- Christmas is they're greatest feast of the year. It is kept in memory of the birth of our Lord. It is held on the 25th of December.
Some people keep Chraistmas as a holy day, and others keep it as a holiday. Some people go to church on Christmas days, and others play games and amuse themselves.
Before Christmas there are people collecting money. In the town there are carol singers, singing in the streets collecting money. This money is collected to buy food for the poor people, and to buy toys for the poor children. We get special food on Christmas Day. We get either a turkey or a goose to our dinner on Christmas Day. We get fancy cake to our tea in the evening. We get Christmas pudding after our dinner and for our supper.
At Christmas time we get presents from our friends, and we send presents to our friends. I like Christmas better than any other feast.- Collector
