Did you get some presents on this Christmas Day?A Christmas Day is the most important festival in Britain and some other countries. On Christmas Eve (December 24th), people usually tell their children to put their stockings at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Children believe Father Christmas will bring them Christmas presents.Actually, Father Christmas is children's father. He dresses up in a red coat and waits until children fall asleep. Then he goes into children's bedrooms, and puts small presents in their stockings. When children are no longer young, they know who Father Christmas really is.Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings. They also have stockings. Early on the morning of Christmas Day, children wake their parents up say “Merry Christmas”. Then they help their parents open their stockings. Everybody likes presents.
