Christmas is a famous and really appreciated celebration. It is on  the 25th of  December. Before Christmas, people make preparation: they decorate their houses with Christmas trees . Herod’s killers  found the holy family (Jesus and his parents) and  the holly tree spread out its leaves to protect  them. At Christmas a lot of Christmas markets open.  We can see  some Fathers Christmas and we could sing carols (Christmas songs) .

History:

The celebration commemorates the birth of Jesus. It’s a Christian celebration. When the 3 Magi learnt of Jesus’s birth, they wanted to give some gifts to born of Jesus. However  bads persons wanted kill it because they thinked he will be the futur king. jesus is died  after but we commemorate his die too in april.

And it mean we put a nursery above the christmas tree and some gifts to represent the gifts of Magis.

The celebration:

Each year, at the Christmas Eve, we eat chiken for after  sleep us. After day, it’s Christmas we can so open our gifts.

Each year, the lights of the city switch on and the town become wonderful and extraordinary!
