Christmas in Germany

Christmas in Germany starts early. People light one candle on every Sunday and have a
"Adventskalender". On the 6th of December they have St. Nicola's Day, but they still have to go to school. On the
day before Christmas families decorate their own Christmas trees with candles, balls and tinsel. On the evening of
the 24th December families give gifts to family members and friends. They also sing Christmas carols and eat lots
of yummy food like ducks with dumplings.Before they give presents on Christmas Eve they go to church. The day
after Christmas Day people have holidays.
Christmas in England

Christmas is celebrated in England with people giving and receiving presents to family and friends. Many people
share a Christmas meal of roast turkey, roast potatoes and a large choice of vegetables followed by Christmas
Pudding and Mince pies. They may also organize parties where beer, wine and sometimes champagne are served.
Not many people go out at Christmas, unless they are going to families as on Christmas Day no shops or
amusements are open.

Christmas celebrations are not just on 25th December 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. Nobody ever gets to see him in their homes, though, because
he only comes when everybody is sound asleep. Children believe that he lives in the North Pole and
it is a tradition to 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. In the
weeks before Christmas, Santa also sits in Santa’s grotto in shopping malls where lots of different Christmas carols
are played and sung. Children can go and get a small present from him.
