Christians in many parts of the world celebrate Christmas on 25 December. This festivity celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. When we think of Christmas we think of the Christmas tree. This tradition comes from Germany. Germans had a fir tree in their homes and they decorated it with biscuits and candles. Every year there is a very big Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square in London. It is a present from Norway.The Norwegians wanted to thank the British for their help during World War II. America's most famous tree is at Rockefeller Centre on Fifth Avenue in New York City. This tree has about five miles of lights!!!
Some Christians go to church at midnight on Christmas Eve, while others go on Christmas morning. Families try to be together and have dinner or lunch together with special foods. People usually send Christmas card to their friends or relatives: they usually buy boxes of Christmas cards, often from charity organizations. The families put them on the walls in their houses. Christmas carols are very popular too. Many of them are very old. A lot come from Europe but some are American, too. People sing carols in churches, in town centres and sometimes in front of their neighbours' houses.
I wish YOU ALL a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
