In English speaking countries, children don’t get their presents on Christmas Eve (24 December). Santa comes at night when everyone is asleep. Santa’s reindeer can fly and take him from house to house. They land on the roofs of the houses and then Santa climbs down the chimney to leave the presents under the Christmas tree. In the morning of Christmas Day (25 December), children usually get up very early to unwrap their presents. Then they have plenty of time to play with their new toys.
Christmas dinner is served in the early afternoon. Most people eat turkey and sprouts and a Christmas pudding.
26 December is called Boxing Day. It hasn’t always been a holiday. People used to go back to work on that day where their bosses gave them little Christmas presents in small boxes. That’s why the day is called Boxing Day.

Merry Christmas! Happy Christmas!
We always get together at Christmas.
In Britain just celebrated Christmas Eve (Christmas Eve). The most important day is Christmas Day (Christmas Day). In the morning opening gifts brought by Father Christmas and the evening meal takes Christmas (Christmas dinner), which is traditionally turkey with vegetables and dessert, Christmas pudding, a pudding made with hot brandy and fruit dry. At 3 pm the Queen gave a speech on television. The day is on December 26 and Boxing Day is a national holiday.
Best wishes.

Hello! I find that very well come papa noel after that people are lying.
So the illusion is greater, that when you lift the gifts you are going to be waiting. But with my age and I do not believe in Santa Claus but my little cousins if they believe they are very happy when someone from our family is disguised in Santa Claus and gives us the gifts.
I hope you all have a new Christmas.
Greetings

On the 24th, Christmas Eve, at the home of my uncles.
