The Christmas season has begun and everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit! We wish each other ‘Merry Christmas’ and send Christmas cards to family and friends. We decorate the outside of our houses in brightly coloured lights and the inside with Christmas-themed decorations. Every town and city has a Santa Claus parade. Workplaces have end-of-year parties. It’s a fun time of year!
For children, Christmas is the best day of the year! Weeks before Christmas, children have their picture taken with Santa at the local mall. They write letters to Santa telling him whether they’ve been naughty or nice and telling him what they want for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, children put out cookies and milk for Santa (he has a long night ahead of him!). When they wake up in the morning – presents! Lots of them! Just for them under the Christmas Tree!
[Somewhere around the age of 8-10, children come to realize (or are told by cruel older children) that there is no Santa Claus. This is a very sad day for kids.]
Every December, my family has an annual Christmas party for all our aunts, uncles, and cousins. On Christmas morning, we gather around the Christmas tree to open presents. Afterwards, we have a huge breakfast – usually pancakes with maple syrup and bacon. In the afternoon, we rest before more family comes over for more gift-exchanges and a huge dinner!
