Father Christmas
Before
they go to bed on the 24th of December, all British
children hang up a sock or a sack for Father Christmas
to fill.
And, as they lay dreaming and sleeping Father
Christmas arrives with lots of wonderful presents.
No
one has ever seen Father Christmas arrive on his sleigh and
no one has ever seen him climb down the chimney. But,
all the little children are happy with the presents he
brings.
And
Father Christmas is happy as well. Everyone leaves a small glass of
whisky for him. And in Britain there are millions of stockings to
fill!
Happy
Christmas!
