　　圣诞节在12月25日,它对男孩女孩们来说是快乐的一天.在一些学校学期结束前,孩子们会扮演些戏剧,耶稣怎样降生的.

　　在12月24日,所有的孩子都非常兴奋.通常他们会很早的就去睡了这样他们的父母就可以准备礼物.一些小孩认为圣诞老人会从烟囱或火炉中来,因此他们会悬挂袜子让(圣诞老人)放礼物.一些贪心的会挂枕垫或大袋,来拿更多的礼物.晚些,父亲或母亲会把礼物放进袜子里,并放在床边.

　　在圣诞节的早上,孩子们很早就起床了.有些尽然在2点就打开灯,大多数都会在6点醒来虽然这时在英国还没天亮.孩子们打开礼物,一些小孩在准备早餐时就开始玩着玩具.在下午1点,圣诞餐就会被准备好.火鸡或鸡肉很快被吃完.孩子们在圣诞布丁中搜寻被藏着的硬币.剩下来的时间就是在游戏还有吃中度过的,直到圣诞假期结束.
