12月25日是聖誕節。對許多男孩和女孩來說，這天是個非常開心的日子。在某些學校，學期結束前，孩子們會表演有關(耶穌)誕生或出生的戲劇，用來(向大家)展示耶穌是如何在馬廄里出生的。
on the twenty-fourth of december， all children are very excited. usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready. the younger children think that father christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace， so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. the greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents. later that night， father or mother will put presents in the sock， and leave others at the side of the bed.
