On Christmas Day bells ring everywhere。 The ringing bells tell people： Christmas iscoming。 People sing and dance day and night。 They have a good time。
Most families buy a Christmas tree for their children。 And there are presents hanging from the tree here and there。 People also put presents in their children’sstockings。 In many places Father Christmas himself brings presents to them。 He is a kind old man。 He’s in red clothes； with a big bag on his back。 In the bag there are a lot of presents。
