"Christmas Around The World"

Christmas is the happiest and the busiest time of the year for the millions of christmas through out the world. People from different countries celebrate the holiday in various ways, depending on the national and local customs.
The people decorate their homes with Christmas trees, wreths and many kinds of ornaments. The streets are lit with multicolored lights and the sound of carols fill the airwaves. The Christmas tree is the center of the celebration. It is trimmed with lights, tinsels and colorful ornaments. Everyone in the family puts their gifts under the Christmas tree.
On Christmas eve or Christmas morning, cristians attend church services. The churches are decked with ever green branches and red poinsettias, but the main attraction is the creache or Nativity scene. Churahgeus listen to reading from the bible and join in the singing of Christmas carols. In the evening, families gather for a traditional Christmas dinner.
And even we have had our share of difficulties this year, we should thank the Lordfor saving us from the ouslaught of natural calamities that beset our country resently, and for the blessings he has given us throughout the year.
