Text 1 CHRISTMAS
Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year. British people celebrate it on the 25th of December. Christmas is a home and family celebration in Britain. Those who live away try to get back home.
Before Christmas everybody buys Christmas presents for friends and relatives. People try to give children the presents they want. Children count the weeks, then the days to Christmas.
On Christmas Eve, families and friends gather for celebration. Housewives are busy preparing food, and children are sent to bed. They are told 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.
The parties that British children like to celebrate most of all are Christmas and birthday parties.
