【答案】 Christmas Day
Christmas is a joyful religious holiday when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.To people all over the world,Christmas is a season of giving and receiving presents.In some European countries,Father Christmas,or Saint Claus,es into houses in the night and leaves gifts for the children.Saint Nicholas
is represented as a kindly man with a red cloak and long white beard.
Most children believe that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole.All year he lists the names of children,both those who have been good and those who have been bad.He decides what presents to give to the good children.Each child hung a stocking,or sock,over the fireplace.Santa entered down the chimney and
left candy and presents inside the socks for the children.On the morning of Christmas day.Each child can't wait to open his or her eyes to see what Santa has left in the stocking.
Christmas Cards
Another important custom of Christmas is to send and receive Christmas cards,which are meant to help express the sentiment of the season.Americans begin sending Christmas cards early in December to friends,
acquaintances,and co-workers.The post office advises customers to mail early in the season and avoid the Christmas rush.Some people heed the advice; others wait until the last minute and then are upset when their loved ones have not received the greeting card or the present which they sent.
