2. From the 1st of December
to the 24th of December
children have advent
calendars which they open
every day.
Behind the doors are
chocolates or a picture.
We open the doors to count
down the days until
Christmas.
3. Some families have an
advent candle.
This is a candle with 24
marks on and is also to
count down the days
until Christmas.
Every day a bit more of
the candle is burnt down.
4. The children write letters to
Father Christmas to ask for
presents.
Good children get
presents.

On Christmas Eve people sing in the streets and
knock on doors to ask for money for charity.
They are called Carol Singers.

Midnight Mass.
This is a special service at church where people
come together to sing Christmas songs.
It starts at midnight!
