    On Christmas Eve---the night before Christmas Day, children are very happy. They put their stockings (长筒袜) at the end of their beds before they go to bed. They want Father Christmas to give them some presents.

    Mr Green tells his children that Father Christmas is a very kind man. People also call him Santa Claus. He comes on Christmas Eve. He lands on the top of each house and comes down the chimney (烟囱) into the fireplace (壁炉). He brings children a lot of presents.

    Christmas Day always begins before breakfast. The children wake up very early. They can't wait to open the presents in their stockings. Then they wake up their parents and say “Merry Christmas!”

    Do you know what “Christmas” means? Christmas Day is the birthday of Jesus Christ (耶稣基督). When Christ was born (出生) many people gave him presents. So today, people still do the same thing to each other.

    Hello! My name is Lucy. My uncle has a farm in Sydney. There are twelve cows, fourteen pigs, twenty goats, sixty ducks and seventy hens on his farm. It's sunny and hot today. I wear my yellow T-shirt and red skirt. I go to my uncle's farm with my parents. The farm is big and nice. There are carrots and green beans, too. I like it very much. How about you?
