When should you start to buy Christmas presents?One week before the day? Two weeks? Western children start buying presents months before Christmas Day. As the day comes nearer, children write lists of what presents they want to give and receive. Big shopping streets get crowded from late November. Everyone counts down"the number of shopping days left until Christmas". Stores put up colored lights, and Christmas trees. You will hear Christmas songs like Jingle Bells in shop after shop. Some stores offer many dolls, stuffed animals and computer games. You can play with them to see if you like them-there are people to show you how things work. People try to get to the shops early, to buy presents before they sell out. In the week before Christmas, shops stay open late. Some stores open their doors at 9 am and close them at 9 pm,not 9 am until 5:30 pm as normal. It"s very tiring for salespeople ! Some people save for months before the holiday,to have enough money to spend on their friends and family. But not everyone goes shopping for Christmas presents. Some people like to make their own gifts and cards. | |||||||||||||

Year after year, maybe they will forget their 4 birthdays and only remember their own. It is against traditional habits. Many parents don"t let the children do housework.They think children have only one thing to do. They should study hard and do 5 in their lessons.

Parents should teach the children 8 to do housework because it can help them start good habits of working by themselves. | |||||||||||||
