Christmas Day
On December 25,people around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.Some people celebrate by giving gifts.Children may be thanking Santa Claus for new toys.They may also be going to church with their families.Christmas has so many traditions and symbols associated with it,that it's hard to determine exactly how it came to be the celebration it is today.
Christmas Day
Ah!Christmas morning!Children like to wake up early while it's still dark and sneak into the living room to check the presents----find any with their name on it,shake them to guess what's inside,and then maybe they'll go back to bed and pretend they are still asleep when their parents come to wake them with a "Merry Christmas!"
But almost no one I know gets completely dressed or eats a regular breakfast first thing Christmas morning.They just put on a robe or wear their pajamas and go to see what's under the Christmas tree.Some Christian families have a tradition of reading the Bible story of Jesus' birth.Maybe it's to remind the children that Christmas is Jesus' birthday.
Someone will begin to take the presents out from under the tree,see whose name is on the package,and then pass them around.Some families wait until all the presents have been given out before opening any of them,while others open each one as it comes to them.There are many "thank you" to the ones who gave the gifts,new clothes are tried on to see if they fit,and of course the most interesting toys will immediately be played with.
Usually among the Christmas gifts will be some especially delicious candy or cake or cookies which everyone tastes.These sweet things may be the only breakfast many people eat Christmas morning.After the gifts have been opened,the room will be tidied up except where the children are playing with their toys.Everyone will wash and get dressed for the day.
Some people may go to a Christmas morning church service around ten o'clock if their church didn't have one on Christmas Eve.But most people will just watch TV.Well,most men will.The children may play outside or inside with their new toys,but the mothers will be in the kitchen preparing Christmas Dinner.

For today's Christian, the origin of Christmas is, and should be, the birth of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible. Nothing more and nothing less. However, most of what we witness on December 25th each year has absolutely nothing to do with that blessed day, which probably occurred in late summer or early fall about 2,000 years ago. In fact, most of the customs and traditions of Christmas actually pre-date the birth of Jesus, and many of them are downright deceptive in their meaning and origin. Anyway, who cares when Christ was born?
Christmas Day,the 25th of December,is the biggest festival(节日)celebrated in the Christian countries of the world.Although everyone enjoys Christmas Day,it is particularly enjoyed by children,who get very excited because of the presents they know they are going to receive.Small children believe that their presents are brought by Father Christmas(圣诞老人).Father Christmas is a kind of old man who,the children are told,lives at the North Pole.He travels through the sky on a sleigh(雪撬) which is pulled by reindeers(驯鹿) and loaded with(装满) presents.Stopping on the roof of houses,he enters by climbing the chimney(烟囱).When small children go to bed on Christmas Eve,they hang a stocking at the end of their beds.Their parents warn them not to try to look at Father Christmas,or he will not leave them anything.When they wake,they find their stockings filled with presents.Children are very excited on Christmas morning and always wake up early.
Christmas is also a family celebration.As any members of the family as possible gather to eat,play party games and watch the special Christmas programmes on TV.
