For my Christmas is a very pretty time at which one must find much peace and look for the happiness mainly. It is a time at which the families meet and share the arrival of Christmas generally. For example in my family we met in night good (the 24 of December) to share with others and hoped that they are the 12 midnight we make a prayer and soon distributed gifts. I like to know me as they live some on you (those who visit this page) Christmas in each one of its countries and their families. I like a taste to read about yours traditions. By!!!!!!

In the U.S., we call December 24 "Christmas Eve," and December 31 "New Year's Eve." (The "eve" is short for "evening before.")

Santa Claus comes at night while the children are sleeping and leaves gifts for them if they have been good all year. So they wake up on Christmas Day and find something under the tree.

Most families with little children make sure to leave some milk and cookies for Santa, and some grass or hay for his reindeer. Of course, the children find cookie crumbs and an empty glass left behind by Santa.

Some families have a nice dinner on Christmas Eve, some on Christmas Day. Some families exchange gifts on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day.

Why? Well, I'll give you some points:
- santas scare the **** out of me! (their white beard are disgusting...)
- this "let's all act nice and gentle this time" thing is sooo fake.
- we all spend a hell lot of money
- i get FAT with all the delicious food available at the feast
- etc, etc, etc...
