Christmas is on December 25th. It’s my favorite  26  . In the morning my parents often  27 the house. My brother and I often  28 the Christmas tree with lights. Then we put a star  29 the top(顶部) of the tree. In the evening, everything is  30 . We sit at the table and eat turkey(火鸡) for Christmas 31 . After the meal, my brother and I watch TV. We often wait for Father Christmas  32 we want to  33 presents from him. Father Christmas always knows  34 I want. Next year I’m going to the cinema with   35 parents. I want to have a different Christmas Day.
