CHRISTMAS IN OUR ENGLISH CLASS

In Britain the most important day of Christmas is 25th December,

Christmas Day. Most British families decorate their Christmas trees with multi-coloured lights.

 Children usually wake up early to find a sock or stocking full of small presents hanging from their beds. Larger presents are under the Christmas tree in the living room. The presents are opened when everyone is together.

 An old custom for children is to put a shoe near the chimney and wait for the presents. In Catholic families children believe that it is the infant Jesus who brings the presents.  

The people of Norway give a Christmas tree to the people of Britain every year. This is to thank them for their help in the Second World War. The tree stands in Trafalgar Square, in London.
