Christmas Day
Christmas is a merry religious holiday when people celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. A lot of grown-up people, as well as children, all over the world love this holiday. They believe that it is time when magical things can happen and all dreams come true.
Traditionally Christmas is celebrated on the 25th of December. But long before that day people decorate streets and houses, buy presents for relatives and friends, send Christmas cards. Everybody loves to decorate a Christmas tree at home. In schools children learn special Christmas songs and poems about Christmas. They arrange performances for their parents.
The Christmas story comes from the Bible. An angel came to three magicians and told them that a special child was born. His parents, Maria and Joseph, lived not far from Bethlehem*. The star led the wise men to the baby, who was named Jesus. The magicians gave little Jesus wonderful presents.
And still the tradition to give presents on Christmas is still alive. Children place a stocking, or a sock, over the fireplace. They believe that Santa Clause can go down the chimney and put sweets and presents inside the stocking for them. People also believe that angels and elves help Santa with presents. And on the Christmas Eve magic red nosed deer Rudolf and his friends bring Santa to all good children.
