    (continued from previous page)
    Christmas day is in memory of Jesus Christ who was born on that day. It is a custom for carol singers to go out and sing carols, the names of some of the special carols are "See amid the winter snow". "The first Nowell", "Hark the Herald Angels sing" and "O come all ye faithful", and they collect money for the poor to make Christmas more happy for them.
