It is said that on Christmas Eve, Santa Claus Association drives reindeer sleigh full of gifts to give gifts to some well-behaved children. He would quietly climb into the house from the chimney and put the presents in the socks hanging by the bed. So the children always hang colorful socks on the bedside and put a cup of hot milk next to them to quench their thirst for hard-working Santa Claus and give themselves a big gift.

5. Give gifts to each other.

On Christmas Eve, the whole family gathered in the living room to sing Christmas songs around the Christmas tree, exchange gifts and share the joys and sorrows of life in the past year.

ChristmasEve refers to the night of February 24th, 65438+, which means Christmas Eve. The English name is Christmas Eve, and it is also used to mean the day before Christmas. Coincidentally, it is the same as the folk "Dust Sweeping Festival" in our country (on February 24th, 65438, families in most parts of the country have to sweep dust, and "dust" is homophonic with "Chen", so "dust sweeping" means "removing the old"). In old Europe, Christmas Eve was also a day to clean the dust.
