A2.1. Christmas
Every year in December, we celebrate Christmas time. This time is lovely especially for kids, because it’s snowing, children make a snowman, help their parents bake a mince pie and decorate a Christmas tree with balls and tinsels.
There is one person who is treated like a special guest and everyone is waiting for them. I think you know who I am talking about. Of course Santa! He comes in his sleigh to give a gift to every child who was nice during the passing year. In some countries, children find their presents under a Christmas tree, but there are also countries in which Santa puts them into stockings. He never stays for a dinner, because he must work hard the whole night so that every kid can get their gift.
