The custom of giving on 25 December only dates back to Victorian times Before that it was more common in Britain
to exchange presents on New Year‘s Eve 31st December These days on Christmas Eve parents put presents for
young children in ‘stockings’ and leave them in their bedrooms while they are asleep When children wake up in the
morning, many of them believe that Santa Claus has visited them in the night and brought them their presents Gifts for older children and grown – ups are put around the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve Then on Christmas morning, everyone sits around the tree and opens their presents
Easter and Mother‘s Day are also important days Young children usually receive chocolate eggs at Easter, and people often give presents (chocolates or flowers) to their mothers on Mother‘s Day People also receive gifts on important occasions in their lives For example, all the guests at a wedding traditionally bring a gift for the bride and groom And these days, students sometimes get presents from their parents if they do well on their exams
