Christmas in England

In English speaking countries, children don’t get their presents on Christmas Eve (24
December). Santa comes at night when everyone is asleep. Santa’s reindeer can fly
and take him from house to house. They land on the roofs of the houses and then
Santa climbs down the chimney to leave the presents under the Christmas tree.

In the morning of Christmas Day (25 December), children usually get up very early to
unwrap their presents. Then they have plenty of time to play with their new toys.

Christmas dinner is served in the early afternoon. Most people eat turkey and
sprouts and a Christmas pudding.

26 December is called Boxing Day. It hasn’t always been a holiday. People used to go
back to work on that day where their bosses gave them little Christmas presents in
small boxes. That’s why the day is called Boxing Day.
