1. Christmas traditions
in England.

2. From the 1st of December
to the 24th of December
children have advent
calendars which they open
every day.
Behind the doors are
chocolates or a picture.
We open the doors to count
down the days until
Christmas.

advent candle.
This is a candle with 24
marks on and is also to
count down the days
until Christmas.
Every day a bit more of
the candle is burnt down.

Father Christmas to ask for
presents.

presents.
