| § ¶Christmas at my house

On Christmas Eve my family go carol singing around the street with some of the people from the church. At midnight we go to midnight mass. On Christmas Eve my family and me are going out for a meal. I hang up my stoking before I go to bed. Then on Christmas morning I get up early and we all open our presents and I play with my toys then we have our Christmas dinner and after dinner me and my Mum makes up a buffet table with lots of Christmas treats. Then we go and see my gran. Exchange gifts with family. We always have a really nice Christmas.

| § ¶Christmas in my house

We start our Christmas decorating around the end of November. We put up a tree in the living room and put coloured baubles and tinsel on it. We put an angel on the top. We buy presents for everyone we know. On Christmas Eve we wrap up all the presents we have bought and put them under the tree. We start to prepare the food for the next day. When we are done we go to bed. When we are sleeping Santa Claus brings us some toys. When we wake up the room is filled with presents. It is the 25th of December. Me, my sister, my mum and my dad exchange presents. Later my gran, my uncle Alan, my uncle Ronnie, my cousin Declan and my auntie Jennifer come round for dinner. For starters we have lentil soup, for main meal we have turkey, for desert we have gateau and for 4th course we have tea or coffee and mints. Then we all sit down and exchange presents. Then we all play a family game like scrabble or trivial pursuit. It is great!

| § ¶Christmas in my nana's

I wake up early in the morning to open my Christmas presents, and sometimes I get a few surprises. Then I go up to one of my nana’s house to have Christmas dinner then I go up to my other nana’s to meet the rest of my family and we all give each other presents. We also have a Christmas tree with sparkly decorations and a beautiful fairy or star on the top of the Christmas tree. We celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December, because we believe that Jesus was born.

| § ¶Christmas with my family.

I wake up at seven o’ clock am me and my sister go to my mum and dad and say can we open our presents, they both say not until you get us breakfast and a cup of coffee, then all the fun happens we get to open our presents and get our picture taken.
Six o’clock pm, we go to my granny and granddad’s house we meet my aunts, uncles, and cousins. We have a party, when we go home and eat our Christmas dinner. We stay up late because my mum keeps extra presents hidden. My mum says her best Christmas present is our faces when we open our presents. And we never forget the presents for the cats and dogs
P.S we share our dinner with the dogs/ cats. By Amy

At the start on Christmas eve we get new pyjamas so we can get a good night sleep
before Christmas. We all have our presents on the chairs I get the couch mum and dad have the two chairs. Our Christmas tree sparkles with the colours of the rainbow.
The colour of tinsel that we get is gold and silver. Then we go to my granny Catherine
To exchange gifts and Christmas cheer.
We don't only go to granny Catharine we also go to granny Jean for the same thing. We all have a dinner at someone’s house.

Hello kids from the primery school.

The morning that St. Nicolas than he enters the bulding.

His people trow pepernoten and we are singing about sinterklaasje kom maar binnen met je knecht want we zitten allemaal even recht misschien heeft u nog even tijd voordat u weer naar spanje rijd kom dan nog even bij ons aan en laat uw paardje maar buiten staan en we zingen en we springen en we zijn zo blij want er zijn geen stoute kinderen bij!

That’s one van the beautiful songs about St.Nicholas.
