One year, two weeks before Christmas, I went to London with my mother. I 1 forget the day. The streets were 2 people. The shop windows were very bright. My mother held my hand and we both went into a toy shop. The shop was full of 3. There were nice toys 4. Then I saw Father Christmas. I 5 my mother by the hand. "Please 6 me to Father Christmas," I said. There were 7 children near Father Christmas. They were standing 8 line. Father Christmas spoke to every one of them. At last it was my 9. "Hello, little Tom." he said to me. As soon as I heard his 10, I found out that he was my uncle, John Smith.

    Christmas Day always comes on the 25th of December. It is the biggest festival in many countries. Children are very excited because they can get many presents from Father Christmas. Father Christmas is an old man in red clothes. When small children go to bed on the night of December 24th, they put a stocking at the end of their bed. Their parents ask them to sleep early, or Father Christmas will not give them anything. Children are very excited on Christmas morning and always wake up early, because they can see many presents in their stockings.

    On Christmas Day, all the families will get together to have a big lunch or dinner, play party games and watch the Christmas programmers on TV.
