In many countries, Christmas is the most important festival of the year. Christmas is always on December 25th, and before that day people will put up a large Christmas tree in their home. Under the Christmas tree they put many gifts for everyone to share. Children are always very excited at Christmas because they can get many wonderful presents from Father Christmas. Father Christmas is a fat happy man in red clothes. He brings gifts to all the children. He comes to their home on the night before Christmas and puts their gifts under the tree or in a sock. Then on Christmas morning the children hurry to open their gifts. Families and friends come together on that day for a big Christmas lunch or dinner. They often eat ham,potatoes and a Christmas turkey. Everyone sings many wonderful Christmas songs. It really is a happy time.
