- P2 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. 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.

There is another name for Father Christmas in Britain –Santa Claus. That comes from the European name for him – Saint Nicholas. In the traditional story he lives at the North Pole. But now he lives in big shops in towns and cities all over Britain. That”s where children see him in November and December. Then on Chistmas Eve he visits every house. He climbs down the chimney and leaves lots of presents.

Song “Jingle Bells”

Слайд 8, приложение 1.

Dashing through the snow
In a one – horse open sleigh
Over the hills we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one – horse open sleight.

- P. In Britain the most important meal on December 25^th is Christmas Dinner. Nearly all Christmas food is traditional, but a lot of traditions are not very old.
