Christmas by Aishling mc kinney
In France on Christmas Eve before kids go to bed they leave their shoes by the fire place to be filled with gifts. They sometimes find small toys fruits and sweets hanging on the tree.They leave out milk and cookies incase the virgin Mary calls in. People burn a log from Christmas Eve until new years Day. In some houses they bake three kings bread and put a bean in it whoever gets the slice with a bean in it was made the king or queen for the day. The Christmas tree was never popular and even though the yule log tradition has faded they bake a cake shaped like a yule log called a Christmas log. This cake is served at a big feast after the midnight mass. Decorating the Christmas tree began in Germany.It was introduced into Britain by the husband of Queen Victoria,Prince Albert,in 1840.

Christmas is about the birth of Jesus.We do plays about the first Chritsmas when Jesus was born,we have a Mary and a Joseph and the three kings the wise men and most important we have the baby Jesus
