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.




HOLLY

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?

HAPPY CHRISTMAS ♫ ♪ BY JOHN LENNON




So this is Christmas 
And what have you done 
Another year over 
And a new one just begun 
And so this is Christmas 
I hope you have fun 
The near and the dear ones 
The old and the young 

A very merry Christmas 
And a happy New Year 
Let's hope it's a good one 
Without any fear 

And so this is Christmas (War is over) 
For weak and for strong (If you want it) 
For rich and the poor ones (War is over) 
The world is so wrong (Now) 
And so Happy Christmas (War is over) 
For black and for white (If you want it) 
For yellow and red ones (War is over) 
Let's stop all the fight (Now) 

A very merry Christmas 
And a happy New Year 
Let's hope it's a good one 
Without any fear 

So this is Christmas (War is over) 
And what have we done (If you want it) 
Another year over (War is over) 
And a new one just begun (Now) 
And so Happy Christmas (War is over) 
We hope you have fun (If you want it) 
The near and the dear one (War is over) 
The old and the young (Now) 

A very merry Christmas 
And a happy New Year 
Let's hope it's a good one 
Without any fear 

War is over if you want it 
War is over now
