The biggest holiday of the year and the one many people, specially children enjoy the most is Christmas Day. Soon after thanksgiving, people start sending Christmas cards and decorate their houses. Almost every home has a Christmas tree. German soldiers started this tradition in the U.S. during the Revolutionary War o 1776.

The evening before Christmas Day is called Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve many people go to church and sing Christmas carols, and the President gives his Christmas message on TV. Parents tell children that Santa Claus will come to their house in the night and leave presents for them.

On Christmas Day, people open their presents and then they prepare a traditional dinner of turkey or ham with vegetables, salads and desserts. There are also special cookies, candies, nuts and fruits. Christmas dinner is eaten late in the afternoon. During the day, many families watch special Christmas TV and children play with their new toys. Some people go ice-skating or drive around town to look at the decorations.
