Christmas treeChristmas treeThe tradition of the Christmas tree originated about years ago. It is simply a spruce tree cut down and plonked into your room with decorations such as tinsel, baubles and candy canes on it.Sometimes a Christmas tree can have a star/angel on top of it. You can also put presents under it!!

Christmas stockings usually get hung from the mantel piece for Santa Clause to put your presents in.

They are the shape of a sock so they are a bit of an odd shape for the presents and any that are too big to get in the stocking get put on the floor.

At Christmas time we have special food like:•Chicken•Christmas pudding•Potatoes•Turkey•Christmas cake•Gravy•Tomato ketchupWe also do lots of things whilst eating. For example we have Christmas crackers as seen on the next page.

We have these and we pop them and sometimes we get toys inside them!
