From the 1st of December to the 24th of December children have advent calendars which they open every day.
Behind the doors are chocolates or a picture.
We open the doors to count down the days until Christmas.

Some families have an advent candle.
This is a candle with 24 marks on and is also to count down the days until Christmas.
Every day a bit more of the candle is burnt down.

The children write letters to Father Christmas to ask for
presents.
Good children get presents.

The 24th of December is Christmas Eve.
On Christmas Eve people sing in the streets and knock on doors to ask for money for charity.
They are called Carol Singers.

On the night before Christmas some people go to Midnight Mass.
This is a special service at church where people come together to sing Christmas songs.
It starts at midnight!

Christmas Eve is the night Father Christmas comes and bring presents for the children.
Children hang stockings at the end of their bed or on the fireplace and wait for their presents.
