Christmas- the 25th of December

People decorate their houses in the traditional way.

Besides the Christmas tree, holly and mistletoe are used to decorate the house.

On the eve of Christmas children hang their stockings, so that Santa Claus could put presents into them: oranges, sweets, nuts and if the child didn't behave properly Santa Claus can put there a piece of coal as punishment.

A typical Christmas lunch includes turkey with cranberry sauce and pudding. Usually a coin or two are hidden inside the pudding and part of the fun is to see who finds it.

Carol singing is an essential part of Christmas. Carols may be traditional or with some variations that express different feelings. Carols were used for the first time during Christmas in the fifteenth century.

Usually children come around in the evening to the front doors and start singing carols and people who live in these houses give children candies, nuts, pies and so on, to thank them for carol singing.

Father Frost Bring many toys For little girls And little boys! Read the poem.

Merry! Merry Christmas Is likely to come Merry! Merry Christmas You are welcome! Snow in the window Much confetti Bright-blue, red and yellow Lights on the tree. Smiling eyes and faces Sweet music in the hall I think someone places Happiness here for all Merry! Merry Christmas Is likely to come Merry! Merry Christmas You are welcome!
