And before we start let’s listen to a Christmas poem.
Poem Christmas
Christmas is more than a day in December
It's all of those things that we love to remember
Its carolers singing familiar refrains
Bright colored stockings and shiny toy trains
Streamers of tinsel and glass satin balls
Laughter that rings through the house and its halls
Christmas is more than a day in December
Its the magic and the love
That we'll always remember
Christmas is celebrated on December 25. It is probably the most popular holiday in Great Britain. It is a family holiday. Traditionally all relatives and friends give each other presents.
In general, people get prepared for this holiday very carefully. They decorate their houses with Christmas trees and hang stockings on the fireplace.

Besides the Christmas tree, holly and mistletoe are used to decorate the house.

Game 1 Christmas Sending
Many children believe that Santa Claus arrives on Christmas Eve in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and brings presents. He puts them into the stockings. It can be sweets, oranges, nuts. And if a child didn’t behave properly Santa Claus can put there a piece of coal as punishment.

Poem Santa
Santa comes on Christmas Eve
Seeking those who yet believe
Through a frosty winter night
In a sleigh with reindeer flight
Bringing joy to large and small
Merry Christmas one and all.
Game 2 Puzzles
Carol singing is an essential part of Christmas. Usually children come around in the evening to the front doors and start singing carols and people who live in these houses give children candies, nuts, pies to thank them for carol singing.
