On Christmas Eve—the night before Christmas, children are very happy. They put their stockings(长筒袜) at the end of their beds before they go to bed. They want Father Christmas to give them some presents.

Mr. Green tells his children that Father Christmas is a very kind man. He comes on Christmas Eve. He lands on the top of each house and comes down the chimney(烟囱) into the fireplace(壁炉). He brings children a lot of presents.

The children wake up very early on Christmas. They can't wait to open the presents in their stockings. Then they wake up their parents and say "Merry Christmas!" On this day, people always give presents to each other.
