What do people do at Christmas?

Christmas is one of the most important festivals in western countries, but people have different customs and habits in different countries.

A few months before Christmas, children in Britain will write to Santa Claus and list the gifts they want. Only their letters were not put into the mailbox, but were thrown into the fireplace by the children. They think the rising heat can convey their wishes to Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve, children hang stockings by the fireplace, expecting Santa Claus to fill them with presents when he visits late at night. Of course, he only came after the children fell asleep. The traditional Christmas news in Britain also includes giving gifts.

In Finland, Santa Claus is the center of Christmas presents. Every Christmas Eve, Santa Claus will visit their home (of course, Santa Claus is dressed by the father of the child, but don't let the child know. When Santa Claus comes, he likes to ask, "Are there any good children here?" The child can't wait to answer: "Yes!" When he leaves a basket of gifts, children and adults will sing farewell songs for him.

In Germany, the main character of Christmas is the Christmas tree. In fact, the custom of decorating Christmas trees began in Germany about 400 years ago. Germans like to wait until Christmas Eve to show their Christmas trees. Christmas Eve celebrations usually begin with attending church services in the afternoon. When I get home, my mother puts up the Christmas tree and my father takes care of the children. Mother decorated the Christmas tree with delicious things, such as apples, nuts, biscuits, handmade decorations and lights, and then put presents under the Christmas tree. When she is ready to show the surprise of the Christmas tree, she will ring the bell to signal that she can enter. Soon, children will rush in to admire their Christmas trees and start getting their Christmas presents.

Of course, this is a foreign country. For China, there is not so much pressure. Just be simple and happy. However, it is impossible to emulate foreign practices, right? Hehe, I haven't decided anyway

Also, be sure to go shopping, there will be a big sale ~ ~

And, and, merry Christmas, everyone!
