BR 2-03: Christmas around the world (Sims, 2005)

'Cards are written and sent. Presents are wrapped and waiting under the three.' (p.6).

Christmas is the most wonderful and special day in the year. People give presents each other, enjoy great feast, and gratitude to Christ. No Christians people also celebrate and the number is about millions. Of course, I like Christmas. In Japan, we enjoy Christmas about two to three days. But true Christmas lasts for twelve days. I envy that and I think we must take over this historical worldwide precious day.
