Default Christmas

HI to all of you,

What do you do at Christmas in your country? How do you prepare for it?

Best wishes,


m

I like neither of them best.

As to which one I like better, I am not sure.

I like all the holidays of the year especially Christmas and New Year. Maybe I like New Year more as it's the beginning of new ideas, plans ans resolutions. I also like giving and getting presents.

Christmas is my favourite one. This is the holiday when we receive and offer gifts not only material ones but also spiritual ones.

Is Christmas still a religious holiday? Or it is just a holiday when children and also grown-ups receive gifts and have rest?

It is a religious holiday. We go to the church on this day. But we also celebrate it at home.
