Christmas

On the 25th of December English children celebrate Christmas. Christmas is their favourite holiday. This holiday is celebrated at home. Santa Claus with white bear and red suit comes into the house at night and leaves gifts for children. On Christmas all people receive and send Christmas cards. Every family has Christmas tree. They put the tree in the room and decorate it and the house . Then they prepare Christmas Dinner. For dinner they have a stuffed turkey or boiled ham, mashed potatoes, pudding, tea and coffee.

Kate:  Do you know Christmas words?

Look at these words. Look at these pictures. Match the words with their pictures.

Read them.

Nastya: On Christmas people bring a tree and decorate it with lights and ornaments. The most popular of all Christmas evergreens is the fir-tree. People in England used to grow many kinds of trees in pots for indoor decoration at Christmas.

(Music “Christmas tree”.)

Kate: Christmas tree came to us from Germany. The idea of bringing the fir-tree indoors at Christmas is said to have come from Martin Luther, a German religious reformer, who lived in the 16th century. The trees were decorated with paper, metal foil, and lights. About in 1835 the first Christmas tree was decorated. A few years later in England Queen Victoria decorated a tree at Windsor Castle.

Nastya: Now look at the groups of the words. Which word doesn’t go with the others.  

Kate:  Christmas begins with Christmas cards. 

The families prepare Christmas Cards to their relatives and friends.

The first Christmas card appeared in 1843, Sir Henry Cole invented it. One side of the card was a short greeting, and another – a nice picture. Soon these cards became very popular (слайд).

Teacher: Children, have you got such cards? Congratulate each other and our teachers with this holiday.

(Учащиеся поздравляют друг друга с Рождеством.)

Nastya:  The main person of Christmas is Santa Claus.

He lives in the North Pole. On the 25th of December he hitches his reindeer to a sleigh and brings the presents for children in the Christmas stocking. (слайд)

 (Входит Санта)

Santa Claus: Dear children and teachers, I’d like to congratulate you with Merry Christmas. I wish you good health, good wealth, happiness, let all your dreams come true!

 Santa Clause:  You know that music is very important in Christmas Celebrations.

Hundreds of Christmas songs come from all over the world. In the Middle Ages Christmas Carols became popular. The word “Carol” means “a round dance”. Often the carolers dance in the street round the tree in the park. (слайд)

Nastya:  On the 26th of December at 12a.m. English families have Christmas Dinner. (слайд)
