Teacher: There is a tradition of hanging Christmas stockings at the bed or at the fireplace. On the eve of Christmas Santa Claus visits each home sliding down chimneys and puts any gifts into the stockings. The most popular things he puts are tangerines or nuts for good children and a piece of coal for not so good children. Let’s look into our stockings at the fireplace. Oh, Santa couldn’t decide what children were you, so he gave you the task: “They say if you know how a person spends his day you know what kind of person he is”. Santa wanted to know how you spend your day and he sent some questions, but some words of these questions have been lost. Please find these words and answer Santa’s questions.
Questions:
- …will be the first? (Who)
- …does your day begin? (When)
- …do you get up early in the morning? (Why)
- …do you usually have for breakfast? (What)
- …classes do you have on Friday? (How many)

Teacher: Do you know any poems about Christmas?
Pupils:
Oh! Christmas Tree
Oh! Christmas Tree, all candy caned,
all green, all glowing bright.
Oh! Christmas tree all tinseled, rained,
all dressed in colored light.
Oh! Christmas Tree an angel stands,
she guards above each bough.
She smiles o'er your rainbow dress
and knows that even, now.
The gifts, the wrappings about your feet,
those presents on the floor.
Are but, the simple actions of
our love and nothing more.
Just some sweet, kind, thoughtfulness,
at this His time of year.
To show you, our angel and our God
His love is living here.
Holy is the Night
Holy is the night.
Blessed the starlight.
Chaste the falling snow.
Christ is all aglow.
Snowflakes
Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling Gently on a winter's night.
Graceful beauty raining down
Giving magic to the lifeless round.
Each snowflake, a falling star
Smiling beauty that is spun afar.
Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
Till earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night.

Teacher: Santa Claus has a lot of names: in Britain he is Father Christmas, in America he is Kriss Kringle. Не is an old man. Не wears red clothes and long white beard. Everybody thinks that he lives in the North Pole. And the whole year he makes toys for children with the help of his elves.
People think that he is a happy man and he always says “Ho, ho, ho”. He drives a sledge pulled by flying reindeer. Do you know the names of Santa’s reindeer? I have their photo, but I don’t remember who is who. Try to do it! Look at the reindeer and their names and match them.

Teacher: People think that Christmas is the time of fun and presents. They usually celebrate Christmas at home with their relatives and friends. They eat special food and have a lot of fun. In England people make Christmas pudding before Christmas. Everyone in family stirs the pudding and makes a wish. It’s a traditional meal, which people cook for Christmas party. When the pudding is hot they put 5-penny pieces in it, and sometimes a little silver horseshoe, a button and a ring. If you find a button in your piece of pudding you will be rich, a horseshoe means happiness and good luck, a ring - marriage.
The 26th December – Boxing Day is an extra holiday after Christmas. This day people usually give and receive presents. This is time to visit friends and relatives or to sit at home and watch football.
And we have the last Christmas stocking from Santa.
Pupils: What is the task?
Teacher: Santa asks to find Christmas words in this strange box with a lot of letters. Let’s try!
Слова:
| CHIMNEY | JINGLE BELLS | SNOW | SLEIGH | |||
| HOLIDAY | DECEMBER | TREE | ELVES | |||
| REINDEER | STOCKING | TOYS | SANTA | |||
| RUDOLPH | LETTER | STAR |
