Do you like Christmas Day? In western countries it is the most important day in the year. All the people come back to their homes to have the day with their parents or their children.
On Christmas Day, bells ring everywhere. The ringing bells tell people: Christmas is coming. People sing and dance day and night. They have a good time.
Most families buy a Christmas tree for their children. And there are presents hanging from the tree here and there. People also put presents in their children's stockings. In many places Father Christmas himself brings presents to them, He is a kind old man. He's in red clothes, with a big bag on his back. In the bag there are a lot of presents.
Christmas is also a day when people enjoy all kinds of food. But some poor people have no house to go back to and have no food to eat. They even die of cold and hunger on Christmas Day. Have you read the story A little Match Girl? She died on the morning of Christmas Day.
