READING

giving children presents. Christmas carols are played and sung in the
malls and on the streets.

Families and friends usually exchange presents. Families share a

Christmas meal that usually consists of roast turkey, roast potatoes and a
large choice of vegetables followed by Christmas Pudding and Mince
pies. Some people prefer Christmas parties where they drink beer, wine
and sometimes champagne. Since shops and entertainment centers are
closed, not many people go out at Christmas, unless they are going to
church or to visit families. Christmas celebrations are not just on
December 25th as people celebrate on Christmas Eve and the day after
Christmas which is called Boxing Day.

Santa Claus is part of the Christmas festivities and small children believe
he brings their presents down the chimney on Christmas Eve. Children
believe that he lives in the North Pole and travels with his reindeers to
deliver presents to children around the world. Some people traditionally
leave a glass of sherry for Santa and a carrot for his reindeers. There is
lots of excitement on Christmas morning as children get up VERY early to
open their presents.

meal. False
