted on radio and television.

 

In United States of America Christmas celebrations are very different in different parts of the country. In California Santa Claus comes on a surf board, but in New York he comes with reindeers.

 

Christmas in Australia is often very hot because it is in the middle of their summer. It is often around 35 degrees Celsius in December. Santa often comes on a surf board or boat. Some Australians have Christmas dinner at the beach. Thousands of people eat at Bondi Beach in Sydney. A traditional Australian Christmas dinner includes turkey, ham and pork. They eat plum pudding as dessert.

Christmas is beautiful everywhere because it is a celebration of love.
