        Monday of this week is Christmas Day. Did you get some presents on this Christmas Day?
        A Christmas Day is the most important festival in Britain and some other countries. On Christmas Eve (December 24th), people usually tell their children to put their stockings at the end of their beds before they go to sleep.
        Children believe Father Christmas will bring them Christmas presents.
        Actually, Father Christmas is children's father. He dresses up in a red coat and waits until children fall asleep. Then he goes into children's bedrooms, and puts small presents in their stockings. When children are no longer young, they know who Father Christmas really is.
        Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings. They also have stockings. Early on the morning of Christmas Day, children wake their parents up say “Merry Christmas”. Then they help their parents open their stockings. Everybody likes presents. But it is better to give than to receive.
        In France, everyone has a Christmas tree, sometimes decorated in the old way with red ribbons and white candles. Trees in the garden are often decorated too, with lights on all night. Father Christmas is called Pere Noel in France. The Christmas meal is an important chance for family to get together with good meat and the best wine. Not everyone sends Christmas cards.
        In Germany, people love to decorate their houses with some beautiful small things at Christmas. Father Christmas brings presents in the late afternoon of Christmas Eve, after people have been to a church meeting. The presents are then found under the Christmas tree. One person in the family will ring a bell and call everyone to come to the room. On Christmas Day, some delicious food will be cooked.

Birthday Traditions in Different Countries

England
        Certain symbolic objects are mixed into the birthday cake as it's being prepared. If your piece of cake has a coin in it, then you will be rich. Also, when it's your birthday, your friends give you the "bumps". They lift you in the air by your hands and feet and raise you up and down to the floor; one for each year you lived, then another one or two for luck.

Denmark
        A flag is flown outside a window to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the child's bed while he/she is sleeping, so he/she will see them at once upon awakening.

Holland
        Special year birthdays such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 21 are called "crown" years. The birthday child receives an especially large gift on a crown year birthday. The family also decorates the birthday child's chair at the dining room table with flowers, paper streamers and balloons.

Canada
        The birthday child's nose is greased(涂抹) with butter for good luck. The greased nose makes the child too slippery for bad luck to catch him/her. In some parts of Canada, the birthday person even receives a punch (一拳) for each year he/she is alive and then one for good luck.

Brazil
        The birthday child receives a pull on the ear for each year he/she has been alive. The birthday person also gives the first piece of cake to his/her most special friend or relative, usually mom or dad.

Korea
        There is a big family party on the first birthday. The table is set with food, and four items: a pencil, a ruler, thread, and money. The item that the baby chooses is said to forecast his/her future: excellent student, good with hands, long life or riches.
