On December 25, people around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Some people celebrate by giving gifts. Children may be thanking Santa Claus for new toys. They may also be going to church with their families. Christmas has so many traditions and symbols associated with it, that its hard to determine exactly how it came to be the celebration it is today.
　　Christmas Day
　　Ah! Christmas morning! Children like to wake up early while its still dark and sneak into the living room to check the presents----find any with their name on it, shake them to guess whats inside, and then maybe theyll go back to bed and pretend they are still asleep when their parents come to wake them with a Merry Christmas!
　　But almost no one I know gets completely dressed or eats a regular breakfast first thing Christmas morning. They just put on a robe or wear their pajamas and go to see whats under the Christmas tree. Some Christian families h**e a tradition of reading the Bible story of Jesus birth. Maybe its to remind the children that Christmas is Jesus birthday.
　　Someone will begin to take the presents out from under the tree, see whose name is on the package, and then pass them around. Some families wait until all the presents h**e been given out before opening any of them, while others open each one as it comes to them. There are many thank you to the ones who g**e the gifts, new clothes are tried on to see if they fit, and of course the most interesting toys will immediately be played with.
　　Usually among the Christmas gifts will be some especially delicious candy or cake or cookies which everyone tastes. These sweet things may be the only breakfast many people eat Christmas morning. After the gifts h**e been opened, the room will be tidied up except where the children are playing with their toys. Everyone will wash and get dressed for the day.
　　Some people may go to a Christmas morning church service around ten oclock if their church didnt h**e one on Christmas Eve. But most people will just watch TV. Well, most men will. The children may play outside or inside with their new toys, but the mothers will be in the kitchen preparing Christmas Dinner.
