CHRISTMAS EVE

Today is December 24th and  it is a very special day for young children because Santa Claus is coming tonight.

In the United Kingdom children put Christmas stockings at the ends of their beds or near the fireplace. 

If the children have been good, Father Christmas will  fill them up with small presents and candy. 

In the past, people put up Christmas decorations on Christmas Eve, but today, most people decorate their homes one or two weeks before Christmas Day. 

In the past, people decorated the house with evergreen: holly, mistletoe and ivy.

    IVY

Now, people decorate the inside and outside of their houses with  lights, garlands, bells ...  

Red and green are the traditional colours of Christmas decorations.

Do you have a Christmas tree full of decorations in the living room? Do you put presents under the tree? What's on top of your tree? A star or an angel?

Is there a wreath on the front door?
