MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Happiest Day of the Year! By Brianna Livsey!

Christmas Preparation

• During the month of December, Christmas preparation takes place.

• Christmas Tree is decorated• Christmas lights and candles

are put up• Stockings are hung• Presents are bought and

wrapped

Christmas Eve

• Traditionally, families go to Church on December 24th, Christmas Eve after eating a big dinner.

• In my family, we open one Christmas present after we return home from church.

Christmas Night

• In the USA, the children lay out cookies and milk for Santa Claus on Christmas Night.

• When the children are asleep, Santa climbs down the chimney and lays presents under the Christmas tree.

Christmas Day

• On Christmas, children wake up very early to open their presents and their stockings.

• Adults also exchange gifts around the Christmas Tree.

• Similar to Thanksgiving, many families eat one big meal on Christmas Day, usually around 5 pm.
