Christmas is a great religious holiday. As most Americans are Christians so it is widely celebrated in America. On this day many go to Church services to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. There are many Christmas traditions which are very popular, for example to give presents to the children with the help of Santa Claus, who is said to live at the North Pole, where he makes toys for children during the whole year. Grown-ups also exchange presents and Christmas greeting cards. Americans decorate their homes for Christmas. They have a Christmas tree, which they decorate with toys and small lights. The tree may be a real fir tree from the forest or an artificial one. Gifts are given not only to children, members of the family and close friends. They are given to people who do a lot of work for other people, for example, the postman, milkman. Many firms give their workers gifts for extra money for good work. Christmas is also a time when Americans do a lot of charity work. They help the poor people, organize Christmas dinners for the homeless people. Much help is given to sick people, invalids, people of old age. During Christmas you can meet a lot of people in the streets who collect money for those who are in need.
