history.In Turkey,there once was a man named Saint Nicholas.He
was a very shy person. He wanted to give money to the poor. But
he did not want them to know that the money came from him.
He didn’t know what to do . It is said that one day he climed to
the top of a house and dropped some money down a chimney .
It went into a stocking that a little girl had hung by the
fireplace to dry! Even through Father Christmas is no longer
living , his spirit of generosity lives on today.
Christmas Day always begins before breakfast. Children
wake up very early, and can’t wait to open the presents in
their stockings and under the tree. They wake up the other
family members, calling,” Merry Christmas!” After all the presents
are opened, the family will usually have a delicious breakfast.
They spend the day playing with the new toys and visiting their
relatives and friends. They greet each other with a hug and say,
”Merry Christmas!”
