Christmas is one of the most wonderful holidays of the year. It is celebrated on December 25th in many countries around the world. This day is special because people celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Homes and streets are decorated with lights, colorful ornaments, and beautiful Christmas trees. Families often hang stockings by the fireplace for Santa Claus to fill with gifts. Santa Claus, also called Saint Nicholas, is a kind old man who brings presents to children. He travels in a sleigh (сані) pulled by reindeer (північний олень) and comes down the chimney (димохід) to leave gifts (подарунки). Many children write letters to Santa, telling him what they wish for. Many families attend church (церква) to remember the true meaning of Christmas. They light candles (запалювати свічки) and listen to stories about Jesus’ birth (народження Іісуса). It is a time to feel thankful and show kindness to others. Christmas is a magical time full of love, joy, and togetherness.
