The Christmas Day is coming. Its a day that nobody can forget in a year. Every year, the colored lights decorate many town centers and shops, along with shiny decorations, and artificial snow painted on shop windows. And the Christmas trees will also be decorated with lights and Christmas ornaments.

Father Christmas (or Santa Claus) and his gift must be the most attractive part of Christmas in our childhood. We can see from pictures that Father Christmas is a kind old man with long white beard, in red coat, and always takes a bag of toys. He lives near the North Pole, and arrives through the sky on a sledge pull by the reindeer. On the night before Christmas, he will come into houses down the chimney at midnight and place presents in socks or bags that we put by the beds or in front of the family Christmas tree.
And on the streets, shops or at childrens parties, there are people dress up as Father Christmas and give small presents to children. For children, Christmas is a time of magic and excitement. Even when I was grown up, Im still very happy to share the beautiful stories with my niece and nephew, and find the surprises from Father Christmas with them.
On Christmas Day people give each other the Christmas gifts to show that people care about each other. Some people also send their greeting by Christmas cards, instead of paper cards, more people choose to send out and electronic cards which design by themselves, especially friends in the distant.
