Christmas is an important festival in Britain and many other parts of the world. On Christmas Eve—the night before Christmas Day–children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas e during the night.
Christmas is very kind—hearted. He lands on top of each house and climbs down the chimney into the fireplace.
He fills each of the stockings with Christmas course, Father Christmas isn’t real. In their houses, “Father Christmas” is really their fathers. Their fathers don’t climb down the chimney. They wait until the children are asleep. Then they go into their bedrooms, and fill their stockings with small presents.
When they are young, their fathers sometimes dress up in a red coat. The children are no longer young, and they know who “Father Christmas”really is. But they still put their stockings at the end of their beds.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a very important cultural festival in the United States. It takes place on the last Thursday of November and its purpose, as its name suggests, is to give thanks for all that we have.
