Christmas is Christian holiday. For millions of Christians throughout the world it is the happiest and the busiest time of the year. People of different countries celebrate Christmas in various ways. People in the United States and Canada decorate their homes with Christmas trees, wreaths and ornaments. City streets are filled with coloured lights; the sound of bells and Christmas carols can be heard everywhere. People send Christmas cards to relatives and friends. Many companies give presents to their employees.
A Christmas tree is one of the main symbols of Christmas in most homes. Presents are placed under the tree. On Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, families open their presents.
In many parts of the United States and Canada groups of people walk from house to house and sing Christmas carols. Some people give singers money or small gifts or invite them for a warm drink.
Many people attend church services on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.
A traditional Christmas dinner consists of stuffed turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and a variety of dishes. Pumpkin pie, plum pudding, and fruitcake are favourite desserts.
