On Christmas Eve—the night before Christmas Day—children are very happy. They put their stockings at the end of
their beds before they go to bed. They want Father Christmas to give them some
presents.
Mr. Green tells his children that Father Christmas is a very kind man, He
comes on Christmas Eve. He lands on the roof of each house and comes down the
chimney into the fireplace and brings them a lot of presents.
On Christmas Day the children wake up very early. They can't wait to
open the presents in their stockings. Then they wake up their parents and say, “Merry Christmas!”
Do you know what Christmas means? Christmas Day is the birthday of Jesus
Christ. When Christ was born, many people gave him presents. So today, people
still do the same thing to each other.
