Christmas is the biggest festival of the year in most of Britain. Celebrations start on 24 December, Christmas Eve. It is a family celebration and many of customs centre on children. When they go to bed on Christmas Eve, children hang up a pillow case( tuÝ) or a sack( bao t¶i ) for their presents. When the children are asleep, Santa Claus climbs down the chimney and puts presents in the sacks that children have left out. On Christmas morning, some families go to the church.
