On this day Dad puts up the Christmas tree and decorates it We help and hang silver stars and chocolate figures on the tree We say Christmas Eve to the 24th December “Eve” is the short form of evening You don’t get your Christmas Mum goes shopping The shops are open all day and night, so present on Christmas next days Mum buys a big like in Germany that people can buy presents or food for the evening and the Eve 24.12 But we have a party! We sing and dance and play games It’s so turkey for the Christmas dinner Christmas cards hang in the living funny! Before we sleep we hang a big stocking on room In Great Britain the mantelpiece In the night people always send Santa comes with his sleigh and his reindeer Christmas cards to family and friends We have balloons and paper chains in the living room, too It is like a birthday party! But that’s not all! Dad hangs a mistletoe on the door and whenever two people meet under the mistletoe they have to kiss! Carol singers go from house to house and sing songs They get a little money His favourite reindeer is Rudolph They stop at the houses and Santa comes in through the chimney! Then he goes to the Christmas tree and puts the presents under it and into the stockings
