IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME

Brian Day writes

On December 24th we put stars and candles on the Christmas tree. We put presents underm the tree, too. Then I put a stocking on my bed and go to sleep. At midnight Father Christmas comes and puts small presents in the stocking. I mustn't look! I sometimes get up at five o'clock and open the presents! December 25th is Christmas Day. we always go to church. Then my father is 'Father Christmas' and gives the presents from under the tree. I always have a lovely present from my grandfather and grandmother. Then we have dinner. Christmas is fun!
