  1. When Christmas is coming the people are very busy cleaning the house. They white wash the walls inside and outside. Then they decorate the walls with a holly and ivy.
    On Christmas Eve the people that are away come home again. When night falls each family sits in their own home and they enjoy their Christmas supper. They have tea and all kinds of sweet cakes on that night. One this account they enjoy it better than any other.
