In the squares, people gather and sing Christmas carols throughout the month
of December, at the corners and intersections of large streets and shops, you
can hear recognizable bells calling for donations to the poor.
 As many as 400 radio stations play Christmas music 24
hours a day for a month.

Gift-giving has become the central theme

of the approach to the holiday.

Children of all ages go to soup kitchens to

help those who have no one. In the
churches, you can feel the Spirit of
gentleness and beauty, feeling for man.
 Children hang large stockings in which a gift is left for them.
The difference is that British children hang their stockings at the
bottom of the bed in the hope that they will be full of presents
when they get up, while American children usually hang theirs
by the fireplace.
 Like most children around the world, American and British
children also write letters to Santa during the holidays. With
the fact that in America the one who brings gifts is better
known as Santa Claus, and in Britain as Father Christmas

That's why in Britain, instead of

sending letters to the North Pole by
post, as in America, they are lit in a fire
and sent to Christmas Santa through
the chimney.
