I'm sure that Christmas is one of your favorite times of the year. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet up with friends and family.
Everywhere looks lovely because all the Christmas lights have been put up and it feels like there’s magic in the air!
Do you love lighting up the fire and getting into the Christmas spirit? Do you like wrapping up presents? Or would you rather unwrap them?
Make sure you hang up your stockings on the fireplace and leave milk and biscuits for Santa Claus before Christmas' Eve (December 24th)! When everyone is asleep, Santa comes down the chimney and leaves the presents.
Then, on Christmas Day everyone gets together to celebrate and sits down to eat. They normally play games and sing along to Christmas Carols. The worst thing about Christmas is taking down the tree! It is very sad as it means that the holidays are over!
