Children's Christmas Traditions Discussion

I was listening, yeah, I was listening to a couple of children,

a few children a

few years ago, talking about Christmas.

And one said, "Well, what do you do Christmas?"

A little Catholic boy. And he said, "Well, I, I get up and, and I, and

I see my stocking. And, and I have a look at all the presents

under the stocking.

And then Daddy comes in and we,

we, we, we hug each other and we say Happy Christmas.

And my sister comes in and we hug her and we Happy Christmas.

And, and then Mummy comes in and we kiss Mummy.

And, and then we go down and we look at the Christmas tree and,

and all the

presents underneath. And before we open them,

we all go off to mass, and we thank

Jesus for being born, for giving us all the presents.

And then we come back and, and, and all the presents, and Daddy says,

'You can open

your presents.' And, and we all, we tear open the presents."

And he said to the little Protestant boy, he said, "Well, what do you do on, on

Christmas Day?" He said, "I get, I get out the stockings,

and I read the stockings.

And, and, and, and we don't go to church 'cause we're

Protestants.

And then we open all the presents. And I have toys.

I have toys all over the place.

I love toys. I love toys." He said to the little Jewish

boy, he said, "What do you

do?" He said, "Uh, well, my daddy and I, we go down to our toy factory and we look

at all the empty shelves."

"And we sing two choruses of Don't We Have a Friend in Jesus, and then we go to

Menorca."
