📖 Part 1: Reading About Christmas

Christmas Around the World

Christmas is a Christian holiday celebrated on 25th December every year. It celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas began over 2,000 years ago and is now celebrated by millions of people around the world.

In Australia, Christmas happens during summer. The weather is hot, around 25-35°C. Many Australian families have barbecues on the beach or in their gardens. They eat prawns, ham, and pavlova. Some people go camping or to the beach for their Christmas holidays.

In the Northern Hemisphere (like England, Canada, and Germany), Christmas happens during winter. It is cold, often below 0°C. There might be snow. Families stay inside warm houses. They eat roast turkey, vegetables, and Christmas pudding. Children hope for snow and build snowmen.

Common Christmas traditions include decorating Christmas trees, giving presents, singing Christmas carols, and spending time with family. Many people also attend church services and share special meals together.
