We celebrate Christmas Day on the 25th of December. We also celebrate Christmas Eve on the 24th and Boxing Day on the 26th of December.

Children (and adults!) have advent calendars in December. We open them everyday. Most advent calendars have chocolates inside.

Christmas is an important holiday in the United Kingdom. Most people do not work on Christmas Day. A lot of people spend Christmas with their families.

I spend Christmas with my family.

This is my grandmother. She is called Anne.

This is a Christmas tree. We decorate our tree with ornaments and lights. We put our presents under the tree.

Houses and streets are decorated with lights. This photo is of the lights in Glasgow this year.

We decorate our front door with a wreath. This wreath is made of holly.

Santa Claus and his reindeer

On Christmas Eve, the 24th of December, Santa Claus visits every child in the UK. He leaves them presents if they are good. If they are bad, he leaves them a lump of coal.
