Christmas Day—December, the 25th—
which celebrates the birth of Jesus
Christ, the founder of the Christian
religion, is the biggest and the best-
loved holiday throughout the Christian
world. It is a time of warmth and
gaiety, love and laughter, hospitality
and good will. Today, it’s a time for
people from far distance to gather
with their families.

Lesson 13- Christmas Day in the Morning
Children believe that on Christmas Eve Santa Claus, a fat, jolly man who wears a red suit, red hat and long white beard, slides down their chimney to bring them gifts. On Christmas Eve children would hang stockings by the fireplace, hoping that Santa Claus will fill them with candy and toys. Many youngsters would lie awake listening for Santa Claus and his sleigh; some children even leave him a snack of milk and cookies.

The custom of singing Christmas carols during the Christmas season goes back to the time when they were sung in the churches as part of the Nativity(=Christmas) plays. Now everybody sings them. From early December, beautiful Christmas songs are heard on the radio, on TV, in the streets and in office buildings. Many people still keep the custom of walking with friends from house to house singing the traditional carols of Christmas.

Lesson 13- Christmas Day in the Morning
In ancient times, branches of fir or spruce were considered to bring good luck and guarantee the return of spring. Today, Christmas trees are usually covered with colored balls and strings of colored lights. The star on top of the tree represents the star in the East which guided the Three Wise Men to Bethlehem, the Holy Land.
