Trang 1From early November and
onwards Christmas moves in
on you more and more It is
hard not to see that
Christmas is just around the
corner Everywhere you look
you see lights decorating
houses and shops
“Christmas trees” will be
decorated with lights and
ornaments in shopping malls
and streets If you dare enter
a shopping mall you will soon
hear carols over the
loudspeakers Groups of
people may be in the streets
singing carols to raise money
for charity In December
shops stay open till late Many
places of work will have a
Christmas party for the staff
during December and some
companies also give presents
to the employees
During December many
homes will be decorated with
colored or white electric
lights Just before Christmas
Eve people also bring a real
tree into their homes They
decorate the tree with electric
lights and ornaments In some
countries real candles replace
the electric lights
Christmas cards also have to
be written It is a nice
tradition that many people
enjoy The better part may be
to receive some The cards
are hung up on the walls, on a
string, put on the mantelpiece
or displayed in another nice
way
The jolly old man with the long white beard, red coat and bag of toy is awaited by most young kids He is believed to live on the North Pole with his wife Mary and assistants called elves The elves help Santa in his workshop making toys that will later be wrapped in paper and brought to children all over the world He arrives through the sky on a sledge pulled by reindeer He comes into houses down the chimney at midnight and places presents for the children in socks or bags by the beds of children He may also leave them in front
of the Christmas tree
In shops someone will dress up as Father Christmas and give small presents to children He may also ask them what gifts they want for Christmas
