    Claus comes and puts toys in their stockings.
    On Christmas Day the people have a big plum-pudding which they eat after their dinner.
    On Christmas morning all the people go to early Mass and receive Holy-
    Communion. There is a crib in the Church to remind us of the stable in which Our Lord was born and all during the Twelve Days of Christmas the people visit the Crib and they put pennies in the box for the poor which is in the Crib.
