Christmas!!!
Christmas
is a festival celebrated by Christians all over the world, that falls
on the 25th of December. This festival is to mark the birth of Jesus
Christ, who Christians belive is the son of the one God and Mary the
Virgin.
At this time, Christians sometimes go to church, or buy Christmas
presents for each other. On Christmas day, for dinner it is traditional
to have turkey, but now it is common to have goose as well!!
People
can also get Christmas trees, (fir trees) that they decorate with
colourful tinsel, baubles and Christmas lights.
The tale that is told to young children on Christmas eve
features a large, jolly old man in red and white who carries a
large sack of presents for cildren who have been good!! The
presents that are presented on Christmas Day (See what I
did!!!) are a result of the previous years bribery.
At this festival, giving is more important than
recieving, but recieving is so much more fun! The
warm fuzzy feeling you get in your stomach is
matched with the brand new items you have in
your lap!
