Christmas Eve - Traditionally Day
Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve (December 24) is traditionally the day for decorating churches and homes. It marks the beginning of the period formally known as Christmas-tide.

Christmas traditionally started at sunset on December 24. Our ancient ancestors considered this to be Christmas Evening (or Christmas Eve). copyright of projectbritain.com

Night time on Christmas Eve is a very exciting time for young children. It is the time when Father Christmas (Santa) comes. copyright of projectbritain.com

The children leave mince pies and brandy for Father Christmas, and a carrot for the reindeer.

From 1870 children have hung up Christmas stockings at the ends of their beds or along the mantelpiece above the fireplace. Today, children still hang Christmas stockings or bags up ready for Father Christmas, who will hopefully fill them up with presents, if the children have been good. The children then go to sleep and wait for Christmas morning to see if he has been.
