  1. Christmas Customs

    Share Share Post
    Some of the customs at Christmas are, first to make a plum pudding and to put a piece of holly in it, and then to make Christmas cakes.
    The people send presents and get presents from their friends, and send Christmas cards also to remind them of Christmas.
    Another custom is, most people like to come home and spend the Christmas in their own homes.
    The children hang up their stockings on Christmas eve night for Santaclaus.
    In every house the people put up holly on the walls and pictures before Christmas and leave it up till after the twelfth night.
