Christmas Day
Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December. It is a very happy day for many boys and girls . Before the term ends in some schools , the children act a nativity① or “birth” play, showing how Jesus② was born in a stable③.
On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready. The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace , so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. The greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case④ or a sack⑤ to try to get more presents. Later that night, Father or Mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed.
On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two o'clock, and most of them are awake by six o'clock although it is not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year.Children look for their presents , and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in . The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten . Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it . The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.

在12月24日,所有的孩子都非常兴奋.通常他们会很早的就去睡了这样他们的父母就可以准备礼物.一些小孩认为圣诞老人会从烟囱或火炉中来,因此他们会悬挂袜子让（圣诞老人）放礼物.一些贪心的会挂枕垫或大袋,来拿更多的礼物.晚些,父亲或母亲会把礼物放进袜子里,并放在床边.
在圣诞节的早上,孩子们很早就起床了.有些尽然在2点就打开灯,大多数都会在6点醒来虽然这时在英国还没天亮.孩子们打开礼物,一些小孩在准备早餐时就开始玩着玩具.在下午1点,圣诞餐就会被准备好.火鸡或鸡肉很快被吃完.孩子们在圣诞布丁中搜寻被藏着的硬币.剩下来的时间就是在游戏还有吃中度过的,直到圣诞假期结束
