FATHER CHRISTMAS / SANTA CLAUS

• Children in England believe that Father Christmas bring them their presents on Christmas Eve (24th December)

• Children will leave food and a drink out for Santa and Rudolph– usually alcohol or milk and a mince

pie for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph!

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING SIMILAR IN SPAIN / CATALUNYA OR DO YOU BELIEVE IN SANTA TOO?

Christmas dinner

Christmas dinner is my favourite dinner of the year! We have turkey and roast vegetables, with gravy!

Christmas dinner

• We always finish off our Christmas dinner with Christmas pudding

• Christmas pudding is a type of fruit cake, which is normally set on fire at the table!

Stockings hung on the fireplace

• Children hang their stockings on the fireplace so that when Father Christmas comes down the chimney, he can put presents inside the stockings!
