Notes
Christmas In England
Christmas in England lasts for three
days.
December 24th is called Christmas Eve.
Children hang up stockings for presents and go to bed early. Some
children leave mince pies out for Santa.
December 25th is called Christmas Day,
Children are very excited. They get up early and open all their
presents. Everyone eats turkey for lunch. (They usually have sprouts
too, even though nobody really likes them!)
December 26th is called Boxing Day and
people usually visit their families or stay at home to rest because
they ate too much on Christmas Day.
What can you remember?
On your OWN paper write down which of
these things we do on each day.
