calendar, then comes to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished. Vith the new year approaching, every family

evergreens
began
in
ancient
times.
Branches

bring
good luck and guarantee the return of spring. The modern american evergreen is usually covered with colored
balls and strings of colored lights. The poinsettia
plant is another familiar christmas decoration. Its star- shaped
red leaves are an ideal symbol of the
holiday. In western, every family traditionally have turkey or ham, sweet
potatoes, vegetables, and cranberry sauce on Christmas Eve. After this big meal, children hang stockings by the
fireplace, hoping that Santa, a fat, jolly man wearing a red suit, red hat, and long white beard, will fill them with
candy and toys. In addition, many families go to church on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. After services,
they gather around the tree and open their gifts and exchange Merry Christmas greeting with each other. Then
they sit down to enjoy a traditional christmas dinner.
