A Christmas Day is the most important festival in Britain and some other countries. On Christmas Eve
(December 24th), people usually tell their children to put their stockings* at the end of their beds before
they go to sleep.
Children believe Father Christmas will bring them Christmas presents. Actually, Father Christmas is
children’s father. He dresses up in a red coat and waits until children fall asleep. Then he goes into
children’s bedrooms, and puts small presents in their stockings. When childrenre no longer young, they
know who Father Christmas really is.
Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings. They also have stockings. Early
on the morning of Christmas Day, children wake their parents up say “Merry* Christmas”. Then they
help their parents open their stockings. Everybody likes presents. But it is better to give than to receive.
In France, everyone has a Christmas tree, sometimes decorated in the old way with red ribbons* and
white candles*. Trees in the garden are often decorated too, with lights on all night. Father Christmas is
called Pere Noel in France. The Christmas meal is an important chance for family to get together with
good meat and the best wine. Not everyone sends Christmas cards.
In Germany, people love to decorate their houses with some beautiful small things at Christmas.
Father Christmas brings presents in the late afternoon of Christmas Eve, after people have been to a
church meeting. The presents are then found under the Christmas tree. One person in the family will
ring a bell and call everyone to come to the room. On Christmas Day, some delicious food will be
cooked.

My son starts school today. It’s going to be strange and new to him for some time. And I wish you
would treat him gently.
You see, up to now, he has been the king of his own room. He has been the boss of the backyard. I
have always been around to treat his wounds* and to comfort* his feelings.
But now things are going to be different. This morning, he’s going to walk down the front steps, wave
his hand and start on his great adventure*.
So, World, I wish you would take him by the little hand and teach him the things he will have to know.
Teach him there are heroes, leaders and friends in this world. Give him quiet time to think over the
mystery of birds in the sky, clouds in the sun and flowers on the green hill.
Teach him to believe in his own ideas, even id everyone else tells him they are wrong.
Teach him to stand and fight if he thinks he is right.
Teach him never to put a price on his heart and soul*.
Teach him gently, World, but don’t coddle* him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. This
is a big order, World, and see what you can do. He’s such a little fellow*.

| We wanted to know how students at our school spend money. So we made some questions to ask our classmates. First, we asked them how much money they spent in one month. Then we asked how much money they spent for things like drinks, music, books, movies, computer games and other things. Our math teacher helped us make a graph of our classmates" answers. Then we asked them to think of their expenses last year. It was of course a bit harder, but we got their answers at last. We made another graph and compared two graphs.
