At the Penguin Dossiers site, I read that in Britain they prepare for Christmas for many weeks before the 25th December. It is a special holiday and it has a very long history.
There have been festivals at this time of year for 4000 years. First,it was to celebrate the end of the growing season and to help the dark and cold winter pass. Then, to celebrate the birth of Christ.
Usually, they put a star on the top of Christmas trees, which are an important sign of Christmas. Around the tree are bigger presents which families open together on Christmas morning.
Christmas is a magical time for children. Father Christmas comes to each house from the north, and he brings presents in his sleigh pulled by reindeer. He comes down the chimney in the night and leaves presents for them. The history of his magical person began in Turkey where people told stories.
