  1. Just before Christmas British people send lots of cards, go to nativity play and carol services.

  2. People decorate their homes with paper decorations, branches of holly. a crib and a Christmas tree.

  3. On Christmas Eve children hang their stockings on the fireplace and leave a glass of sherry for Father Christmas and a carrot for Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer.

  4. The whole family has a large lunch. People usually have roast turkey with potatoes and for dessert a Christmas Pudding and mince pies.

  5. The 26th December is called BOXING DAY, because it is the day when the church gives the money collected in wooden boxes, to the poor.

  6. "Do They Know It's Christmas?" is a song written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in 1984 to raise money for relief of the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia. The original version was produced by Midge Ure and released by Band Aid in 1984. By the end of 1984 a report by BBC highlighted the famine that had hit the people of Ethiopia in 1984 -1985. The Irish singer Bob Geldof saw the report and wanted to raise money. He called Midge Ure from Ultravox and together they quickly co-wrote the song, "Do They Know It's Christmas? Geldof put together a group called Band Aid and they recorded the song. The singers were very popular: Sting (Police), Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran), Bono (U2), George Michael (Wham), Phil Collins (Genesis), Paul McCartney.

  7. And there won't be snow in Africa • this Christmas time • The greatest gift they'll get this year is life. • Oh, where nothing ever grows, • no rain or rivers flow • Do they know it's Christmas time at all? • Here's to you, raise a glass for ev'ryone • Here's to them, underneath that burning sun • Do they know it's Christmas time at all? • Feed the world (2)Feed the world • Let them know it's Christmas time again (5) It's Christmas time; there's no need to be afraid At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade. And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time. …. But say a prayer to pray for the other ones At Christmas time It's hard, but when you're having fun There's a world outside your window And it's a world of dread and fear Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears And the Christmas bells that ring there Are the clanging chimes of doom Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
