In many countries of the world, the celebration of Christmas on December 25th is a high point of the year. From November onwards, it is impossible to forget that Christmas is coming.
Colored lights decorate many town centers and shops, along with shiny decorations, and artificial snow painted on shop windows. Shopping centers become busier as December approaches and often stay open till late.
Shopping center speaker systems will play the traditional Christmas songs, and groups of people will often sing carols on the streets to raise money for charity. In many countries, most people post Christmas greeting cards to their friends and family.
In shops or at children’s parties, someone will dress up as Father Christmas and give small presents to children, or ask them what gifts they want for Christmas. Christmas can be a time of magic and excitements for children.
