10 On February 24th, all the children were very excited. Usually they are put to bed early by their parents, so their parents can prepare presents for them. Younger children think that Santa Claus will come down from the chimney or fireplace, so they all hang socks so that Santa can put presents in. Some greedy children even hang up pillowcases or bags, hoping to get more gifts. Late at night, my father or mother will put the presents in socks and put the others on the other side of the bed.
On Christmas morning, children get up early. Some people even turn on the lights at two in the middle of the night, but most children get up at six in the morning because there are no lights in Britain at this time of year. Children will look for their parents, while younger children will play until Christmas dinner is ready. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner began. Turkey and chicken were quickly eaten up. Then the children searched for new coins hidden in the Christmas pudding. The children played games and ate big meals for the rest of the day until the end of Christmas.
