HOLIDAYS AND FESTIVALS IN BRITAIN (3)
People in Britain celebrate Christmas on 25 December. They celebrate it as the day when Jesus Christ was born. It is often cold, wet and foggy at Christmas. Families decorate their homes and Christmas trees. The day before Christmas is Christmas Eve. It is a very busy time for families in England. They prepare presents, make Christmas cakes, hang stockings near the fireplace. Children I often write letters to Father Christmas with their wishes. They believe that while they are sleeping, Father Christmas comes to visit. He is a kind old man in red clothes with a big sack1 of toys. He puts sweets and small toys in the children’s stockings.
On Christinas Day everyone opens presents and sits down to table to have a big dinner. Families usually have turkey or goose with vegetables. After dinner the family gathers in the living room to listen to Queen of England on television. At teatime in the late afternoon they drink tea with the Christmas cake.
During the holiday carolers go from house to house in the evening. They ring handbells and sing carols, Christmas songs. People give the carolers pies, nuts, fruit or a little money.
The day after Christmas is Boxing Day. But there’s no fighting on that day. The name “boxing” comes from the time when people put money for the poor in the church boxes. Then on 26 December the poor got that money. Now people often use this day to give some money to people who helped them during the year.
