  1. Christmas Eve

    Share Share Post
    Christmas Eve falls on the 24th of December. It was on that night Our Lord was born. Christmas is the most joyful time of the year and it is one of the greatest feasts. The children are looking forward to it each year. They are looking forward to the coming of Santa Claus because they hang up their stockings. The people always give a great cleaning to the house for Christmas and they put holly on the wall for decoration
